Radisson Properties in Madrid

The room hygiene was decent. As someone with allergies, this hotel was the most allergenic of the three I stayed at during this trip. However, the symptoms were mild, and wearing a full set of pajamas helped alleviate them. What I found most baffling about this hotel – I'm not sure if it's because Trip.com chose the cheapest rate or if it's a nationality issue – is that whether I checked in in the morning or after 9 PM, I was always assigned a room directly above the nightclub. Yes, I mean rooms between floors 16 and 19. For the first three nights, the nightclub downstairs was incredibly loud. On the positive side, there was a water dispenser at the end of the hallway offering ice water, room temperature water, and sparkling water. The front desk service was basic, but a friendly smile was noticeably absent, which I found a bit surprising given the hotel's price.

The location is excellent, close to museums and art galleries like the Prado, Thyssen-Baptiste, and Reina Sofia, and convenient for traveling to other Spanish cities from the train station. The room was more refined than the official photos, and the space was quite large. Hotels in Madrid generally offer lower value for money compared to other cities, but overall, we were satisfied. The room included a list of recommended restaurants in the area; be sure to check the ratings on Google Maps before choosing, as we trusted the hotel's recommendations too much and ended up with a terrible experience.
