Catalonia Puerta del Sol

The place was great. All good reviews from us--we are picky about cleanliness and service. The only downside is that there is an enclosed courtyard in the middle of the hotel and it can be quite noisy early in the morning or late at night if other guests don't abide by the "quiet" signs. There were several nights of our ten night stay that we had to listen to loud people (often other Americans, surprise surprise) who hung out loudly in the hotel bar instead of going out in Madrid.

Very good hotel in prime location for main tourist attractions. Numerous bars, restaurants and cafes close by. Huge bed and spotless bedding. Good size room. If being picky then there was no BBC news channel and we had no heating so it was a little cold in the rooms. On two nights the cold woke me. Apparently it had been warm the few days before we arrived and so the air conditioning was on instead of the heating system. The hotel staff were unable to put the heating on in just a few rooms and we were told to use the spare blanket provided! Staff welcoming and courteous.

This hotel offers a superb location, extremely comfortable beds with high quality linens, excellent bathrooms and nice windows to open. Service is outstanding. I highly recommend.

Excellent stay in a very central hotel, very spacious room, everything new and well organised; very clean and fab bathroom. Nice decor overall as well. Good breakfast too. Recommended.
