Agumar

The good stuff: modern, clean, onsite restaurants, good buffet breakfast, a/c room with a view (all the usual facilities eg minibar), walking distance from Atocha station (from which you can bus or metro to international airport), lift, friendly staff, 12 o'clock checkout (you may be able to negotiate a later time). Nearby restaurants, small convenience and large supermarket close by.

The hotel's big attraction is that it is located close-ish to Atocha, and a short walk or bus ride to the Prado and the Retiro. It also has a convenient restaurant and a helpful reception. The rooms are comfortable and they are well insulated from street noise.

The staff were good, but one of them, Eduardo Gullen Moreno (not sure about the spelling) went far beyond the others to help us find the best Spanish restaurants, areas of attraction, areas to be careful in dealing with strangers, directons to get to our destinations, and open pharmacies when almost all were closed during the holiday on past Thursday. None of the others were are as very helpful as Eduardo.

Clean room, a view! Good location except for roadworks which are out of hotel’s control. Near to Metro. Breakfast very good, plenty of choice. Cafeteria staff excellent, very friendly and helpful

The location was great, near the bus stop and a few minutes from the metro station. The room was big, clean and comfortable, the bed was done daily. Breakfast was good, diverse and fresh. We had sandwiches at the bar and were delicious. The receptionists were polite, smiling all the time and willing to help.
