Michelin Guide "Elegant public area and superb guestrooms."
Frommer's "This deluxe haven seriously challenges the city's other truly elegant hotels, including the sublime Ritz, for comfort, sophistication, and a touch of that old class." Full review
Concierge "It's understated, coolly modern, and deluxe, with all the... service a picky guest could ask for."
Travel + Leisure "Carved from a 19th-century Edwardian-style manor home, this 50-room hotel is steps from the city’s major museums." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Once a 19th-century palace, this luxurious hotel combines classic grandeur with ultra-hip design."
Time Out "With their palette of greys and browns, the rooms can seem a little dour and masculine after the frothy extravagances of the belle-epoque building in which they are housed." Full review
Star Service "This property is hands-down one of Madrid's best small hotels, along with sibling Santo Mauro, Adler and Hospes Madrid." Full review
Afar Magazine "Trendsetting and luxury themes remain. While the ornate neoclassical architecture has been lovingly preserved, the design team has complemented it with modern art and decor." Full review

Michelin Guide "Although it occupies the site of one of the oldest inns in the city, this hotel is a cutting-edge property."
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"This restored 19th-century inn sits on one of our favourite streets in Madrid and rooms either look out over the street or over the pretty internal patio." Full review

"It’s a great choice for travelers looking for a fun place to stay in a lively area convenient to most of Madrid’s attractions." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"This inn in the oldest and most atmospheric part of Madrid is now a chic three-star hotel where contemporary style blends smoothly with traditional architecture." Full review
Frommer's "The rooms of this boutique hotel and bar are bright and designer-ish, with a Moorish theme. The accommodation is set around a much more traditional courtyard." Full review
i
Make sure you get an upstairs room, either overlooking the street (great views but noisier) or the courtyard (quieter but smaller). Avoid the small ground-floor bedroom right beside the restaurant.
