Rough Guide "In a great location – if a little noisy."
Fodor's "The all-white lobby... and the fancy gastrobar facing Plaza Santa Ana set the hip mood for the mostly young urbanites who stay in this former trench coat factory." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Alicia is crisp and contemporary, with light-wood wall panels and brightly colored bed throws offsetting the otherwise all-white décor." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The ideal location for those wanting to be in the thick of Madrid’s vibrant nightlife. This clean cut ultra-modern hotel is affordable to most travellers yet luxurious at the same time."
