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."

Concierge "Once the hotel of choice among visiting bullfighters, the 192-room ME in Madrid, formerly the Grand Hotel Reina Victoria, could just be the coolest hotel in the city."
Fodor's "In an unbeatable location, this ultramodern hotel retains a few reminders of the era when bullfighters would convene here before setting off to Las Ventas." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The rooms boast a martini bar and the latest entertainment technology including a DVD and CD library, a plasma TV, a complimentary iPod and surround-sound speakers."
Condé Nast Traveler "Formerly the Grand Hotel Reina Victoria, this hotel enjoys “a great location” on the Plaza de Santa Ana, near art galleries and silver and antiques shops." Full review
Star Service "Aura rooms are the standard size, Vibe rooms provide a tad more space, and the Mode rooms add better views of the plaza to their even larger size." Full review
BlackBook "Lined with restaurants where famous bullfighters dine, and bars where Hemingway drank, Plaza Santa Ana is one of the most well known squares in Madrid."
Time Out "The end result is supremely comfortable, with luxury bedlinen, Aveda toiletries and lots to keep gadget-fiends happy, not only with plasma screens, CD and DVD players, but even iPod adapters." Full review
Lonely Planet "Once the landmark Gran Victoria Hotel, the Madrid home of many a famous bullfighter, this audacious new hotel is a landmark of a different kind." Full review
