The Bar/Lounge at Hotel Room Mate Alicia

"The all-white lobby with curving walls, ceiling, and lamps, 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"

"However, there is no bar or fitness center on-site"

"A strip of bustling tapas bars is just out the front door"

"The style (the work of designer Pascua Ortega) is a touch more muted than in other Room Mate hotels, but the supermodern look remains intact, the downstairs bar is oh-so-cool, and the service is young and switched on"

"Located on a buzzing square in the bohemian neighbourhood of Barrio de las Letras is the stylish Room Mate Alicia"
