Michelin Guide "This emblematic hotel has been pleasantly modernised."
OysterLuxury
"Distinctive details that give the interior spaces a modern, arty vibe, such as the funky light fixtures, sleek leather couches, and elegant antiques in the airy lobby." Full review
Star Service "Also known simply as the Melia Madrid, this big glamorous Spanish workhorse overshadows the comparatively staid Husa Princesa with designer digs and trendy common areas." Full review

The large room count means that staffers are rarely able to accommodate special requests in advance.
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—a few bulls' heads hang in the lounge." 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

"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

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.
