Chosen for EASY trip to any terminal at MAD airport. One stop away from either T1-T3 or T4. The area felt very safe, and was clean, lots of local restaurants and services. Staff were friendly. Good sized room and bath, very clean except a platform behind/above the bed was very dusty, otherwise very clean. Elevator, quiet, and a VERY good buffet breakfast for the price, but totally satisfying, enjoyable. I would consider staying here again for an extended stay at reaonable cost and just plan the Metro transit time in my days in Madrid. It took about 25 minutes from getting on the #8 line at Chamartin to getting to the hotel reception desk. It is a 5-7 min walk from Barajas Metro stop. Very easy.
