2/10 Poor

There was heavy construction in the facility during my stay. This included hammering onto my room walls!!!!!! Simply abusive and a horrible experience I would like to get some accountability for.

Overal good with some complaints
Good Customers service. Some prostitution activities in the area. Very noisy after Midnights. I could not sleep sometimes because of the noise coming from a bar next door. Location is in the Center of Madrid.

My room was tiny and quite old fashioned compared to some other rooms. As a solo female traveller I did not feel safe especially at night. The road was dark and in a red light area. However on arrival the first receptionist was very friendly and helpful.
