7 Islas Hotel

neat simple hotel. lovely cafe personal. location is really good Rodrigo at the front desk was more than kind. comfy bathroom. Toiletries are fine

stayed in a deluxe room. muuch smaller than the picture shows. bed was small for two and very uncomfortable.

The location, close to gran via.

The hotel is not worth 4 stars. It has no real reception. People working there are Spanish talking friendly only. They really lose their smile as soon as you try to have a word with them in English, not to mention other languages. The breakfast was too expensive. Just around the corner outside, there were plenty of offers way better for much less and in a better location (in the hotel the breakfast is served in a basement). The room is ugly, with an ugly unwelcoming spartan decor (I hurt the back of my head twice with the dried leather banners used as a headboard), no rugs... The room looks like a prison cell, with metal grilles everywhere, no drawers, no lockers, no real nightstand, the sink too narrow, a narrow window in the corner. The cleaning never done before 14:30. Nothing to watch on TV. Not a channel to watch a football match in your room or a movie or whatsoever. Nothing to watch in English, French, Arabic or whatsoever. To keep it short. It was too expensive. I had a wonderful stay in Madrid but it wasn't for sure for the room neither the hotel or its staff.
