Hotel Madrid Río — Hotel in Madrid

But i will. After this review.||||LOCATION.||About 1 hour from the airport to Legazpi metro station, then 10 minute walk across the bridge to the Hotel,||The Hotel is situated on a very busy road in a local area. There are many shops, bars and fast food outlets here aswell as a large shopping mall just 2 minutes walk away. This has a large and cheap food market inside.||HOTEL||Arriving outside you enter the reception after climbing a flight of stairs to the first floor.||The staff were well mannered and polite. Tho they couldnt speak much English.||ROOM.||My room 125 was on the first floor. It was large with a comftable bed. Plenty of power outlets. TV was good. Shower facilites were fine. ||Towels and bed sheets were changed each day as was the soap and shower gel.||The view from my window faced the main road and the window was single pane glass with a loose and rickety window frame. This did not prevent any noise from coming through.||The noise was terrible. 24 hours of constant traffic.||And then the Garage. ||Below the first floor, below my room was the Mechanics Garage. From 7am to 7pm, nothing but loud banging, sirens and horns blaring out, utter hell.||Im glad i only used this Hotel as a place to sleep. I could not have stayed any longer had i wished to relax in the room for more than an hour.||If you stay here ask to be put on the third floor. Please dont stay on the first floor.||Other than the noise, the rest of the...

Our family of four stayed in this hotel for three nights.|The rooms were made everyday and towels changed as well.|Reception being a first touch-point served more like a gate-keeper function. Staff understood English but could not be bothered helping when asked for a local map where we were asked to go to a tourist info centre.|Same thing for hot water where we did not notice the breakfast room location, which is run separately.|The guy at reception gave the impression that he was doing forced-labour in this customer service role. |The hotel is located equi-distance between Userà, turn right and first street right, Legazpi, turn right and straight and Amendrales, cross the street, then turn next left to walk to the respective metro stations taking around a 10-minute walk to either of one.|Bus stops are located a metres towards Userà way but took some time to reach the city centre.|Metro was no way different as both three stations were part of the city loop, where connections needed to be made.|If you choose this area it is important to note that buses don't allow passengers with suitcases on board. |Metro stations are not that user-accessible either, as luggage should be carried along staircases even elevators were available but to a certain extent with long distance line ...

Beds are quite comfortable, that's a plus and mainly what you're looking for, reception and workers are friendly and helpful.||The location of the hotel is a nice and secure sector, which has very good options of transport: there's a bus stop right in front of the hotel's entrance, also there are other stops nearby as well as an access to the metro station and it's quite easy to pick a taxi; there are restaurants and good stores literally on the same street and a shopping mall a few blocks from the hotel.||On the not so good stuff, unfortunately there are not few things to mention, for example: Wi-Fi encryption is not secure, it's not updated to more secure standards so better buy a data plan and use it or be sure you have data roaming activated.||The entrance is poorly accessible, the counter is at the second floor so if you're carrying heavy bags you'll have to lift them through the stairs.||Despite smoking it's forbidden, the hallways smell strongly of cigarettes.||And the towels smell weird, a combination of cigarette and stored long time ago, better use yours instead.||There's better options than this one for the same price in Madrid, hate to do this but I hope the hotel use...
