Location! First time to stay out of downtown Madrid and this was great idea. Hotel offer free airport shuttle service which was excellent. From the hotel you can walk (0.5miles) to Terminal 3/Barajas, and from there you can catch the Express Bus to the city(freq/each 15min). The price is 5 euro and takes 30-40min, 2 stops in downtown, Plaza de Cibeles and Atocha. Metro Station Barajas is just 5minutes walk, so you have the option to take the Metro too, but personally I liked the direct Express Bus option. You have plenty of great restaurant around the hotel, all walking distance. Breakfast: "La General", it's a bakery/restaurant, 2eggs+Bacon+basket of homemade bread 4.95 euro (the best bacon!), or have churro for breakfast at "Churreria Chocolateria El Artesano desde 1983" 2chocolatadas+1plate of churro 4euro, in the supermarket Hiber in front of the churreria you can get a very nice croissant, 3 for 1.50 euro. Kathmandu Tandoori House considered the best indican food in Madrid is just 5 minute walk, but we did not have chance to eat there. Hotel staff was very kind and helpful. I wanted hot water for my tea and they let me use their electric kettle during my stay.

Location. Free airport shuttle bus.

Shuttle to airport!

No always nice and close to airport.

Very clean, and very close to the airport.

The walls were a little things. Heard a few things I would have preferred not to.
