ibis Madrid Centro Las Ventas

We booked this hotel as it was reasonably priced and within easy walking distance of the Wizink Centre where we were attending a concert. We knew beforehand that it was a budget hotel but we found it to be very good value for money. The staff were friendly and approachable. The hotel was very clean and is situated over the road from a metro stop (las Ventas) which made it easy to get to the centre. The continental breakfast was adequate but they could really do with 2 toasters as some people were hogging the one old toaster that took ages to do its job! We did not eat at any of the restaurants in the immediate area as there did not seem to be a great choice. To sum up this hotel is a good choice for a couple of days away,

The room was not clean when we arrived, the nightstands and the area under the bed were filthy with hair and crumbs. The sheets werent changed during our 6 night stay. The lighting was terrible, our room faced some kind of alley/corridor. We could not properly open the window and couldnt let fresh air in. There were only 2 outlets, we couldnt charge our devices only in turns. There was no fridge. The towels were in really bad condition, didnt smell good. Breakfast was average, however the staff was really nice and helpful.

I’m giving this 4 stars, since it’s only a 2-star hotel. I’ve had 4-star hotels that only deserved 2 stars, so… It was a last-minute stop I had to make in Madrid and on such short notice I took whatever was available in the area. My room came with a nice balcony. Although the balcony wasn’t very clean, it’s still enjoyable when it’s still at least 21 degrees outside at 2 am. Breakfast is simple, but good. Bathroom has a nice size with a good shower. The only “disadvantage” is that there is no minibar in the room. But the bar at the reception area is open 24/7, so you can pick up what you need there. Staff were all very friendly. Only a short drive away from the airport too. Just watch out with the airco. It blows cold air right onto the bed, so not always that good for everyone.

Nie mamy żadnych zastrzeżeń poza brakiem światła słonecznego - okno wychodziło w zasadzie na studnię.

BARDZO UDANY POBYT.
