ibis budget Madrid Centro Lavapies 1 star

My room was nice. Comfortable bed, great shower and it was cleaned everyday. It is a budget hotel, so it's nothing fancy, but I knew what I was paying for. My room looked out over a closed patio so I looked out onto three big walls and didn't get much direct light. That was a pity, but on the upside it was quiet and private. During my last night the receptionist burned something in the kitchen at 3 am, setting off the fire-alarm and waking up the entire hotel! In hindsight they should have offered some kind of compensation, because that's of course terribly unprofessional and unacceptable and it really messed up my night's sleep. Lavapies is a lovely neighbourhood to stay in and at walking distance to all the great sights.

The stay was very good. The room had two issues, that needed a repair: 1. one of the protection wooden boards on the floor was missing, so we could look inside the wall, see some cables,... 2. the roll on curtain was not working, so we could not lift it more than 10cm, we needed the lights on all the time (in 4 days nobody bothered to repair)

Hotel staff was friendly and always helpful.

Near the metro station and supermarket Nice staff Clean room

we liked it and enjoyed it very much Rooms are wonderful, nice, clean and tidy. I like the modern distribution and decoration. Staff are professional and kind. Location is great Only thing I think you could improve is putting some silicone or something under the shower door so the water won't be able to leak through.

The room was so tiny and cheap, all bad quality , not a proper dor in the wc, therefore you enjoy noises etc from your partner, no a botlee of water or glases to drink from the tap, only one thin bad quality pillow, etc, etc, etc for 105€......a thivery

Great! Stayed in a few Ibis Budget hotels, but this was easily the best. Equal to any normal Ibis hotel. Friendly welcome and helpful staff. Small but spotlessly clean room with hot shower and heating (It gets cold in Madrid in January!) An English language TV channel would be nice (CNN or Sky News perhaps) but that's a very minor point. Would definitely stay here again, but would make sure I had a room facing rear courtyard as street outside might be noisy being opposite the theatre.

Location of hotel is OK, very close to the Atocha station. Hotel has been recently refurbished

Exactly what was needed

Very pleasant. Easy to find and get around.

The hotel is clean, well located and the staff are friendly.

Pleasant staff, maid great, location good. Worst ibis or ibis budget breakfast of any hotel I’ve stayed in!

Very close to Lavapiès Metro, with a 24-hour supermarket pretty much next door, this hotel is convenient for getting to sights. Nice breakfast, but the room can get very crowded by 9am. Shame the outdoor area was undergoing improvements - might have been good to know in advance, Probably not the hotel tho choose if you like drawers and hanging space with more than two hangers. Also, you need arms like a gorilla to insert your keycard in the slot that turns on the electricity., while holding the door open to get enough light! Staff are very pleasant and helpful.

The location was fantastic, which meant that we were able to walk to a lot a places with our young children. There are plenty of places to eat nearby, and whenever it didn’t suit us to eat out we went to the well stocked supermarket next door to get something to eat. All the staff that we encountered were very helpful and friendly and the rooms clean and just what we needed for this trip.

Great location, clean room and friendly staff
