We loved the Sunotel Central. It was in a fabulous location within easy walking distance of all the sights in Madrid. The room was clean and of a good size and the only thing it was missing was hair conditioner. The staff was great and went above and beyond. I highly recommend.

Stay away from room 206, it’s the smallest in the entire hotel. As if you were staying in a ship. Also there are paper fish in the hotel, saw several crawling on the floor in both rooms we stayed in.

Would highly recommend! Faultless stay!

This hotel is it! Visiting in November and having access to the rooftop pool and hot tub was a great perk of the hotel aswell as the many other perks of the hotel such as being able to borrow a bicycle. All of the facilities were clean and all of the staff members I spoke to were friendly and helpful. I would revisit in a heartbeat, and I am actually already planning to do so next year with my girlfriend! I'm surprised the hotel's ratings are not much higher as it was faultless. From what I read online it seems that the hotel was refurbed somewhat recently so perhaps this could be related.

We booked economy apparently and the room was quite dark as the windows were facing a light well. Other than that, the hotel offered good access to tourist attractions , clean rooms and a nice terrace with a pool that we did not use as the weather was not on our side.

Central, convenient & practical.

Central, convenient & practical. Front desk couldn't have been more friendly and welcoming. Extremely helpful staff everywhere. Pool area is impressive, if a little small. Room was spacious and comfortable. Wooden floors mean they get a little dusty / crumb-y easily. Not completely silent, but not disruptive to sleep. I would stay here again!

Das Personal war super freundlich und auch das Zimmer für einen Städtetrip super ausreichend. In der Nähe gibt es alles was man braucht und hat in jede Richtung in circa 5 Minuten eine Metrostation. Der Pool auf dem Dach ist für eine kurze Abkühlung auch gut nutzbar. Für den ganzen Tag aber zu klein bzw. sind die Liegen auch zu unbequem. Das Frühstück ist jeden Tag identisch aber von allem was dabei. Als Fazit: für ein Städtetrip ein sehr gutes Hotel.
