Barcelo Torre Arias, Madrid

stayed there last weekend (4/4/08)for 3 nights..firstly they let us check in at 10am which was handy. beds are massive and rooms ultra comfortable. situated 10mins taxi ride from madrid city centre which suited us well as taxi was only 10euro between 4. gym small but well equped....mini bar not over priced and breakfast was excellent value as standard is brilliant. staff were welcoming apart from the security at night but you could understand this. we kept our room for an extra charge of 40euro because out flight was late evening but again we found this reasonable as other places dont offer this. would reccomend to anyone looking for a modern ,pretty funky yet relaxed atmosphere.
