Sleep'n Atocha

A nice place to rest your head.

Ventajas: Clean, minimalist, great location. A short walk to Atocha and the three art museums, plus a 5 Euro shuttle to/from the airport. Also just around the corner from a metro stop. Yet, it is one building off of the main road and I never had noise as a problem. Climate control was nice, once you figure out how to work it. Everything electrical is driven by putting your key in the receptacle. Once you can turn the lights on, you have to manually turn on the AC.

Desventajas: I'm 6 feet tall. The single bed in the single room was jammed between two walls. I woke up a few times in the night from whacking my feet against the wall. The old joke that there wasn't enough room to change your mind comes to mind.

Ventajas: The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was cute and clean and had all the necessary amenities. Simple, but sufficient. The location is so convenient to everything in Madrid!

Desventajas: There was no AC but the fan was loud, so that made it a bit difficult to sleep in the hot weather at the beginning of September, although I can't imagine that's a problem most of the year. Also it would not be very accessible to anyone in a wheelchair, because although there is an elevator, there are still six or eight steps down to the hallway from where the elevator was located, at least on my floor.

Ventajas: Hotel is conveniently located close to the Atocha trains station. Easy access to Madrid's metro system, just around the corner. Several restaurants, coffee shops and convenience stores in the surrounding area. Great place to go and re-charge for the next day...................

Ventajas: El personal era amable y servicial. La habitación era bonita y limpia y tenía todas las comodidades necesarias. Simple, pero suficiente. La ubicación es muy conveniente para todo en Madrid!

Desventajas: No hay aire acondicionado, pero el ventilador era muy ruidoso, así que hizo un poco difícil dormir en el calor al principio de septiembre, aunque eso sí, no puedo imaginar que es un problema todo el año. Además, no sería muy accesible para cualquiera que esté en una silla de ruedas, porque aunque hay un ascensor, todavía hay seis u ocho escalones hacia el pasillo desde donde el ascensor estaba ubicado, al menos en mi piso.
