Top Literary Quarter Hotel Reviews

Hotel101- Madrid

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. The AC worked great and the staff was friendly. The proximity to the airport is a plus for a quick layover or a short trip, however the airport shuttle service is horrible. The bus departs only once every hour and because of that the line gets long before the next trip and the bus can only hold 20 people and may have to leave some people behind. And to make matters worse, the bus only picks up from terminal 4. That means that if you are at terminal 1, you have to catch a 20 min free city bus to get to terminal 4 and wait there although it drops at every terminal"
