Staying at 60 Balconies Art in Madrid was an absolute delight. The apartment is incredibly well-equipped—complete with a washer, dishwasher, oven, full set of kitchenware, and even a proper espresso machine that makes café-quality coffee. The spacious living area is perfect for relaxing, and the smart TV offers seamless access to Netflix and YouTube, so there's never a dull moment. But the real highlight? The view from the window. Watching the sunset over Madrid’s train station is simply breathtaking—it feels like you're right in the heart of the city’s pulse. Right downstairs on the right side is a tiny gem called 100 Montaditos—a super affordable tapas bar that I’d highly recommend. There are plenty of other great restaurants nearby, and the train station is just steps away. Easy access to everything, unbeatable location, and incredible value. I’ll definitely be booking here again on my next trip to Madrid.
Check-in was incredibly smooth thanks to the smart, tech-driven system—no stress at all. Even when I forgot my key card late at night, the machine automatically issued a replacement, which was such a relief. Since we were traveling with kids, having a kitchen was a game-changer: we could cook meals and do laundry on-site, which made our extended stay so much more comfortable. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed—pots, pans, cutlery, you name it—so the kids could even make their own noodles, which they loved. The room itself is spacious and well-designed, with two bathrooms and a lovely balcony that offered great views of the city. It’s rare to find such a practical yet stylish apartment in Madrid, especially with this level of convenience and comfort. Highly recommend for families or travelers who want independence and home-like ease.
This hotel is absolutely fantastic! The room was spacious, beautifully designed, and the location is unbeatable—right next to a Michelin-starred restaurant, just steps from the Four Seasons, and within minutes of Madrid's bustling city center. I was at Puerta del Sol in under 5 minutes, and there are three Carrefour supermarkets nearby (the City one is the biggest). The underground parking made drop-offs and pickups super easy for my driver. Daily housekeeping, dishwasher, washer with dryer—so convenient! The small balcony is perfect for a quiet drink at sunset. There’s a McDonald’s right downstairs, and just a short 6–8 minute walk away are two standout dining options: Chao Tian Men Hotpot and a Korean BBQ buffet that blew me away. Everything is so well-connected and thoughtfully placed. This is more than just a place to stay—it’s a great base for exploring Madrid. I’d definitely come back.
The Ilunion Pio XII hotel offers a clean, well-maintained environment and a solid breakfast selection—both are definitely highlights. That said, the location is quite far from the city center and main attractions. If you're only staying for one or two nights, it might be better to choose a place closer to the action. The good news? Bus line 150 stops right outside the hotel and goes directly to Puerta del Sol with no transfers, making public transit a convenient option. Just keep in mind that taxis in Madrid are extremely expensive—my ride from the hotel to the city center cost over €30, which isn’t ideal for short stays. Overall, this hotel works better for longer visits when you’re looking to save on transport costs and don’t mind a bit of distance. For travelers prioritizing convenience and budget, especially those planning to explore on foot or by bus, this place offers great value.
