Madrid Hoteller i Alameda de Osuna

Stayed here July, 14, 09. Great hotel, excellent buffet breakfast. Very high tech brand new hotel. Some reviews I'd read said it was "cold feeling" and noisy. I found neither to be the case. Slot of glass & chrome can seem a bit cold to some people but I enjoyed the modern design. It is obvious they spend a huge amount on the interior design. I really liked the hard wood floors in the room. A very clean feeling as compared to hotel carpet. The room was absolutely spotlessly clean. With all the glass the maids must have to work very hard to get it all spotless & streakless. The desk staff were very pleasant and helpful planning our short td in Madrid. Only complaint is the "free airport shuttle" only runs 7 to 11 am and 7 to 11 p The "free airport shuttle" only runs 7 - 11 am and 7-11 pm. That's not how the free shuttle is advertsed. We had to take a taxi upon arrival at 4:30 pm for acost of 27 Euros. But did get the free shuttle back to the airport the next day as it was within their time slot. You need to sing up for the shuttle ahead of time to make sure you get on it. About a 20 minute trip to the airport so if you are running tight and miss the shuttle itaynot be back for some time. Took several taxis to the hotel all had trouble finding it as it is off the beaten path . Had to use our cell phone to call the hotel so they could direct the drivers. Be sure to take their business card so you can give to the driver & call if necessary. But it is worth it
