Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Request an interior room if you are a light sleeper, as street-facing rooms and rooms near the lift can have noise from the street or other guests.

  • 02

    Use the free luggage storage if you arrive before check-in or have a late departure, but note that bags must be collected by 22:00.

  • 03

    Book a taxi or the paid airport shuttle directly from the property for a fixed-fee transfer to Barajas Airport (approx. 30-45€).

  • 04

    Choose a premium or larger room category for a more comfortable experience, as standard rooms can be very compact.
