HOTEL101 - MADRID, Madrid

The hotel is 4 km from Adolfo Suarez Madrid-Barajas Airport and 3 km from IFEMA, making it convenient for trade fairs and events. Santiago Bernabéu Stadium is 9 km away and El Retiro Park 13 km. The nearest metro station is Valdebebas, a 5-minute walk, providing a one-stop connection to the airport and a 30+ minute train ride to central Madrid (Sol). The area is currently undergoing construction, giving a quiet, somewhat isolated feel; a supermarket is adjacent. Free on-site parking is a major advantage for car travelers. Taxis from the airport cost around 8-15 EUR.

Rooms are designed for practicality with a work desk, sofa, and wardrobe. Connecting interior doors between adjacent rooms exist, which can allow sound from neighboring units. Some rooms have a small kitchenette with a microwave and fridge. Beds are described as comfortable by many, but some find the mattresses very soft. The sealed windows mean the air conditioning is the only ventilation source; this can lead to stuffiness or chemical smells in certain rooms. Rooms near elevators or on low floors may experience more hallway noise. A heated toilet seat (washlet) is an appreciated feature. Daily housekeeping is included.

The hotel's restaurant, HBNB Kitchen, serves breakfast (06:30-10:30/11:00), lunch, and dinner. Breakfast is a buffet including bread, pastries, eggs, Spanish omelette, cold cuts, yogurt, and a coffee machine. During busy periods, refilling of items and coffee machine queues can cause delays. The restaurant's evening service can be slow and has a limited menu at times; the bar stock is also limited. For a full evening meal, it's advisable to arrive early or be prepared for potential waiting times. A vending machine for snacks and drinks is available in the lobby.

Two outdoor pools - one general and one for children - are open seasonally (typically from May). They are a highlight during warmer months, but sun loungers can be limited. A free fitness centre is available 24/7 with modern equipment. The hotel also has a garden and a children's playground. The pool bar is open during pool season but can be understocked. The free fitness centre is a usable facility for a workout while away from home.

This hotel offers free WiFi in all areas and free private parking (no reservation required). The free airport shuttle runs regularly to/from the airport, usually a 10-15 minute ride. Luggage storage is free for early arrivals or late departures. A lift serves all floors, and the property is wheelchair accessible. Business services (meeting rooms, business centre) are available for an additional charge. A 24-hour front desk, express check-in/out, and safety deposit boxes are provided. No pets are allowed on site.
