IBIS BUDGET MADRID ALBASANZ, Madrid

The property sits in a quiet, residential area of Madrid, within a 10-minute uphill walk from Suanzes Metro station on Line 5. This line connects directly to the city centre at Gran Via and Puerta del Sol, though the journey takes approximately 20-25 minutes. The hotel is about 4 km from Madrid-Barajas Airport; a taxi ride costs roughly €15-€30 depending on the time of day. Free street parking is available on surrounding roads, and on-site paid parking (€12/day) must be reserved. Several bars, cafes, and restaurants are within a 5-minute walk, making it easy to find evening dining without travelling to the centre. The location is well suited for visits to IFEMA (4 km) and the Clínica Universidad de Navarra (20 minutes on foot).

All rooms feature air conditioning, soundproof walls, a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, a work desk, and a private bathroom with a walk-in shower and hairdryer. Room types available include single, double, twin, and triple (the triple has 2 beds). The rooms are designed as compact, functional spaces typical of a budget property. Road-facing rooms and those on the ground floor may experience noise from corridor doors and footsteps; rooms on upper floors or away from the main corridor are quieter. The walk-in showers are consistently praised for their great water pressure and generous size, but the rooms lack a wardrobe, minibar, and a hairdryer (one towel per person is standard). A limited number of hangers are provided in an open recess. The blackout curtains and effective air conditioning help create a calm sleeping environment, especially in warm weather.

Breakfast is served from 06:30 as a continental buffet including fresh pastries, bread, cheese, fruit, cereals, eggs, yogurt, juice, and coffee from an automatic machine. Vegan and gluten-free options are available. The breakfast area is small and doubles as the reception lobby, which can feel cramped during peak times. For those who prefer a lighter or more varied start, several cafes and bars are within a short walk. The hotel also has a snack bar with vending machines offering drinks and snacks, and free coffee is available in the lounge throughout the day. Additional restaurants are located within a 5-minute walk, including Jaizkbel, Restaurante AKI T'Spero, and Guanabara By El Rodizio.

The outdoor terrace provides a calm space for guests to sit, read, or use the free Wi-Fi. Located in a quiet residential neighbourhood, the area itself is suitable for a leisurely evening walk. The hotel does not offer a pool, spa, or gym. For leisure beyond the hotel, the Suanzes Metro station gives direct access to central Madrid, including El Retiro Park (approximately 7 km away) and other city attractions.

The hotel offers free WiFi throughout the property, a 24-hour front desk, and a shared lounge with a TV and free coffee all day. Luggage storage is available for an additional charge, with a numbered ticket system for security. A locker room is also provided for secure storage. The property is wheelchair accessible, with an emergency cord in the bathroom, a lower sink, a raised toilet, grab rails, and a passenger lift. Electric vehicle charging is available on site. The hotel has CCTV in common areas and outside, key card access, fire extinguishers and smoke alarms. Daily cleaning is standard; if specific times are inconvenient, it is recommended to inform reception.
