Bright Luxurious - 1BD 2BTH - AtochaRetiro

Super emplacement, juste en face d'un beau bâtiment ministériel et à 2 minutes d'une des entrées du fameux parc du Retiro. Appartement moderne, on s'y sent en sécurité. Beau matériel en général. Le lit double est très comfortable. Personnel réactif. Early check in apprécié.

Malheureusement très mal isolé, que ce soit les voisins du haut - on s'est réveillé en même temps qu'eux chaque matin à 6 heures... ainsi que les bruits de la rue, elle est courte mais très passante, bref on entend tout. Prenez des boules quies si vous souhaitez dormir tranquille. Le fauteuil du salon peu confortable. Pour dormir convient à un enfant.

Absolutely loved this apartment. It’s bright, spacious, spotless, and in a top location, right next to Retiro Park and Atocha station. You can walk everywhere, public transport /grabbing a taxi is effortless, and yet the apartment sits on a quiet little lane where nights are blissfully silent. The big windows give loads of natural light and the bed is dangerously comfortable. The kind that makes you question your life choices when the alarm goes off. The apartment is super well equipped (incl. washing machine detergent, dishwasher tabs, all those small things that make a stay feel easy. The management company is professional, responsive, and genuinely pleasant to deal with. They were flexible and kindly arranged an early check-in for us, which made a huge difference. And Silvia, who welcomed us, is an absolute gem: warm, helpful, and clearly someone who cares that you have a great stay. Would 100% stay here again!

Lokatie en de sfeer van de accomodatie.

Alles was goed!

The apartment is large and convenient. The kitchen is fully stocked: tableware, small equipment, etc. Everything is clean and works well. Air conditions work fine. Bathrooms are clean and have even an electronic scale (not working showing low battery). One bathroom is tiny, suitable only for a child, but it helps nevertheless. The location is perfect: in the very centre yet relatively quiet street, 10 min walk to Prado. Very convenient. Why it is not 10 then? See the next section.

Everything would be perfect if the company did not demonstrate… hm-m… let us call it unreasonable frugality. We travel from 3 to 5 months a year and get used to having enough consumables in the apartments we rent. Here, we were given rather scarce amount of everything: one dishwasher liquid, one washing machine detergent, one garbage bag, one tiny piece of soap, etc. Oh, yeah, and zero paper towels or napkins. It is probably OK for two-three nights stay, but we stayed here for 11 nights. When we asked the company for more consumables, we got firm “no”. What a traveller is supposed to do? Go buy toilet paper and garbage bags? But they are sold in large numbers. I will use a few, but what do I do with the rest? A simple situation: if one bathroom is occupied, I can use second bathroom. But my only towel is in the first one! What am I supposed to do? Did anyone think about practicality of staying in the apartment they offer? C’mon, guys, you save a few cents, but cause obvious reputational damage!
