Eurostars Gran Madrid

I stayed here for over half a month. Most of the time, the hotel price was quite good value for money, but occasionally for a day or two, it shot up to 2000 RMB. I couldn't figure out why, maybe it was during the World Cup finals? But this is the suburbs, after all.

The hotel is a 15-minute drive from MAD airport and a 25-minute drive from the Royal Palace of Madrid. It's located in a residential area, just a 3-minute walk to the large Bird supermarket and a 1-minute walk to La Vega Garden. The breakfast was fresh and delicious, especially the cheese which melted in my mouth. The churros were also freshly fried and absolutely amazing. I would definitely choose this hotel again next time.

This hotel is excellent in every aspect, except for its location. Madrid's Metro Line 10 recently changed its route and will remain that way until the end of 2026. If you're staying here, there's a specific stop where everyone has to get off and transfer to another section of Line 10 that specifically serves the northern suburbs. This could be a bit troublesome for first-time visitors to Madrid who aren't familiar with Spanish. It takes at least 2-3 rides to understand the transfer process, especially when heading towards the city center. Plus, this suburban section isn't covered by the 10-trip travel card, requiring an additional €1.50 for a single ride. **Cleanliness:** I stayed in a king room, and it was great. The room was spacious and well-lit! Very good indeed! **Location:** The bus stop right outside the hotel isn't covered by the 10-trip card; this area seems to be in the suburbs. Also, if it's sunny, there isn't much shade from buildings or trees right outside. It's close to the metro station. Outside the window, there's a pleasant garden and river view. There are also some gas station convenience stores and a rural-style restaurant that looked decent. There are plenty of options for food delivery in the area. **Service:** The male front desk staff member who checked us in during the early hours of our arrival was exceptionally friendly! Please give him a bonus, haha. He was incredibly enthusiastic, attentive, not 'mean' at all, and even helped us collect our food delivery. Thank you. Oh, and one more thing: the bed in the king room is huge, big enough for three people without feeling cramped.🤣🤣

The hotel is about a 30-minute drive from downtown Madrid and 15 kilometers from the airport. We chose it as the last stop on our 14-day self-drive tour of Spain and Portugal. The hotel was clean and tidy, and the front desk staff were warm and attentive. We had to leave at 3 AM the next morning to catch our flight, and thankfully the hotel staff helped us call a taxi. The Uber driver we had pre-booked was completely unreliable and kept changing his arrival time. The hotel has an underground parking lot for 10 euros a night. Many people parked their cars on the street across from the hotel entrance for free. For rooms facing the road, the traffic noise at night can be quite loud since it's a main thoroughfare to and from the suburban satellite towns. Other than that, everything else was good.

The location is good, with plenty of greenery around and a supermarket nearby. However, the bathroom is inconvenient to use.
