NH Madrid Atocha

We picked the hotel for it's location to the railway station and to be precise it could only have been closer if it was within the station itself! Lots of eateries and bars close by and the room was as we were told before booking. Staff were very helpful even allowing me to call home to Australia at no charge due to a potential credit card failure!

We took a night flight and arrived in Madrid early in the morning. Took the train from the airport direct to Atocha Station in about 30 minutes then walked across the street and arrived at the hotel in less than 5 minutes. The staff at the reception was very helpful and let us check in the room early so that we can rest for some time before starting to explore the city. Room is small but comfortable and had almost everything we need including slippers, coffee machine, electric kettle.

The location was excellent. Right next to Atocha train station. They had a tub! The room was small but it had everything you need! The staff was kind enough to keep our stroller in their holding/storing luggage area so we didn’t have to deal with bringing our stroller up and down.

Excellent location, right across the main Atocha train station, perfect for connections to Andalusia. We opted to stay overnight after our long haul flight before we caught our train to Cordoba the following day. Friendly welcome from the staff. Our room on Level 5 was comfortable, it overlooked the road and had a big window facing the station but we heard no traffic noise whatsoever. Very effective block out curtains meant we had a restful sleep. Free wifi and good water supply, just what we needed. The National anthropological museum was right next door so we popped in to pass the time before dinner then walked to the other side of the station to grab quick bite at a cafe on C. Delicias. Too easy! Breakfast at the hotel the next morning was typical hotel spread: lots of choices of fresh fruit, pastries, cheeses and cold meat. Ample and satisfying. This is a great stopover hotel for easy train connections in Spain. Highly recommended for first timers.

Chosen for its proximity to Atocha station. Although the room was on the small side (not unusual for city centre) it did not lack the extra touches such as full range of toiletries and the first place on a 3 week trip to provide tissues. Loved the chocolate on arrival and the Parma violets. Good breakfast and always fresh drinking water in the lobby. And last but not least - luggage storage.
