Ibis Styles Madrid Centro Maravillas

I had two separate stays here over a two week span. Here are my comments based on my personal experience. Good: Nice staff Great location, easy walking to shops, Metro and attractions Modern and clean rooms and bathrooms Good internet Good shower water pressure and hardware Good hairdryer Good lighting Bad: Street noise. Even on the top floor, street noise is an issue. From noisy pedestrians to emergency sirens, good sleep was a challenge for a lighter sleeper. Thermostat/room temperature. You cannot lower the thermostat below 23 C. I think my rooms were warmer than that, I was hot for much of my stay. I need a cool climate for a decent sleep. Shower does not have a shelf to put your stuff. This is easy and cheap to fix. Back of bathroom door needs a hook. One of my rooms did not having a working door bolt. That’s a safety problem. Doors don’t have peep hole. I noticed this at other hotels in Spain. This is also a safety defect. One day there was no hot water. Random tip: the elevator from the street entrance is the kind that requires you to pull open the glass door. I didn’t realize that when I first arrived and thought it was broken, I had to drag my stuff up the stairs. Also, you have to hold a button for the duration of your journey up or down, just a funny quirk.
