This is a very cool, stylish hotel, in a great location, and very good value. 7 Islas is just off Gran Via, which is a very good location, although we were pretty unimpressed by Gran Via itself. It is a very cool, immaculately decorated space, with some nice art. Our room was the perfect size, and gave a great feeling of calm space. Bathroom was nice size, with good lighting for makeup etc. Beds were very comfortable and, joy of joy, the windows opened, to allow fresh air in. Breakfast is pretty good, and young Guillermo makes some great cocktails. Reception staff are great, and seriously helpful. The only mild irritation was only one working lift, so, at busy times, one could wait 5-10 minutes. It had everything we wanted. Food is limited, but there are some excellent restaurants nearby.
