7 Islas Hotel
Wonderful hotel. The room was clean, comfortable, and stylish. The bathroom included a great selection of soaps and hair products. Breakfast was delicious and included! Good proximity to the center of Madrid and numerous restaurants, bars, and attractions were within walking distance.
The breakfast that was included was amazing!
We liked this hotel a lot- lovely rooms, spacious and well furnished. Its located on a side street but still extremely accessible to major streets. As a result, our rooms were blissfully quiet.
Loved 7 Islas Hotel. It's in a location that is easy to walk around and lots of fun tapas restaurants. They gave us great recommendations for places to eat and would call ahead for reservations for us. This place has little clutter and minimalist which was perfect for us. The downstairs bar had fantastic drink and our bartender who works all the time was so kind to us. If you have a chance, try the apple crumble dessert with a cappuccino (so yummy).
We loved the location and modern design of this boutique hotel off one of the main streets in Madrid. The breakfast options were fantastic!
Overview
Pros
- You'll feel like a local in this super-cool and artsy space right in the heart of Malasaña, a vibrant, hip neighborhood.
- The lobby doubles as an art gallery, and Kikekeller's studio designed the hotel and its rooms.
- The hotel's charming dining area is where you'll enjoy breakfast, complete with a serene staircase overflowing with plants and a fountain.
- The lobby houses a small craft cocktail and gastro bar open for all meals.
- To help you experience the city like a visitor (rather than a tourist), the hotel provides a neighborhood guide with some of the best locally owned shops and eateries.
- The penthouse room has its own private terrace.
- The hotel's minimalist, industrial feel might not appeal to everyone.
Kimkim's Take
Authenticity
7 Islas doubles as an art gallery, as you'll find exhibitions on the ground floor and rooms designed by the local Kikekeller's studio. As a result, you get a blend of trendy modern art and serene spaces. And if you've ever been to the Canary Islands, you might notice some island inspiration, as the family that owns the hotel is from Lanzarote.Location
You'll find 7 Islas in the hip Malasaña district, a historic neighborhood with locally owned coffee shops, vintage clothing stores, artisan shops, bakeries, tapas bars, and restaurants. Since the hotel is only two blocks from Gran Vía, you can easily stroll to famous sites, such as the Royal Palace, Puerta del Sol, and El Retiro Park.Rooms & Bathrooms
Overall, the rooms have a relaxed, calming vibe, mixing light wood and bright whites with the occasional dark furnishing or decor. Bathrooms are clean and spacious with amenities from the natural brand Malin + Goetz. The standard option (called Easy Rooms) is a bit small, so upgrade to a deluxe room for more space. Or, you can opt for the penthouse room, which features a private terrace with sun loungers.Other Highlights
You'll enjoy a breakfast buffet in the downstairs dining area, which you'll reach via a leafy staircase complete with a fountain. There's plenty of space in the lobby to relax and peruse the art or sip a cocktail around the indoor fire pits. And when you need a snack or drink, head to the lobby bar.

Creative design and very helpful staff. Outside room with light but noisy at night since the Spaniards eat fro 10pm - 1am it seems and then hang out in the street. Read more
