50 years and memories of Spain

Spain | Sep 25 - Oct 7, 2023

We loved the private location off of the street. You fall into a backyard paradise with the outdoor covered breakfast space viewing and listening to the fountain/pool and accompanied with lounging furniture. But the breakfast was so outstanding with eggs made to order and the cappuccino, perfect. The waitstaff was like a 5 star restaurant. Christina, Aveleno at the reception desk always smile and accommodating. But our last night surprise was we decided to just have our dinner meal at the hotel for convenience. WOW! This was our Best meal. The food flavors, presentation, our waiter. It was a 5-star food experience and should Not be overlooked as one of your choices in Madrid

Fabulous fabulous fabulous! Beautiful sophisticated immaculate again Boutique with flair. Everyone at the reception desk, Thomas, Rosarioetc and then the breakfast staff just outstanding and there to make your moment better.

The location was fine but it is a very busy busy intersection that wasn’t our favorite choice. But taxi stand one block away made it perfect for sightseeing and restaurants. The room was dark and the buffet was not at the same level as other hotels. The coffee and cappuccino was just inferior but still didn’t buy Starbucks.

We loved the location but we kept getting lost since the Jewish Quarter is made up of the smallest streets and maze network for both automobiles and people. But the charm the ancient architecture was stimulating. The hotel had an arched gateway with chairs/tables/flowers that you could just sit and people watch. But two other interior spaces were only for guests and they are the gems of the hotel. One, (which we didn’t know) was the smoking area. Beautiful but sorry was smoking space. The other much larger and felt Moorish architecture with Vasquez bigger than life on the walls but perfect for a glass of wine with tapas before dinner.

We loved the three locations that our English/Spanish guide had chosen. He built upon each location and food/wine experience and we talked a lot about the Spanish style.

Every room was special in the design and purpose that it was used during the King and Queen. The story behind how it changed as the leadership changed and what they did with the space.

High end performance and so professional done. Our guide said that these where the best of the best that we had seen and very special to hear castinates being played.

I felt that the length of this journey was not up to the advertising of what it offered. The wine sherry was very disappointing because it felt like it lacked any atmosphere where it was abd the speech was very non emotional, too much remote like speech. The sherry was just OK also. Then Cadiz was nothing to do or visit. Just a beach with people. The best part was with our guide where she choose a great beach restaurant away from Cadiz. We watched the wind surfers but the food selection was great along with plenty of wine
