Hotel101- Madrid

10/10 Excellent
"Hotel101 is amazing. What a great experience! The staff were all awesome. We had just arrived from two long flights and they let us in a little before check-in time. The room was super quiet, and had everything we needed. The breakfast was a tad expensive, but was really nice nonthelu. The only downside to our stay, and no direct fault of Hotel101, was the washing machine did not actually wash our clothes. It literally just took the money and did nothing. I would gladly stay at Hotel101 Madrid again!"
