Review Arosa Hotel Madrid (Best Western)

Reservation Information For The Best Western Arosa Hotel Madrid

The Best Western Hotel Arosa Madrid is a quirky hotel with interesting décor. It was refurbished in 2002, and now offers the theme of red and cream zebra-like patterned chairs in the entrance hall!

The main reception is on the 2nd floor, but there is a porter present at the entry door to assist with baggage or flagging down taxis.

The hotel has a kitsch feel, and the staff are friendly and helpful. Just past reception is the café – bar (part of which is no-smoking). This makes for a relaxing place to read or get out your laptop.

Hotel Location And Facilities

The Arosa Hotel Madrid is on a side street off Gran Via. It is set back from the hustle and bustle of the main road, but you can walk onto Gran Via in 30 seconds. You’ll see, as you emerge from the street of the hotel, that there are ample coffee bars, shops and restaurants within 2 minutes walk. On the opposite side of Gran Via you’ll see Starbucks where you can get a huge array of coffee’s and sandwiches and muffins. Gran Via also has plenty of cashpoints, and is a great place to find a good theatre show.

Right next to the hotel is a Sushi bar.

How To Get From The Airport To The Hotel

Via Taxi: A taxi from the airport should take about 30 minutes and cost 22 to 25 euros (including airport supplement), depending on traffic conditions and assuming there is no excess baggage (that all baggage fits inside the boot and interior of the taxi).

Via Metro: You can take various metro routes directly from the airport to arrive at Gran Via metro near the Arosa Hotel Madrid. Line number 8 leaves from inside the airport between terminals 1 and 2. I’ve given the quickest route below with the stations where you need to change listed:

Metro: Nuevos Ministerios (Pink Line, L8) Then change and head for Alonso Martinez (Dark Blue Line, L10) Then change and head for Gran Via (Green Line, L5).

Via Bus: You can take a red EMT public bus from the airport to Avenida America. The number bus that takes this route is the 115. From there it’s quicker to change to the metro.
