Review Coloso Hotel Madrid

The Coloso Hotel Madrid is in a quiet street just 5 minutes walk from the Plaza España, where you can see some of modern Madrid’s most impressive, and tall buildings. The skyscraper nicknamed ‘the giraffe’ is visible at the end of the street where the Coloso Hotel is situated.

The Coloso Hotel Madrid has a 1970’s appearance from the outside, but inside it is very sleek and modern. The reception area is spacious, and to the left there’s a small bar and comfortable seating area. The wall next to reception is covered in a mosaic made of stone tiles that depicts a scene of two peasants in a field. The décor is unique and gives the hotel some character.
