Review Arosa Hotel Madrid (Best Western)
Page Content

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.

The hotel has 134 rooms all equipped with radio, iron and ironing board, hairdryer, AC, safe, satellite TV, pay TV, mini bar and modem and ADSL connection. There's also room service, a laundry service and an option to choose a no-smoking room.
Some rooms have a balcony with enough space to sit and enjoy views over Gran Via. (Main road through Madrid - bustling with life) The rooms are plain and comfortable and predominantly decorated in creams (without any sign of red zebra stripes ;) ).

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 wide array of coffees and sandwiches and muffins. Gran Via also has plenty of cashpoints, and is a place to find a good theatre show.
Right next to the hotel is a Sushi bar.
