Urban Sea Atocha 113

As experienced budget travelers, we were more than happy with the comfort, cleanliness and especially the friendliness of service staff at Urbansea Atocha. The location can’t be beat: A 10-15 minute walk from Atocha train station (hub for commuter train and Express bus from the airport, as well as Renfe high-speed trains to other cities), Prado (Museo de Reina Sofia is even closer), Botanical Gardens, center city highlights, and the hipster neighborhood of Lapies. Plus, the hotel accommodates (free) early checkin if there are rooms that weren’t occupied the previous night. This is really helpful for Americans arriving on red-eye flights! Our room was small, of course, but pleasantly modern in the European style. Note that bathroom area is separated from bedroom area by a solid white curtain you can draw across, but toilet is set in its own cubicle with a frosted glass door so we did not find privacy to be an issue. Also note that rooms with two twin beds seem to be the norm in Spain (often pushed together to mimic a queen), so put in your request for a double when making your reservation if you care about that.

Staff was very helpful

No AC super small and dirty not what the pictures shows on expedia is the worst of the trip not recommended at all we rented 5 rooms and they were all the same and we have pictures to prove it

It was all very good. The only thing we didn't like was the openness of the toilet to the common area.

very Clean, nice area, very close to Reina Sofia and Museo del prado. nice staff, excellent service.

The staff was excellent. Ice water and coffee in the lobby anytime you wanted was a lovely touch. The king size bed was quite comfortable. The room was clean. Unfortunately the room itself needs some attention and was quite an awkward set up. Only a part wall between the toilet and sink and no door. The separate shower was fine although it took a while for the hot water to get there. Location was good. The little restaurant close to the hotel was excellent, in particular for breakfast.

Did not like- when opening window in evening too many cooking smells came wafting into our room…not sure where that was coming from, but was unpleasant. Also, shower needs a bath mat-dangerously slippery when wet. Otherwise room was fine.

I highly recommend this hotel! We would definitely stay again. The rooms are very comfortable and clean. The service of the staff is unmatched. And the complimentary coffee and cappuccinos in the lobby is a very appreciated detail.

Hotel close to Atocha. Nice big room on 6th floor with good views over roof tops. Nice roof top patio. Comfortable big bed. Effective air conditioning. No safe in room. When we got up at 6:30 to go to the airport, there was no hot water in the shower - only cold water. I think hot showers are a basic requirement, so couldn’t recommend this hotel.

I was very happy with my stay here. The check in was quick, room was clean and suited my needs. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The hotel was just outside of the tourist area, which meant it was quiet but close to the action. Only a 15 min walk to the train station and 25 minute walk to Plaza Mayor. 24h coffee available and has a filter water dispenser on site. Room did not have a view (looked into an interior courtyard), but this meant there was no noise from the streets outside. Overall very happy and I would stay here again!
