NH Collection Madrid Abascal

The NH Collection Madrid Abascal. It sits on quite a busy avenue in the Chamberí district, encased in that familiar, clinical wrapper of the NH brand. You know the drill: it’s smart, it’s spotlessly clean, and it looks precisely like every other upscale business hotel built since the turn of the century. But an air-conditioning unit that sounds loud, no other word, and a minibar fridge that rattles with the furious intensity of a broken lawnmower. "Ah," you think, "I’ll just get a room on the top floor to escape the endless roar of Madrid's traffic." Wrong. Even from the highest ceiling, the noise off the main road penetrates your skull with absolute, relentless precision—so if you don't request a room at the back, God help your sleep. Then comes the morning, and they ask for twenty-five Euros for the breakfast buffet. Twenty. Five. Euros. For some eggs and cereal! Unless you book it at check-in for twenty, which I still consider a steal. My recommendation, walk a few streets over to the NH Zurbano instead. It’s vastly quieter, just as clean, and won't leave you needing a lie-down from the noise.

The hotel was great, set in a beautiful old building that has been tastefully restored. The breakfast buffet was very good, and the staff were absolutely wonderful throughout our stay. A special mention has to go to the bed, which was exceptionally comfortable. During our 12-day trip, we stayed in six different hotels and locations, and this was by far the most comfortable bed of the entire trip. We slept incredibly well! A lovely hotel that we would happily recommend and stay at again.

Superb services and attention to guests details. Convenient location in Madrid, will repeat for sure!

Lovely quiet hotel with a relaxed vibe. Good location and friendly service. Breakfast was really good and the rooms were clean and modern. Beds comfortable and good showers. There isn’t a pool so if that’s important to you then it won’t work, but the location is excellent - nice and safe and lovely to walk around.

Location is quite poor, if you do not have to stay in this exact area. Nothing for tourist here. Most rooms are inside facing & quite bad. Insist on outside facing rooms. The prepaid guests are given the worst rooms. It gives the feeling of a remodeled hospital. Only 2 lifts for whole hotel, so be prepared to wait.
