Hotel Rex Madrid

Midden in het uitgaansgebied. Goed geïsoleerd, maar sirenes van ziekenauto's e.d. zijn natuurlijk goed te horen.Heerlijke beddenUitgebreid ontbijtbuffet, maar niet altijd snel aangevuldMooie kamer en erg netjesdouchen in bad is niet echt mijn ding...Personeel groet niet, maar helpt prima als je vragen hebt.

Voors: Gunstige ligging, uitstekend ontbijt, schone kamer.

Voors: Ligging is uitstekend, ontbijt was gevarieerd en goed
Tegens: Kamer inrichting gedateerd ,beddegoed ( synthetische deken )niet meer van deze tijd, ook vloerbedekkingzag er oud en gehavend uit.badkamer oud, kraan douche werkte niet goed, heeft opknapbeurt nodig.

Voors: De locatie, bereikbaarheid waren uitstekend. de kamer was voorzien van alle gemakken voorzien. ook werd de kamer goed schoon gemaakt.
Tegens: Het hotel personeel is zeker niet vriendelijk. het personeel is enorm passief en komt verveelt over.

Pros: Best location

Pros: I found the hotel clean and the daily breakfast was very good. the hotel is handily placed for the centre of madrid.
Cons: I stopped at the hotel rex on two occasions. my first stay was for two nights and then a week later a further three nights. on the first visit,i was in room 411 and there was no plug for the sink in the bathroom.it was no problem for two nights and i put up with it.
on my second visit one week later, i was in room 215 and there was no plug again in the sink!irritated and curious i went to the hotel reception to find out about this strange situation. imagine my suprise when i informed the reception staff that there was no plug for the sink , to be informed by the staff that there was no plugs in the entire hotel!
the staff member then reached under the counter and presented me with a plug on a 12 inch chain! i kid you not. i gave them the plug back on the day i checked out when i paid my bill. room 215 was quite a noisy room, partly due to fellow inconsiderate guests in the corridors or slamming their room doors etc. also from this room you could hear the hotel boiler or heating system switch on or off after a period of time - which could be quite annoying.
also the hotel reception is not at ground floor, it is situated at basement level with no lift. so you have to manhandle your heavy bags down the steps where the reception and lifts are located. you have to do this procedure in reverse when you leave and i did see several elderly people struggle with their bags to get them from the basement to street level.
incidentally, if i had not stopped at the hotel twice in 2 different rooms, i would not have become aware of the lack of plugs for the sinks. maybe, everyone like me would have just put up with it for a short period.

Pros: Central but near 'seedy area' good breakfast
Cons: Area
