Apartamentos Fuencarral 50

Excellent check in service. Clean and functional apartment in a great location

Positives ------------ Location: Brilliant. Central location. 5 minutes to 3 different metro stations (Cheuca, Gran Via, Tribunal) Apartment: Very clean, Suitable for two adults and two kids. Kitchen has all the appropriate equipment. Negatives -------------- The check in process was not very clear. I had booked an apt. in Feuncarral 50 but there was nobody there when I turned up in spite of providing my flight details and being told there will be somebody there. I then had to call up and I was told to go to Feuncarral 48 and leave the bags with the Housekeeping guys there & collect it later on in the day to check in at 3 PM. Similarly during checkout we had to wait for an hour and had to call up multiple times for somebody to come over to hold the baggage till evening after we checked out. This is an ideal location and a great apartment except for these two negative points.

These apartments are great!! The staff at the apartments are the nicest, most helpful people you’ll have the pleasure of meeting. The location is incredible!! Your in the heart of the city close to everything! No sights are more than a 20 minute walk. Lots of shops, restaurants and tapas bars just a step or two from the front door!! Very clean and spacious accommodations with comfy beds and pillows!

Great Locations friendly staff

Pro: 1. Superb location. It's directly on a street with many local shops/restaurants and just a walk away from all the sights to see - no need to drive or take a cab around Madrid. 2. Very friendly service. The check-in guy Imanol (sorry, might have spelled wrong) was wonderful - showed us everything we needed and gave us a detailed route to follow to see everything in Madrid, which we appreciated very much. He also stopped by to drop off extra blankets that we requested. 3. Clean and comfortable, although outdated and quite small room. There's just one open loft and a living room with a sofabed. Con: 1. NOISY. For two nights our whole family barely slept. It's on a busy local street, which is great during the daytime but dreadful at night. The problem is poor insulation - you can hear every conversation and sound on the street. For example, there is garbage collection around midnight, street cleaning around 1-2 AM, you can hear singing from night-shift workers, etc. Unless you're a heavy sleeper, this will be a problem. See if you can request an inner room, because our room that bordered the street was an unpleasant experience. 2. There is a heavy smell, maybe from cleaning chemicals, so be wary of that.

We enjoyed Apartamentos Fuencarral 50. We stayed for two days. It was great to have a kitchen to make our own food and the location was central to so much of Madrid's great offerings. I have two bones to pick. 1. We chose this place partly because it offers luggage storage. I made the reservation, then learned that on Saturdays and Sundays they don't open until later in the morning to take luggage. We ended up needing to store it at Atocha Train station. 2. There is no "front desk." When we arrived we couldn't see where to check in. Luckily, we called the office, and they gave us instructions to ring the basement of Fuencarral 48. Once we did, we got in and everything went well after that. Just be sure you have a cell phone when you go to Spain and when you go to this hotel.

Apartment was very well situated in the centre and easy reach to all the main attractions. The greeting was extremely helpful and using a city map gave us the best ways in which to see all the sights in one day and where to buy groceries. Due to the apartment location, no reflection on the apartment or management it was quite noisy. The main shopping street during the night had refuse collections and maintenance throughout. Great if you aren't too bothered about the noise and can sleep through it. The apartment above has laminated flooring which also allowed for noise to travel through.

The location was great and the place was clean. However, the shower system should be improved - only hot water for 15 minutes to use. When we use more water, there was only cold water served. And the surrounding area was quite noisy, whilst the location was convenient for shopping.

Great stay, a bit noisy at night time and a bathroom could do with some extra updating around ceiling but staff super helpful, friendly, full of recommendations and tips! Very pleasant stay!

This place was great!!! The apartment was perfect! Just the right amount of space. The location is walking distance from everything. The ladies in the office were very nice and helpful with telling us how to get around or with any other question! Will definitely stay here again!!!
