Ibis Madrid Getafe

1) Affordable price and good value for money! Facing the necessity to spend a weekend in Madrid, I was horrified by extremely high hotel prices. This Ibis hotel, situated in a quiet and modest area of Getafe (part of autonomous community of Madrid), turned out to be the only decent affordable choice (approx. 68€ a night). 2) Location. Yes, strangely enough! For those who use public transport like me, the absence of a metro station nearby is no problem, because there are two RENFE (suburban train) stations at walking distance from the hotel, Getafe Centro (15 min on foot) and Las Margaritas (20 min). It's as comfortable, cheap, and swift as metro. From Getafe Centro, line C-4, there are only 4 stops to Atocha train station in the centre of Madrid. 3) Personnel. Incredibly polite, and I would really advise the hotel management to give them some award as they deserve it. My deepest thanks to the young lady at the reception desk who was there during my stay. During check-in, she took notice of my request for a quiet room, made at Booking, and fulfilled it!! This is amazing for a big chain hotel where such requests tend to be completely ignored. Later, she kindly helped me with minor issues (like, provided a glass of hot water, as a kettle is traditionally absent from hotel rooms in Spain! :)). Passing by the reception desk, I often witnessed new guests arrive, and always she served them most quickly and efficiently. The girl at the bar was also very nice! 4) The room. That super receptionist gave me a quiet room, as it was at the end of a corridor, and I could sleep really well due to the absence of noise from the neighbours. Everything corresponds to the pictures, quite a standard Ibis room, impersonal decor, nice bed, good hot shower. Very clean. I am very content.

I stayed with my five year old son because we had some business to attend in the centre. It was very easy to get to and from the train station even in the rain. There's also loads of parks for kids to play in. Near the hotel and over the overpass. Near Lidl and Mercadona (major supermarkets) . Also, the restaurant downstairs had yummy food! The room is a good size, overlooking trees and greenery. The shower was A.ma.zing!!!

The lady working at the reception was extremely nice and helpful. The hotel itself is clean, comfortable and cosy. There is a Mercadona next door and a few cafeterias around.

Great location, we were driving so the city center and theme park and were only minutes away. There was easy parking on the street as well as a small market and a Mercadona right next to the hotel. They also have their own bar/lounge that was inviting and served good food and drinks, great for an end of the day meal after a whole day of sight seeing.

Booked because they accepted booking.com travel credits and they accepted pets for extra charge. Convenient location with 2 supermarkets nearby, 1 all goods store. Nice bar/restaurant area, though dinner was expensive with average food. Continental breakfast however was cheap. Good room size, nice TV in room. It was very cold outside but the room was very nicely insulated and warm despite us not turning on any heating.
