Read it your way
SLEEP'N Atocha provides modern, quiet lodging positioned directly by Madrid's primary railway terminal. Guests consistently appreciate the effective soundproof windows, fast free WiFi, and well-designed bathrooms with Rituals amenities. However, lower-floor courtyard rooms offer little in the way of scenery, and certain breakfast items like the sausages draw complaints. 175

- “What's more, with the station opposite, you can leave the hotel and be on a super-fast AVE train in moments, being whisked to Malaga, Barcelona, Valencia or Seville at over 300kph, so it's a great location too for those planning to explore more of Spain.” 5

- “"Dazzling design and a clubby vibe combine to make the Only YOU Atocha the new fashionable place to stay in Madrid. Smart rooms, great food and a sense of space create a contemporary luxe environment where guests might just forget to leave the hotel all weekend."” 16
- “Not only were the coffee pods by Toscaf - a Spanish coffee supplier - and not Nespresso (largely overrated in my honest option), but the capsules were biodegradable. Love the investment in Spanish business and the environment here.” 23
- “The presentation and quality of the breakfast were excellent - one of the best I have enjoyed for a long time.” 5
- “Having tried these samples, I confidently ordered a number of dishes of artisan cheeses and the most wonderful cold cuts - really, Madrid is one of the best destinations for this kind of food.” 13
- “Despite the hotel being fairly full, we have the place to ourselves and take our time over the buffet, ordering fresh eggs and coffee to the table to accompany our impressive selection of fruit and pastries.” 19
- “Breakfast the next day would have been worth getting up even earlier for. It was served on the top floor, with views over the south of Madrid.” 22
- “Learn from our mistakes and skip the pricey rooftop breakfast.” 6
- “While lunch and dinner in the courtyard restaurant and streetfront bar and café draw in a local crowd, the attention to guest requests when they step inside is notable.” 24
- “Nice breakfast and view at Sleep'n. Make sure to have a cold beer downstairs too.” 3
- “I liked the location, and the buffet breakfast selection would suit even the hardest of people to please.” 23
- “The intimate, cosy interior dining room with classic features and contemporary and classical art sets the tone for an elegant evening.” 13
- “And when it's time to unwind, guests can enjoy a delicious breakfast to fuel the day ahead. Because nothing starts a morning better than a satisfying meal in a welcoming atmosphere.” On camera251:20
- “The restaurant, Trotamundos, serves a great range of international cuisines, from exotic Oriental food to Tapas.” 16
- “El Patio de Atocha is also the setting for breakfast, which is a delight. Table service of prepared dishes makes for a very relaxing start to the day.” 13
- “Nice breakfast and view at Sleep'n.” 3
- “I'm pleased to confirm that the breakfast served up in the Atocha 107 (the hotel's only restaurant) at the Atocha Madrid Hotel hit the spot - for the most part.” 23
- “It was quite a few years ago, pre-covid; but as I recall, the room was very nice, and the service, outstanding. We had a light meal in the restaurant; and, that, too, was very good.” 6
- “The hotel's reinvention of the boutique concept is inspired and paired with very spacious rooms and a quiet interior garden where you can enjoy the dishes of Executive Chef Alberto Martínez-make sure to try the hake omelette.” 1
Room25 mentions
- “We stayed in CoolSuite 44, with an entrance library with a minibar, a huge bedroom, a luxurious bathroom with Molton Brown amenities, and a private terrace with a jacuzzi hot tub, outdoor seating and dining area and views of the city skyline.” 13
- “Get a private room at Latroupe Prado. Right across the street and the suites were VERY nice for like €130 per day.” 3
- “Our concierge helpfully showed us around, highlighting the mini bar, mood lighting, heat controls, high speed internet and various other elements, while we gazed adoringly at the intricate wall panels and coving and admired the yellow bowl light fixture that drops elegantly from a central ceiling rose.” 19
- “I enjoyed the aromas of The Lab Room shower lotions, shampoos, and gels. Most notable of all, however, is that despite this being a penthouse suite in a Hilton-owned property, the in-shower amenities were refillable rather than disposable miniatures.” 23
- “Unfortunately I didn't have as many good things to say about the view, since my room was on a low floor and faced the courtyard.” 17
- “The kitchenette and table were as large as a typical hotel room you'd get in London, and I loved the wooden surface finishes and camoflauge upholstery on the chairs.” 17
- “Learning our room is ready early (pretty impressive at 10.30am!) we hurry upstairs to drop off our bags and freshen up.” 19
- “The desk was far too thick for legs to get comfortable, and there were also no universal power ports around the room.” 17
- “From the tastefully designed room to the impeccable service, I was surprised by the attention to detail throughout my stay.” 17
- “I loved that the room featured a coffee machine, and the espresso (pods included with the room) that it made was very, very good.” 17
- “As we opened the door to our Premium room, we were immediately struck by the palatial proportions of the suite. In Madrid, where space is something of a premium, it's rare to be treated to quite so much room.” 19
- “The cozy king bed was in the far left corner of the room.” 23
- “There was nothing to fault about my stay at my first Hilton Tapestry Collection property, including the tasteful decor, good location, good WiFi, and impeccable service.” 17
- “Instead of a wardrobe, there was a storage and hanging area for clothes fashioned also by incorporating the room's support posts. An interesting design feature for sure, though I'm not sure it would be everyone's preference to have their clothes hanging gathering dust.” 23
- “Not forgetting the fruity-scented hand soap - also by The Lab Room, and also not in plastic packaging.” 23
- “The room itself also turned out to be a delight. Wood (or laminate) flooring gave a clean appearance. The use of darker but warmer shades of wood - as opposed oft-seen pale Scandinavian look - contributed to the continuing sense of coziness.” 22
- “The second level had a unique tower-style living room with 360 views of Madrid - quite spectacular.” 13
- “Expect a smart dressing table area; twin or king size beds; impressively fast Wi-Fi, widescreen TV with media hub connection to Bluetooth, HDMI and USB; kettle with teas; and, classic, mid-century modern styled bathrooms with generous showers, organic amenities, hairdryer and fun bathrobes in white and zebra print. etc.” 5
- “Closet space was plentiful, although I myself don't really use the closet a lot for fear of forgetting things in there.” 22
- “The toilet room featured the most colorful and decorative design of the whole suite - an intricate floral number that almost felt wasted in the tiny toilet cubicle.” 23
- “Power outlets were plentiful around the room, including both USB and standard European ports by the bed.” 23
- “The El Atochal Penthouse suite is one of the best rooms in the hotel. The freestanding tub in the open-plan, loft-style room is just one of the features that make it so great.” 23
- “After a day of devouring culture and indulging in tapas, you'll be glad to kick back and relax in your large, elegant guest room.” 13
- “The rooms themselves are decorated in a sleek, minimalist design, with exposed red brick walls and parquet floorboards, modern chic furniture and artworks along the wall.” 16
- “I liked that there were 2 master switches for the room, including one by the bed for when you dive under the sheets and realize you've left a light on somewhere.” 23
Location8 mentions · 1 filmed
- “It backs up to the Reina Sofia Museum plaza and it is just a few blocks away from El Prado and El Retiro. It is a big hotel and caters to tour groups but both times our room was fine and the location was very convenient to train station.” 10
- “Close to Atocha train station, this is a great spot for those that want to make day trips to interesting neighboring cities like Segovia and Toledo.” 24
- “There was nothing to fault about my stay at my first Hilton Tapestry Collection property, including the tasteful decor, good location, good WiFi, and impeccable service.” 17
- “Surrounded by the coolest neighbourhoods of Madrid, CoolRooms Palacio de Atocha has a great location if you're looking to experience the centre of the Spanish capital, writes Andrew Forbes (The Luxury Editor).” 13
- “Nitacha Hotel is a charming threestar haven designed with both business and leisure travelers in mind. Its prime location, just 1.8 8 km from Madrid's bustling city center puts you within easy reach of iconic sites, lively cafes, and cultural hotspots.” On camera250:20
- “The Only You Atocha (there's another Only You near the Chueca metro station), is directly across from the main Atocha train station, making it super convenient if you're arriving or departing by train.” 22
- “What's more, with the station opposite, you can leave the hotel and be on a super-fast AVE train in moments, being whisked to Malaga, Barcelona, Valencia or Seville at over 300kph, so it's a great location too for those planning to explore more of Spain.” 5
- “Stayed in Only You for several nights. Morden, quiet, very close to the station entrance. I would recommend it.” 3
Service20 mentions · 1 filmed
- “I thought that was strange but then came to the conclusion that the member of staff in charge of breakfast was rather militant in her running of the service, as a few minutes later she told me that I had to be seated to order my eggs and that I wasn't able to request them as I passed her walking to the buffet.” 23
- “The many mirrors were nice to make sure you looked your best before going out!” 22
- “I had dinner at the 'Trotamundos' restaurant on the ground floor. The team was very friendly and natural, making for a relaxed and enjoyable evening.” 5
- “We've stayed there, and I recommend it. It was quite a few years ago, pre-covid; but as I recall, the room was very nice, and the service, outstanding.” 6
- “I have nothing but great things to say about all the staff at this property, as they were friendly and eager to please.” 17
- “I didn't get to spend much time in it, but I can see how it would be a nice place to hang out with friends for a time. Also, it should be noted that luggage storage is inside of a locked room behind the reception desk, so I felt quite safe leaving my bag there after checkout.” 22
- “There was nothing to fault about my stay at my first Hilton Tapestry Collection property, including the tasteful decor, good location, good WiFi, and impeccable service.” 17
- “For the record, I ended up at OnlyYou and it was LOVELY! Definitely fancier than the places I'm used to staying at, but also with fun / funky character to the rooms. 1000% recommend it. Awesome staff too.” 3
- “From the tastefully designed room to the impeccable service, I was surprised by the attention to detail throughout my stay.” 17
- “The check-in staff here were excellent: super friendly, making easy conversation.” 22
- “The moment you arrive, you'll appreciate the smooth check-in process available from 300 p.m. ensuring a stress-free start to your adventure.” On camera250:38
- “Admittedly though, the Seagram's temporary branding of logos and bottles within the hotel does distract a little from the stylish interiors of Lázaro Rosa Violán, which make the most of the industrial scale of the building, combining bold urban cues with warm, welcoming Mediterranean tones.” 5
- “The check-in agent was very friendly - upon asking if I could photograph the lobby, she also offered to help me open the door to the meeting room, which was located behind glass doors in the lobby.” 17
- “That said, there was nothing wrong with the service I received at the Atocha Hotel Madrid - far from it. I'd be more inclined to say that there was nothing really special to comment about it. I'll remember this hotel for the room - that's for sure - but not for the encounters I had with the staff.” 23
- “My husband and I stayed there last September. It was very nice and it was super convenient to be next to the Atocha station.” 6
- “In the bathroom, the housekeeping staff organizes your personal items with precision and restocks towels and flowers throughout the day.” 24
- “BUT let me just add that the person who called me from that hotel to discuss was one of the friendliest and best customer service people I've ever spoken to with at a hotel.” 3
- “The dark wood and monochrome tiling is beautifully accented with piles of fluffy white towels, chic gold hardware and Molten Brown toiletries that all look spectacular against the white marble sinks.” 19
- “We're greeted by smiling, smartly-dressed staff and shown to a small but sweet reception area, from which a spectacular spiral staircase rises to the floors above.” 19
- “With unforgettable custom-made experiences, room service and airport transfers all organised in a heartbeat at reception, you know you're in the very best hands.” 19
Bathroom8 mentions
- “The bathroom was nicely decorated, and included my number 1 wish-for: tons of counter space to lay out my stuff.” 22
- “I don't even really like baths, but I'd be lying if I said this bathtub wasn't one of the main reasons I wanted to stay in this room. There's just something so sexy about a freestanding bath in a hotel suite.” 23
- “Expect a smart dressing table area; twin or king size beds; impressively fast Wi-Fi, widescreen TV with media hub connection to Bluetooth, HDMI and USB; kettle with teas; and, classic, mid-century modern styled bathrooms with generous showers, organic amenities, hairdryer and fun bathrobes in white and zebra print. etc.” 5
- “A quick peek in the bathroom makes for another giddy moment as the door opens to an enormous space, complete with a huge walk-in shower, double sink and a separated toilet area.” 19
- “Consistently aesthetically pleasing and consistently environmentally conscious. The vanity kit, shower caps, and dental kit were all encased in cardboard rather than plastic. Great work, Atocha Hotel Madrid.” 23
- “The bathroom was located by the seating area, and was very spacious and featured clean white tiling. I really liked the backlit mirror.” 17
- “The spacious shower room featured the same matte black fittings as the rest of the room. I appreciated the consistency.” 23
- “The rainforest shower had excellent water pressure, and I also really enjoyed the bottles of toiletries provided by The Lab Room.” 17
Noise6 mentions

- “I thought that maybe the location by a busy transport hub might mean the rooms would be affected by noise, but that wasn't the case. Sound-proofing was excellent and the blackout curtains really worked, so I slept well.” 5
- “As the flagship hotel of the CoolRooms brand, the building is conveniently situated on 34 Atocha Street, right in the heart of the action.” 19
- “My view was onto an interior courtyard, rather than to the street. I actually liked it, because it was quiet, yet still luminous.” 22
- “I stayed in the Catalonia right up the street it was fine reasonably priced too.” 3

Value5 mentions
- “The penthouse suite offered great value for the price. I enjoyed the location, and the buffet breakfast had enough variety to satisfy even the pickiest eaters.” 23
- “The Artrip should be well within your price range. We stayed there in October 2017, and I have to say it was the nicest 2* we've ever experienced. Easy walk to Atocha.” 10
- “I was very, very thrilled with the room - I'm not too familiar with the Madrid hotel market, though even for the retail cost I felt like the room was such good value.” 17
- “It's no secret that I'm not a fan of Hilton beds, and find them too firm and the bedding too thin - this bed was no exception, though I slept well and it was a small price to pay for the otherwise extraordinary room.” 17
- “I found the price I paid to stay in the hotel's penthouse suite to be excellent value for money.” 23
