The Hotel Room Mate Oscar is a 3-star hotel on Plaza de Pedro Zerolo, between Gran Vía and Chueca. It has designer rooms and a rooftop bar with views over the roofs. It is a good fit if you want to sleep in an area with plenty of bars and restaurants and get around the centre on foot.
Location and getting around
It is at number 12 on the square, a step from Gran Vía. On foot, Puerta del Sol and Callao are about 10 minutes away, and Plaza Mayor about 15. To the east, Plaza de Cibeles is also about 10 minutes and the Prado Museum about 15.
For the Santiago Bernabéu stadium (3.7 km) or the airport (about 12 km to Terminal 4), the Metro or a taxi is better.
Rooms and facilities
The rooms have air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, a minibar and a full bathroom, and Wi-Fi is free. Breakfast is a buffet, with a gluten-free option if you ask for it.
What most sets it apart is the roof: a bar with a terrace from which you can see much of Madrid, by day and at sunset. There are also meeting rooms.
Who it suits
- You travel as a couple and want to go out to dinner in Chueca without taking transport.
- You will spend the day out and want to walk back from almost anywhere in the centre.
- You travel for work and a meeting room at the hotel is useful.
- You fancy a drink with a view without leaving the hotel.
Good to know
Check-in is from 15:00 and check-out is until 12:00. At check-in you are asked for photo ID and a credit card. The area is lively at night, which is worth considering if you are a light sleeper.
