My stay at NH Collection Madrid Suecia was simply espectacular! From my arrival through my very early morning departure (4am!) the staff were warm, kind and so helpful, patiently listening to my halting, broken Spanish or any questions I had in English. I was assisted to my room by a friendly porter and when I needed help getting in touch with the hotel for the next leg of my trip in France, guest...

If you are going to label yourself as a 5-star property, please be fair and meet the criteria. Do not mislead ...
