My stay at Abalu Design Boutique Hotel was quite mixed. The location in Malasana is fantastic, close to great bars and restaurants. However, the room lacked a deep cleaning, and I noticed some issues like dust and a strange configuration with the bathroom. Overall, while the staff were friendly and helpful, the experience could have been improved with better room maintenance.

I had a decent time at Abalu Design Boutique Hotel Gran Via. The location is fantastic, surrounded by cool bars and restaurants, which made it easy to explore Madrid. Unfortunately, my room was quite noisy, and I could hear my neighbors' conversations, which disrupted my sleep. Overall, it was a fun stay, but the noise issue was a real letdown.

I had a mixed experience at the Abalu Design Boutique Hotel in Madrid. The location was fantastic, right in the heart of the city and close to great tapas bars and the metro. However, I found the room quite small and the noise levels disappointing, especially from the thin walls. While the staff was friendly, the service felt a bit disorganized at times, and the breakfast was underwhelming with limited options. Overall, the hotel had potential, but a few areas need improvement.

Rooms

The room I stayed in was on the smaller side and somewhat cramped. The layout was unusual, with the entrance via the bathroom, which was not ideal. Additionally, I found that the noise from outside and other rooms made it hard to get a good night's sleep.

Service

The staff were friendly, but I felt they were not very organized. When I requested a room change due to noise, it took some insistence before I received assistance, which was not very customer-friendly.

The breakfast left a lot to be desired. It was very basic, with just some fruit and processed cheese, and didn't justify the price. I would have preferred a better selection or to grab something from nearby cafes instead.

The hotel had some good facilities, but I didn't utilize room service or other amenities. The quirky design was nice, but the practical essentials like strong Wi-Fi and a functional coffee machine were lacking.
