It seems a while since this place was reviewed. We chose it as it's a 20-minute walk to the Bernabeu stadium and had its own parking underground (at an extra charge) - bends are tight if you have a large car. It ticked our boxes  - clean even if some décor is dated, decent beds, room cleaned and made up daily, effective shutters for night, view onto a quiet street, and a small kitchen - we didn't use it except for glasses and the sliding door is an odd arrangement if you wanted to cook). It's not plush. but taking price into account we thought it was good enough value for four stars.

Locally, the Prosperidad metro station is close but bus into the city (or to the Prado) gives you a view. For breakfast there are cafes quite close but we turned left then left again, past the metro and a couples of corners further (Calle de Cartagena) is a Rodilla cafe doing a brilliant brunch for €5.95.

On site parking adds to adequacy

Olano Apartments was a great base for us. We stayed 3 nights and thought the apartment was very good.

*Location is great if you wish to explore the city and be away from the craziness and get some sleep. Its right near the main Metro Line that goes everywhere in Madrid. 

*By Metro you can get to the Prado about 10 mins away, Old town about 15 mins away maybe quicker but so easy to get there.

*Nice and big apartment

*Air-Conditioned

*Kitchen Facilities makes your stay cheaper by having the choice to eat in and pack lunch

*Washing machine was very Handy

Only Negative 

* You had to pay for internet but it was way overpriced so we didn't bother getting it. 
6 euros for 1 hr or 12 euros for 24 hrs. 
We found an internet cafe around the corner that is really cheap. 
We wouldn't of mined paying if it was a reasonable price.

Overall we thought the Price was great for how big the apartment was. 

Take note: Try not to arrive during lunch time because they close the office. I'm not sure how long but we noticed it was closed and most shops in Madrid close from 1.30-4.30 so check the office hours.

Olano Apartments was a great base for exploring Madrid

We stayed here for 5 nights while visiting family who lived nearby. We were 4 people and were able to get an "apartment" with 2 single beds in one room and 2 single beds in the other room.
The rooms themselves were very spacious and everything was very clean.

The kitchen was very convenient for having breakfast items and snacks..but if you were expecting to cook a lot of meals -- then you need to understand the geometry. The "kitchen" is built into what appears to have been a sliding door closet. It includes a mini-fridge, 2 burner stove, a sink, microwave and a washing machine. However, since there is a sliding door -- only 1/2 of the kitchen is readily accessible at a time. Again -- it was fine for breakfast and snacks -- but you won't be comfortable doing any gourmet cooking. There were plates, cups, bowls and silverware and just a few pots and pans.

The rooms are air-conditioned -- BUT the system comes on at 1PM and stopped at 1AM. While we were there, the temps outside were 100F, so our rooms on the 3rd floor were hot. If you are traveling in the summer, ask for a lower floor room -- or leave the balcony window open so you at least get a breeze.

We had a rental car, and the apartment had underground parking for 10E a day. You need to have a small car -- because the fit is really tight. In the end, we found parking on the street most of the time.

It's only a few blocks walk to the metro station and there is a grocery store and produce markets within a block.

So -- this was adequate and I'd call it a good budget value accommodation and we would probably stay there again.

Nice Location - but too hot in August

After a long flight with no sleep and speaking no Spanish you want that welcome mat well, if the big man is there you won't get any love. He will barely tell you that in Spain the room key turns on the lights. That I had to find out from the cleaning ladies who by the way are really nice. This hotel though is a good value and the women who work there when not on the phone making personal calls are actually okay. This is for the budget conscious and the Spanish Speaker.

If you are American this not the place to start out your first Day in Madrid in.

This hotel is a throw back to the dark ages.  Madrid may be steeped in history but it doesn’t mean we have to put up with ancient accommodation.  Where to start - check in is a little cabby hole!  - the property doesn’t have a sign outside and is difficult to find from the tube station.  The kitchen is falling apart and you can just about call it a kitchen - its as big as a cupboard.  The curtains - hope you like being woken up to the sun as nets don’t seem to hold out the lights very well and the shutters they have either.  the beds are the thinnest mattress's ever - you can feel every spring.  Towels and sheets - sparse and is there thread on them? so basically if your skinny you'll be fine as the towel should just about wrap around you - the springs wont dig into you too much and you'll definitely fit into the tiny kitchen/bathroom - and yes and there's a terrible smell in the corridor- overall steer clear reality is you pay for what you get and for same money I’m sure you can get something a little more resembling this century – look a little more but don’t stop here!
