Beautiful hotel located on a pedestrian street. We absolutely loved our stay at Room Mate Alba. The room was stunning, with ample storage and an incredibly comfortable bed. The common spaces were also wonderful, with a beautiful courtyard at the heart of the hotel. Would absolutely recommend this hotel!

Hotel com excelente localização, funcionários muito amáveis e prestativos. Café da manhã muito bom, servido até o meio dia. O bar abre as 17h00 mas só serve bebidas, faltam uns aperitivos. Móveis da recepção velhos e cansados, merecendo uma troca já que é um hotel caro e 4 estrelas. No quarto do ático falta um local para sentar, uma poltrona, que todo hotel tem... só tem uma cadeira e o quarto é para duas pessoas.

Really enjoyed our short stay in the Alba, reception staff were very friendly and helpful, room was lovely, quite big and bed was very comfy. Big walk in shower had great pressure. Our room was on the first floor overlooking the main street outside, with the balconey doors open, you could hear the street sounds (which were nice for the ost part) close the door and you hear nothing - which was brilliant... as the street got noisy in the evenings. Only downside and it might be that it was the end of september, the bar doesnt open till after 5pm. Couldnt have a glass of wine in the mid avo in the beautiful courtyard.

This hotel was in the perfect location, with everything within walking distance. While the hotel itself only had one restaurant/bar, there were plenty of options withing 5-10 minutes away. The hotel was clean and the staff was amiable and extremely helpful.

Everything was top notch--the staff were always friendly and helpful, the decor stellar, location perfect. Would definitely stay again. Only complaints: I didn't LOVE the bar options. They were expensive for the quality. Also, no need to shake a vermouth for 30 seconds, just pour it from the bottle over ice, and please--not in a martini glass. A little noisy at 3am on a Saturday, but what can you do? I wouldn't stay elsewhere because of this. Just wear earplugs to sleep.

This is a beautiful, luxurious hotel in the old town, near the Plaza Mayor. All the amenities (including tons of electrical outlets!) were exceptional. Our room had a sweet Juliet balcony overlooking the street — which was romantic, and not as noisy as you might expect, given the touristy location. The attached bar/restaurant is cozy (if the Sangria is a bit expensive) and we highly recommend the morning breakfast buffet. It was the largest we’ve seen in Europe, perfect for Americans used to a big breakfast!

The Room Mate Alba is a great hotel in the lovely barrio de las letras in Madrid. It has all the conveniences of being near the main tourist attractions in the city, while feeling like a quiet escape from the crowds. The rooms are soundproofed, the AC is great, the breakfast amazing and the staff are lovely and helpful. Highly recommended.

Excellent location close to everything. There’s some construction in the street in front of the hotel, which may impede transportation to or from the front door of the hotel. Breakfast is decent but probably not worth the price.

The property is excellently located for exploring all of the sights of Madrid. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The environment is of a high standard and the room amenities were good. Bed was very comfy. Though the hotel does not have a restaurant the area is surrounded by excellent food choices so not an issue. Would definitely recommend and come back should I be in Madrid again.

The service is excellent!!! Hotel is extremely clean including the walls in the bathroom which can often get neglected. That they and hard to get the areas such as cubicles and the chests. I also didn’t expect them to speak English when I was struggling and they were very very kind about that. I had a superior room with a balcony and the room was very spacious and comfortable. Rooms facing the street are wonderful just be prepared to hear the regular sounds of the street such as garbage collection and loud people from time to time…. I mean it’s a city. This hotel is located in a beautiful part of the city and extremely easy to walk to such as Madrid Centro, plaza mayor, the marketplace and more. Special special thanks to Pablo & Barbara. Superior service and both went above and beyond

The location was absolutely fabulous - round the corner from some really great tapas and wine bars. Walkable to basically everything (depending on how much of a keen walker you are) and felt really safe. We had a superior room which faced the pedestrian-only road and it was lovely. The only issue was that the walls are a bit too thin for our liking (we could hear word for word the conversation of our neighbours next door but luckily we only had neighbours on one side - I think I would have gone insane if we had neighbours on both sides based on how thin the walls are!). Nevertheless, I would still highly recommend this hotel based on the location alone as it really was in a great spot in Madrid!

Great location, I'll be more than happy to stay here and within Calle de las huertas. You can get to most of the tourist destinations within Madrid within up to 20 minutes. There exist more hotels that are closer to Plaza Mayor but trust me, you don't want to stay super close to it. This hotel is in the Goldilocks zone from there. Staff was extremely good.
