7 Islas Hotel – Review
The 7 Islas Hotel is just 200 meters from Gran Via street at the heart of Madrid. This is a romantic small hotel at one of Madrid´s best areas. The hotel 7 Islas offers overall good value for money.
Rooms
The 7 Islas hotel offers elegant rooms equipped with air conditioning, marble bathrooms, and free WIFI. Some rooms also feature their own private balcony.
Rooms are of generous size and elegantly decorated with a clear color palette and modern wooden furniture that contributes to a relaxed and lightful atmosphere. Bathrooms are modern and spacious.
Services
The hotel has a cafeteria but in the Chueca and Gran Via area, there are many wonderful dining options.
Location
The Hotel is 10 minutes on foot from the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum and 15 minutes from the Prado museum. The Gran Via metro station is just 200 meters away. Chueca is one of the coolest districts in Madrid. Chueca is Madrid gay district and it boasts a good number of design shops, bars and restaurants. At Chueca you will find old couples that have always lived in the “barrio” having a walk with their grandsons, along with gay couples that live in Chueca or are on a visit trip. The gay community helped a lot in revitalizing Chueca and today you can find art galleries and boutique shops. Chueca is a great place to explore new restaurants in Madrid too. You can find in this article ideas with the best restaurants to enjoy in Chueca.
Chueca is a great area to enjoy Madrid since it is very close to most of the city attractions, but also due to its character. In case you would prefer to stay in a quieter district with the local atmosphere you may need to opt for Barrio Salamanca, a more traditional and upmarket area of Madrid.
Overall review
If you enjoy boutique style hotels with character and overall good value for money, the 7 Islas hotel is a good option for you. The hotel does not provide with gym, or spa areas, so in case you are looking for this type of facilities, this is not a hotel you would enjoy.
Otherwise, the breakfast is very good, the rooms are spacious and with a relaxed atmosphere (not “over-designed”) and the location is excellent.
