Liabeny

"Great location on the periphery of the pedestrian streets and near the Gran Via. Easy access to major tourist spots and the Metro (though we chose to walk). The hotel breakfast is superb—wonderful selection of all that one needs to start the day off. The only drawback was the room. Bed was comfortable but the foam pillows not so much. The floor had not been swept/vacuumed/mopped in a very long time based on the thick layer of dust under the bed. The bottom of our own white slippers were black with dirt after four days with hair collecting on them as well. But the worst problem was the sewer gas that would come up out of the shower drain. After a day we figured out to cover it with a wet towel which stopped the gas. We told the hotel the night before we left and they offered another room but since we figured out how to control it, we stayed put. We should have spoken up sooner but honestly, just forgot as we were really enjoying the city. Also, if your room is on the corner of Abada and de La Salud streets, there is a parking garage sign that is exceptionally bright and can illuminate the room at night given the curtain doesn’t fully cover the window. We would stay again as the staff are very helpful, the location is excellent, the breakfast is outstanding, the bar area is nice, the hotel is modern, and the room is quiet. But we will flag the floor and bathroom immediately if it happens again."

"The hotel is well-located, modern and clean. Unfortunately breakfast feels like an afterthought with limited selection and low cooking quality. Some items are not set out at the right temperature (e.g. yogurt is always warm). A hotel of this quality should try harder. Recommend getting breakfast elsewhere."

"We just recently stayed at Hotel Liabeny, and our stay was amazing. This is our second time here because we had such a great experience on our last stay. The location is superb, near Puerta del Sol. The rooms are very clean and comfortable, and the staff is professional and helfpful. The breakfast was impressively extensive, and we most enjoyed the assortment of soft breads, the classic tortilla de patata, and the fresh fruit, which was our favorite. I have to say that "Rafael, the camarero" went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. One morning we asked for ice, and the next morning he was ready for us with ice and a smile. He was very personable, and it is these small gestures that make a difference. A definite shout out to Rafa! The concierge was also very helpful and efficient in printing a work document that I needed. I will be returning in December to Hotel Liabeny, so it has to be EXCELLENT!"
