I had the best stay at this cute boutique hotel. It was in a great area close to so many Tapas places, stores and Plaza Mayor. My room and balcony were amazing. The bed and pillows were 15/10! I got the best sleep and the hotel was very quiet & peaceful. Staff was super friendly and accommodating. Will definitely be staying here again. 10/10

Positives:
- comfortable bed and bedding
- great shower
- large plush bath towels
- great location
Negatives:
- the room feels very confining with windows that don't open and look onto another building just a few feet away
- ground floor rooms get noise from the kitchen until about 11pm (though this was only on Friday and Saturday night, Sunday night was very quiet
- there is an emergency light above the door in the room that stays on all night and throws quite a bit of light

Llegaron a acuerdos sobre nuestra estadia, sobre los cuales luego mintieron descaradamente. ¡INCREÍBLE!
MI ESPOSA Y YO ESTÁBAMOS EQUIVOCADOS.

ME GUSTARÍA SABER DE USTED PRONTO. No deberían poder salirse con la suya.
Primero, el 24 de diciembre, nos dijeron que debíamos mudarnos de la habitación porque habría que hacerle reparaciones. (¿Se imaginan reparaciones el 24 de diciembre?). Esa misma tarde, otras personas se registraron en la misma habitación. Nos dieron otra y nos dijeron que podíamos quedarnos hasta el 26 de diciembre.
El 25 de diciembre, a las 11:30, llamaron a nuestra puerta y nos dijeron que teníamos que desocupar la habitación a las 14:00. ¡Les dijimos que habíamos llegado a un acuerdo con el recepcionista, y luego la cosa se puso fea; nos acusaron de mentir. ¡INCREÍBLE, POCO PROFESIONAL, GROSERO, etc.! Menos mal que pudimos conseguir un vuelo a Ámsterdam. ¡¡¡FUE UNA MALA EXPERIENCIA!!! ¿Por qué mentiríamos? Hay muchos hoteles en Madrid. Si fueran profesionales, esto nunca pasaría.
La única razón por la que nos quedamos más tiempo fue que la aerolínea perdió nuestro equipaje y no queríamos volver sin él. Otra cosa que supimos hoy es que una de nuestras maletas estaba en Madrid, ¿y llamaron al hotel? Ni siquiera nos llamaron. ¿Qué más puedo decir? He viajado por todo el mundo, he visto mucho, pero nunca algo tan malo. Insultante, arrogante y todo lo demás.

Don’t stay here if you value sleep

WiFi was good. Room was good. Good bed, shower, safe and fridge. Plenty of clothes hangers. On the down side there is a charge for the water, which seems a bit stingy.

Breakfast was ok.

Service was not great, no showing you to your room or any of that customer service. One time at breakfast my bread was stuck in the toaster and the tall waiter dismissively pointed at the tongs and rolled his eyes at me. The tongs were metal and putting metal tongs in a toaster is asking for trouble. It was a normal household toaster, not one of the fancy hotel conveyor belt ones. The same thing happened to a woman the next morning. I purposely say the tall waiter, as the shorter one with the earring was a nice man.

The worst part of this hotel is the street noise. My room was a balcony room at the front. Don’t make the same mistake I did (and I paid extra for that type of room!)

Was not able to get to sleep until 4am. Constant shouting outside, a few doors down there was a yapping dog and there’s a big light above the bedroom door that can’t be turned off. I asked to swap rooms after the first night and the receptionist with the bullring in her nose was very dismissive, saying it was exceptional circumstance last night.

I wish I’d played it safe and stayed at one of the big hotel chains. I wouldn’t stay here again for free.

I really hate to do a negative review because I believe sometimes you happen to catch an employee on a bad day or maybe something was missed on a given day. I do not believe that was the case with this property. We had to go to the sister property next door to get access to the property where we'd made a reservation. That in itself is inconvenient enough after traveling all day but there was no signage advising me of that setup. When we finally got to the room it smelled of sewage. We checked out 15 minutes after we checked in. When I went to check out, the woman working the desk simply checked me out; she didn't ask if there was a problem or anything she could do to fix the situation (although realistically there probably wasn't). That dynamic led me to believe that this is something they're used to having happen which, to me, is not a good sign. If I could say anything positive about the hotel / my experience it would be the property did not make it difficult to receive a refund.

Advantages/Disadvantages of Dragom

Staff is very nice, room is not small not big, windows of the room are filmed and not openable, you feel a bit prisoner. Bathroom which is a part of the room doesnt have a privacy even you are in couple. It doesnt have noise or smell isolation which is not ideal. Location is more than perfect. You can stay there in Madrid for its price and its location for a short therm, not very bad.

Good hotel but rooms not practical.

The hotel was convenient and clean and the staff very helpful but the room was not designed practically;
Nowhere to hang a towel while in the shower so you come out soaking and have to walk across the carpet for a towel to dry yourself.
No hot drink facility in the room and as there was often no-one on reception I had to wander the streets looking for a takeaway.
The place to hang clothes is designed for men's clothes and short items. I had to hang my long dresses on a hook separately.

Great location, nice place, but…

Great location on the Cava Baja and a really charming space, including a good restaurant. The problem was an AC unit that was blowing arctic air onto the bed, which had only a thin sheet with no blankets in the room. It was 107 degrees in Madrid, so we needed AC, but this split unit was ridiculous and it would not adjust, no matter what temp I set it to, and led to a pretty uncomfortable and sleepless first night. I told the woman at the front desk, but she insisted there was nothing wrong with the unit and took pains to explain at some length the rudiments of AC. I asked for a blanket, which you’d think was a simple request and solution, but got a lot of resistance for reasons I didn’t understand. She told me they only had a ¨Nordics¨ and held her hand to indicate it was too thick for the season. I said it didn’t matter if it was thick, but she really didn’t want to give us a blanket. She suggested we just open the window — not an option either for the heat or the noise that would come into a street-facing room on a Friday night in the wonderfully social Cava Baja. Eventually, after quite a lot of back and forth that carried into the evening, she finally agreed to bring the “Nordic,” which was just a regular duvet cover. I didn’t get the whole interaction, which just seemed unnecessary. A four-star hotel should have blankets available — in the room let alone on request. It was a disservice to an otherwise really nice place.

The property was cramped up and quite small in size than they show in pictures. All the pictures show a room with a huge window but in reality, the rooms have no window and are very claustrophobic.
Privacy is also a major concern. The rooms on the lower floor open right into the restaurants (so crazy!), so its quite noisy with either people talking or servers setting up the table.

I did not end up staying at the hotel even though it was pre-paid. The room was on the first level. You had to walk through the restaurant and then the room was in the corner at the back of the restaurant. It seemed like an odd location for a room. The room was dark, noisy, the surfaces were filled with dust and did not appear to be well kept. I decided for comfort it was not worth staying and moved to another hotel.
