We recently stayed at Hampton Alcobendas for three nights (Jun 9-12) while visiting a friend who lived in the area. It’s a 10 min taxi ride from the airport (€20 approx). We Ubered it on the way back which cost €14. Uber arrived at hotel within 5 mins of being ordered. Staff at check in were friendly and helpful, the rooms were comfortable, the comfy bed was huge and the (included) breakfast was good and filled a gap for most of the day. For some reason the pool wasn’t open until my last day, and it was 36-40 degrees! (My mate seemed to think that was to do with local laws, because all the other pools in the area were also closed. No idea if this was true or not). An elderly American lady was giving one of the reception guys a hard time about the pool being closed when I arrived. Not sure why, it wasn’t like it was his fault. The pool was small (but adequate) it was very “concrete” though and in my opinion could do with some greenery around it to make it more appealing. Bar prices were reasonable for a hotel bar, €3 for a small draft and €6 for a large one. There is a very limited bar menu during the day and a slightly extended one at night, food was ok, nothing special, much better to be had out and about. I was surprised to find it busy returning after 11:30pm on all three nights I was there. Good place for a night cap. The wifi was excellent and since my company has now said we can “work from home anywhere in the world” for a couple of weeks a year (yeah I know, strange!) I’m seriously considering coming back here at some point. All in all this is a comfortable business hotel, close to the airport but with no real Spanish character. I stayed in another Hampton in Berlin a couple of months ago and this looks exactly the same. Not a criticism, it is what it is and did the job for me. Thought the reception staff all spoke great English, were friendly, very helpful and an asset to this hotel. Maybe not ideal for a visit for the centre of Madrid but it was handy for me. I’d happily stay here again. Iain, London

We stayed here to break the long journey from southern to northern Spain, and it was just what we needed. The room was immaculate, and just a bit different to other hotel rooms - a little quirky, which was nice. There was a kettle with tea and coffee ( a real bonus for a Spanish hotel), as well as a fridge, a safe, an iron and a 'real' hairdryer, not one stuck to the wall. The shower room was fantastic - very clean, modern and bright with a large shower enclosure and very non-slip shower tray. Although the toiletries were in dispensers (a pet hate of mine), there was separate shower gel, shampoo and conditioner, not just an all-in-one, as well as some lovely moisturiser. There were even flannels and tissues. For a 'budget' hotel, we were very impressed. There are a couple of EV chargers in the basement carpark which are free to use, but you have to pay 9.50 to park down there, and it's tricky to get a big car down there. Otherwise the parking around the hotel itself, and out on the street is free. Just a couple of things let it down a bit - you can get snacks from the bar - pizzas, burgers, toasties etc which was adequate, but not exciting. Also there was not much selection at breakfast and the hot food wasn't hot. The soundproofing wasn't good, doors opening and closing loudly and hearing people walking down the corridor was annoying. However, all the staff we met were very friendly and helpful. We would most definitely stay there again, and would certainly look at staying at other Hampton by Hilton hotels in the future, based on our experience in Alcobendas.
