Please pay attention to my written comments more than my rating. We spent 3 nights at this hotel in February, 2024. I've stayed in some Exe properties before and found them to usually be slightly below their parent namesake Eurostars. But this hotel was close to the train station and I was planning an early day trip to El Escorial on the train so that helped tip the scales for me. The hotel is nice. It's just not very close to anything beside the train. Including restaurants. We always ate dinner either inside or just outside the walls of the old town. The walk wasn't too much of a distance for us (we usually walk 8-10 miles per day in Spain) but would probably be too far for a lot of people. Plus it was raining for part of our time so the walk wasn't nearly as comfortable as it might otherwise be. So bottom line... Hotel--nice. Location--not as nice (except for train).
