Expert review of Chic&basic Atocha
Cool design with mod cons and no nonsense in Madrid.
Great design doesn’t have to mean astronomical prices. I stayed here a few months ago and can’t think of any drawbacks. It had everything I needed, with no unnecessary frills. Don't be put off by the one-star rating - chic&basic hotels just don't fit the rather outmoded Spanish classification system.
Location:
Right by the Reina Sofia museum and Atocha train and metro station, and close to the bars of the Santa Ana area. I walked everywhere during my stay.
Bedrooms:
The 36 rooms (one suitable for disabled guests) are brilliant white with a splash of vivid red or lime green here and there, with great beds and showers, and free WiFi. What more do you want? One thing I really like about chic&basic hotels is that they always have firm as well as fluffy pillows, making it comfortable to sit on the bed and read or work.

Public areas:
The roof terrace has great views across the old town, and has a sundeck with loungers and a shower for cooling off. There are computers in the lobby if you don’t have yours with you.
Eating and drinking:
The ‘help yourself’ area in the lobby means you can make yourself a cup of tea or coffee, get some water, or grab a snack whenever you fancy – at no extra charge. How great is that in a hotel where you’re not paying an arm and a leg to stay there? Breakfast - consisting of a croissant, apple and juice, or something similar – is left hanging on your door in a bag for when you happen to get up and is included in the room rate.
Service:
The young friendly staff are helpful and professional.
