Ibis Madrid Fuenlabrada

I booked this location without much research or thought due to a mistake of someone else. As such, I had no expectations about the hotel. First, if your intention is to be close to Madrid, this is NOT the location for you. It’s far and when traffic hits, it’s a very long drive. Being an Ibis, things are basic and the room was absolutely so. As always with an ibis, the bed is comfortable and the shower stall small and yhis hotel was no exception. All cleaning was done daily and my towels changed so no complaint on that score. The breakfast was basic but filling. If you’re a non pork or beef eater like me, your choice becomes extremely limited. You have to pay for your water and €2 for a half a litre of water seems excessive but when you need water, it’s Hobson’s Choice. The Wi-Fi was fast and the connection stable so this was a much needed feature especially since there’s ABSOLUTELY NO English programming on the TV. Even if you want to catch up on the news, you’re totally out of luck! Given that I need to transit via the UAE on my return journey, not having CNN or BBC on TV and in English is a serious problem. In conclusion, if you’re Spanish or can speak/understand Spanish, this hotel is fine but if you can’t speak the language, I’d recommend you avoid this hotel

Spacious room, comfy bed, close to the motorway

Close to my locations of interest in Getafe and Fuenlabrada. Breakfast is better than usually in such price range

If you don't smoke, look for another option. The hotel smells like a cigar room. We stayed there for 4 days and on a lot of occasions we'd walk around the corridors and notice a person had just smoked there. The room ALWAYS smelled like there was someone smoking there, even when there was no such smell in the hallway, there was in the room. Me and my wife tried to find out why, if it was the central heating, smoke entering through doors, we don't know... we would not return, at all.

The air-conditioning wasn't working it was very hot and uncomfortable

We like the bed it's comfortable but the pillow is more soft for us but it's ok.
