room en madrid pacifico

The room was quiet and clean.

Acceptable accommodations, great water pressure and temp…but beyond that the host was very unhelpful. Most places send you instructions the day of arrival. Crickets from Julissa. After I called, she sent a 5mb VIDEO! Still have not downloaded it because of the slow phone service. Who wants to use that much data for simple directions! So I call her AGAIN and she keeps saying she opened the door but she doesn’t bother telling me the street address until later on in the conversation. (I was trying the door at a defunct hostel a block away) Once in the building, she repeatedly tells me to go up to the 3rd floor, but never bothered to tell me WHICH ROOM on the third floor. I call AGAIN and she refers me to the video. No less than 4 calls to get proper directions! REALLY BAD communicator - probably the worst in my experience on Booking dot com. Julissa seemed distracted and uninterested in being helpful. Just look at the listing title- NO effort! Also, no local recommendations or tips - nothing! Very low effort from the host. Also, they have a blinding motion sensor light that goes on and off until 2am then starts again at 5am. Don’t expect to get any rest. No blinds either. If you have no alternative but to stay there, the street number is 42, door number is 14 on the third floor. (Recite this to future guests, Julissa. It’s THAT simple!) Mods, feel free to delete that last paragraph. Something tells me they are secretive about this listing location because it’s not permitted in this building. Part of me feels bad leaving this review because the room I was in belonged to a little girl. No one wants to deprive her parents of a little extra money, but, sheesh, host should try a little harder knowing this!

Use of Kitchen. Private Room with separate key lock. TV and WiFi. Nice Owner. Has an Elevator.

The apartment itself was tiny. Our room was fine for spending the one night with 2 beds for the 3 of us. We never saw the hosts which was fine as it could have been awkward due to tiny space. The building itself was very old but had a working elevator and the doorman was very nice. A bit far from the train station but close to metro. Breakfast was packaged stuff so we chose to eat later in a bar-restaurant.
