Only You Hotel Atocha, Madrid

Pros

• If you're catching an early train or arriving by train at a later hour, this hotel has the perfect location just across the street from Atocha.
• You'll also be at the edge of Retiro Park and the Botanical Gardens, plus within walking distance of sites like the Literary Quarter, El Rastro flea market, and Plaza Mayor.
• Enjoy unique hotel conveniences, like an onsite barbershop, parking, a 24-hour gym, and a relaxation room filled with plants.
• The hotel has two restaurants, one with a rooftop bar and terrace and the other one set in the lobby with an Asian fusion menu.

Cons

• Because you're across from Atocha, the views aren't the best. 

Authenticity

Set in a historic building on Paseo Infanta Isabel that once functioned as a pseudo-market hall, the renovated space pays homage to its past with a few unique elements. Enjoy vintage tiling, ironwork, industrial lighting, glass walls, and fun quirks like a breakfast served out of a hut and an onsite barbershop.

Location

Enjoy the convenience of being right across the street from Atocha train station while still being able to walk to important sites, including the Botanical Gardens, El Retiro Park, Neptune Fountain, and the Literary Quarter. You'll also be across from the metro if you want to zip across the city a bit faster.

Rooms & Bathrooms

The hotel offers deluxe rooms, premium rooms, and suites, all offering bright, cozy, and colorful spaces. All units also channel that raw feel with exposed brick walls, dark-wood furniture, and industrial lighting. The bathrooms, however, can feel a little too vintage and could possibly use just a light refresh. 

Amenities

Enjoy breakfast on an outdoor terrace, relax in the plant-filled lounge, and work off any jetlag at the well-equipped 24-hour gym. Although you won’t find a spa or wellness center on the property, in-room massages can be arranged. If you arrive by car, you can use the paid on-site parking, which has electric vehicle charging stations. The hotel is wheelchair-friendly, with seven adapted rooms with raised toilets, grab rails, and lowered sinks; there is also an elevator. 

Family-Friendliness

The hotel is more popular with adult travelers, especially couples, but families with children are welcome. Children under four get to stay for free, and the hotel can offer baby cribs, high chairs, and even bottle warmers. Extra beds can requested for older children at an extra fee for select rooms. There are no activities that specifically cater to kids. 

Other Highlights

Besides the quirky bakery stand for breakfast and onsite barbershop inspired by 1960s decor, you'll also find a food truck bar and Asian fusion restaurant in the lobby, plus the restaurant and bar, Sép7ima.
