8/10 Very good

Best roof deck in Madrid. The 6th floor bar lounge is beautiful with a south facing patio (we were there for New Years). Above the bar is a spacious and varied roof deck with views, private shaded areas, fountains; jaw dropping. We had some trouble checking in. There was no one to tell us that reception was on the 6th floor, and weirdly, no signs. The bed was comfortable but the pillows were more body size than head pillow. The staff were very good a finding us a table for New Years dinner but unfortunately the set menu was light on gluten free options, so we never ate at the restaurant.
