Excellent quality with fresh, abundant hot and cold options including cured meats, cheeses, eggs, fruits, gluten-free selections; costs €18-22 per person when not included; considered good value but pricey relative to nearby cafes charging €2

Local knowledge

Request an interior courtyard room if noise sensitivity; these rooms avoid street traffic despite being on busy Gran Via
Breakfast is good but expensive at €18-22 per person; excellent cafe across the street serves quality breakfast for €2
Rooftop pool and bar close at 6-8pm seasonally; plan evening drinks accordingly
