Eric Vokel Boutique Apartments is a chain of apartment style hotels in Madrid & Barcelona. There are different names for each location, and this one is the Madrid Suites.
Located in the center of popular tourist spots in the bustling city of Madrid, it's the perfect place to stay if you're a tourist! Especially since the metro station is less than 3 minutes walk away just down the block, so convenient!
The guy at the front reception desk was incredibly friendly, approachable and helpful. Since we arrived before check-in time, he let us store our luggage in their available lockers so we wouldn't have to lug it around for hours (check-in time is normally at 3pm but if the room is checked out by the previous guest on time he assured us it would be ready by 1:30pm for no extra charge). How awesome is that?! :) He also took the time to show us the metro and city maps, along with giving us recommendations of places to see. They were legit suggestions and many were the same places we had already planned on visiting - such as El Rastro flea market.
Walking into our room me and my friend were pleased beyond words. Our room had been upgraded from two twin beds to 1 King bed AND two twin beds! Incredibly clean, modern with a super cute vibe. The small balcony lets you have an awesome view of the streets below, especially since we are on the 3rd floor. Bathroom and kitchen area were immaculate and beautifully designed. Kitchenware is fully provided - pots, pans, silverware, cups and wine glasses. Big fridge, microwave, toaster all included! Living room area has a nice comfy couch and flat screen TV. It's literally like a brand new apartment ready for you to live comfortably in, only better because it's a hotel!
Affordable prices too, around $190 for two nights. This is my first time in Spain, and the first hotel experience which definitely exceeded my expectations.
Pictures to come after I'm back in the states!
