Hotel Review: Santo Mauro, Madrid, April 2013

It's Curbappeal:
- Beautiful elegant building
- Pretty garden to relax in
- Located in wealthy residential district
- Calming & exclusive vibe

Crowd: Largely couples, aged 30+ but most very glam/elegant

Food Rating: we only ate breakfast & was disappointing.

Our room: 17 (superior room). Not in main building but in quiet 'stables' styled building. Room opened straight onto quiet courtyard. Large long room with separate dressing area & large bathroom (separate rooms for toilet & shower). Room style was classically elegant & relaxing colours (beige & brown furniture & walls)

Anything we didn't like:
- Breakfast was very mediocre (scrambled eggs were dry & museli came in small Kellogg's packets) - we'd expected more of a five star hotel
- No vanity kits in the rooms (cotton wool etc) nor available when asked
- Eur13 for large bottle of Perrier water to the room with eur5 charge for delivery!

The bill: not too bad (apart from room service bill as mentioned above)

Recommended: definitely - already planning our return stay
