10.0Fantastic room, great rooftop bar.
Am besten gefallenWe stayed here for 3 nights in a Deluxe superior king with view and boy did it have a view!! Our bed was huge and very comfortable. I had emailed ahead and asked to have a quiet room to which they provided as we were nowhere near any of the lifts and we heard hardly any noise apart from the sirens outside. The room was clean and very spacious. The only gripe we had was the bathroom light came on automatically when someone walked into it, which was annoying at 2 am when someone got up to go to the toilet. The breakfast like many people have commented was one of the best we’ve ever had selection wise. We visited at approximately 8am and had no issue having a table or going to the areas that we wanted to get food from. The only time we had issues waiting for a lift were at these peak times, but other than that we found the lift system very easy and only waited a couple of minutes . We went to the rooftop bar every day and we greeted immediately and shown to a table straight away . Each time we visited, we were placed in a different part of the bar which actually was quite nice as it gave us a different view each time. The couple of times we visited in the day we were not asked to pay the bill straight away but at night time you could see this ramped up but this was not a problem to us and in no way were we rushed or made to feel like the table was required. The service I felt was spot-on.. the drinks prices I thought were very reasonable especially if we were to visit the same kind of bar in London we would be looking at at least 50% more plus service charge!! we quite enjoyed watching people pose in the most ridiculous fashion for their photos but then this was also frustrating when all I wanted was a quick basic photo on the bridge. We ordered a pizza from the roof top bar, which was one of the most cheesiest pizzas I’ve ever had in my life but delicious. I’ve included some photos which hopefully people will find helpful. We stayed in Madrid last may in an Airbnb. But this time returned to the Riu which we did not regret and would 100% stay here again. The weekend we stayed was in fact Spanish bank holiday weekend which we were not aware of which made the area and all the popular parts extremely busy so the rooftop bar was a perfect escape.
