We had such a relaxed and enjoyable stay at Sleep’n Atocha. The staff were nice, welcoming, and always friendly.
We were encouraged to complete the check-in online before our arrival, which made the process very smooth once we got to the hotel. As a bonus, we also received free drinks during our stay.
The lobby is beautifully decorated, with cosy and comfortable lighting. There are also plenty of games and books available in different languages, which creates a really welcoming atmosphere.
As for the room, it was clean and comfortable, and the bed was great. What I liked the most was the sound on the ceiling such a great and original touch! However, the room was a little small for two people with luggage, and it didn't have a minibar.
The location is excellent, with most of Madrid's main attractions within easy reach.
We also really enjoyed the breakfast. The team taking care of the breakfast area was super nice and attentive. It is a buffet with a good variety of food and drinks.
The only thing we didn't really appreciate was that the receptionist didn't tell us that we could access the rooftop at any time. We only found out about it on our last night, which was a little disappointing!
Overall, we highly recommend this hotel and would definitely choose Sleep’n Atocha again the next time we are in Madrid.
The best value around Atocha station.
Sleep’n has amazed me, and I am not the kind of customer who leaves reviews.
As a summary:
- Impeccably clean.
- Impeccably friendly.
- Impeccably comfortable.
The best place to stay in Madrid, especially if you’re looking for the Museums Golden Mile and/or traveling with high speed trains in Atocha.
100% recommended.
We stayed here for one night and it was absolutely wonderful. The room was very clean, the shower had excellent water pressure and we got free drinks for checking in online which was such a 10/10. The rooms are a bit small but if you’re only staying for a night or two its perfect, especially if you’re not planning on being in the room much.
Spent 3 nights in a balcony room. The good: location - near the art museums and next to the metro. Powerful AC. Good noise isolation. Very clean rooms. Good breakfast.
The OK: internet is reliable but lags a little. You have to reserve a breakfast slot and eat in 30 minutes as the public areas do not match guest capacity. Little weird you get charged to store your bags when your room is not yet ready.
The not so great: Room size. The rooms are tiny and spartan. No amenities of any kind. Shower, sink, and toilet are closet sized. Towels must last for 3 days and sheets five or you incur an extra charge. Great for a budget hotel but not at this price point.
Our stay at Sleep’N Atocha was overall a positive experience, mainly because of the hotel’s unique concept and great atmosphere. We really loved the environmentally friendly and planet-conscious idea behind the hotel, which made it feel modern and different from standard hotels.
The hotel also used several interesting technologies and thoughtful touches, including music in the rooms, which added to the experience. One of our favorite parts was the rooftop breakfast area — it was honestly one of the cutest breakfast settings of our trip. The breakfast selection itself was also very good with plenty of options. Another very nice touch was that complimentary coffees and teas were served in the afternoon.
The biggest downside was definitely the room size. The room was shockingly small, especially for travelers from North America staying for two weeks with two large suitcases. There was barely enough space to move around comfortably, hang clothes, store toiletries, or organize luggage properly.
Another small inconvenience was the breakfast scheduling system. You had to reserve your breakfast time in advance, which could be restrictive if you wanted to sleep in or keep your mornings flexible.
The location was very good for certain attractions. It was close to Retiro Park and the Prado Museum area, and there were many great restaurants within a 10–15 minute walk. However, it was about a 20-minute walk to some of the main central attractions and the more lively center of Madrid.
Overall, despite the very small rooms, we enjoyed our stay because of the hotel’s eco-friendly concept, thoughtful details, nice breakfast experience, and good neighborhood location.
We spent two nights at Hotel Atocha and had a wonderful experience. The location is incredibly convenient, being so close to the train station, which made our transit seamless.
The room was a decent size and very comfortable for our stay. However, the real highlights were the facilities and the perks:
• The hotel is well-maintained and offers a great atmosphere. Including lockers facility.
• Having free coffee , tea and drinks available was a fantastic touch that we really appreciated throughout the day.nice sit out area behind the reception was very warm with option to watch a movie night on the projector screen.
• The breakfast spread was impressive! There was a wide variety of options to choose from, and the fact that it was included made it even better.
Overall, it was a great stay with excellent value. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a convenient and hospitable place to stay in the area.
The hotel genuinely impressed me in several ways. Its location is excellent — perfectly central and convenient for exploring the city. The property was spotlessly clean throughout, and I was truly won over by the hotel's commitment to sustainability and its B Corp ethos. It's clear this is more than just a marketing angle; there's real conviction behind it.
The dealbreaker
Unfortunately, none of these positives could outweigh one glaring issue: the room size is simply not acceptable for the price. At over €200 per night, I was genuinely shocked when I walked into my room — I have never had to sleep in such a cramped space. At this price point, guests have every right to expect a basic level of comfort and space. This is not it.
We have been treated really badly. We booked a room for 3 persons (2 adult and a children 5 years old). On their website, all was ok but when we arrived we had only two single bed and no bed for the children. They ( the manager of the hotel) define himself that a children younger than 5 can sleep with his parent in the bed…
We try to discuss with the reception, they find a solution. But an hour later, the manager said no and claim us to pay additional fee… nothing free at SLEEP’N Atocha !!!
For 200€ per night, I have never been treated like that. I am sure there is much better.
About the room, it was really small and just good enough to sleep.
Only good point of this hotel is the good location but be careful it is very noisy outside during the night!
