Catalonia Goya is in the Salamanca neighborhood of Madrid. Nice, safe, quiet area but a bit far from the City Centre. The metro is right outside but we did a lot of walking. Lots of shops around and about a 7 min walk to Mercado de La Paz. Rooms were renovated, clean and medium sized. Appreciated the coffee machine, kettle, tea and other amenities. We traveled with my father who has a wheelchair and the adapted room was roomy with built in shower seat and pull down arm for support by the toilet. Note you will have to take a 2nd set of elevators to get to the accessible room. Room 201 had issues with the air conditioner. It was only blowing hot air. The hotel sent someone to fix it, but it wasn’t fixed during our stay. Would have been nice for the hotel to offer another room or at least to be compensated in some way. Luckily, opening the window helped but my parents had a hard time sleeping because it was uncomfortably stuffy. Expected more since this hotel was costly. Our other 2 rooms were excellent with a nice view of the street and church. Nice sound proof windows, working AC in our rooms made for a comfortable stay for us. If my parents had working AC, I would have given this hotel a 5/5. Special thanks to Isias and Lucia at the front desk for speedy check in and Juan in maintenance for trying to fix the AC. And the cleaning staff who were respectful and greeted us every morning.
