Meliá Avenida América

“Super friendly staff, good experience.”

Good experience! Superfriendly staff , very tasty breakfast . With public transport , you can be in the center in 30 minutes (bus number 146).The room was clean and comfortable , bathroom was quite big. They are offering a mini van to pick you up from the airport , which is really good.

“Great Stay Near Airport”

The hotel had high standards for the rooms furnishings, staff and restaurants. The shuttle service to the airport made our 1 night stay very convenient.

The hotel had high standards for the rooms furnishings, staff and restaurants. The shuttle service to the airport made our 1 night stay very convenient. The breakfast buffet costs 20 euros but had a great selection of high quality foods. For dinner, we walked 20 min to a nearby area that had many restaurants to choose from. The only negative was that the room that we had booked had a very small window placed high near the ceiling. This made the room feel very closed in. The other twin room that we booked was more spacious and bright.

“Great service, good value. Walls are paper thin”

Comfortable, stylish, excellent multilingual service. Free transfers to the airport. Good, but expensive food. Very noisy - walked are like paper. Unfortunately I'm listening to a group of adults and adolescents making a huge noise in the hallway as I type. Our first stay, I could hear our neighbor… more

Unfortunately I'm listening to a group of adults and adolescents making a huge noise in the hallway as I type. Our first stay, I could hear our neighbor humming - such a weird experience! Bathrooms smell of mold.

“Okay stay for an early morning flight, but wouldn't book again”

We stayed at the Meliá Avenida América the night before our flight back to the states, mostly because the hotel offers a free airport shuttle and we had points that would cover the cost of lodging.

We stayed at the Meliá Avenida América the night before our flight back to the states, mostly because the hotel offers a free airport shuttle and we had points that would cover the cost of lodging. Pros - The hotel is close to Barajas and it only took about 10 minutes to get there in the 8am shuttle. We ate dinner at the restaurant and the food was good and servers at the bar very friendly. Front desk staff also very friendly and helpful and breakfast was plentiful and good. Cons - the hotel hallways and rooms felt more like an office building and less like a hotel. I guess this is fine if you're there on business, which most people seemed to be, but it felt a little off the mark for us. Also, all lights in the hallways were motion activated so when you get off the elevator you walk out into a dark hallway. Lights come on pretty quickly but when I walked up to our room alone, it felt a little creepy. The bed was definitely on the firm side and we both slept about as well as anyone does the night before an early flight. The thing I liked the least about this hotel was the bathroom. They've installed faux wood flooring in the rooms, including the bathroom, and ours was warped and bumpy. It also smelled of urine, so much so that I wore my shoes every time i went into the bathroom. The hallways and our room also smelled faintly of cigarettes. The hotel served the purpose of being close to the airport and getting us there on time, but if we fly out of Madrid again, we'll choose a different place to stay.
