I'm
not
so
often
writing
reviews
for
hotels,
but
oh
my,
please
allow
me
to
transport
you
to
the
wondrous
journey
that
was
our
stay
at
the
"Hotel
Fiasco"
in
Madrid.
An
experience
so
memorable
that
we
felt
compelled
to
share,
so
that
others
may
also
glimpse
the
wonders
that
await.
We,
four
intrepid
adventurers
eager
to
explore
the
amusement
parks
of
Madrid,
lodged
ourselves
in
this
monument
to
hospitality
for
three
nights.
The
package
included
a
breakfast
which,
in
all
fairness,
should
have
been
classified
as
"small"
not
by
the
amount
of
food
offered,
but
by
the
quality
of
it.
For
a
modest
sum
of
15
euros
per
day,
we
had
the
unique
opportunity
to
taste
bread
worthy
of
Pharaoh
Tutankhamun
in
his
tomb,
accompanied
by
cakes
and
croissants
that
would
make
a
rock
seem
soft.
Let's
not
forget
the
fruit,
so
ripe
that
they
could
tell
stories
of
when
they
were
just
tiny
seeds.
In
a
sublime
demonstration
of
irony,
there
was
a
grocery
store
across
the
road,
where
fresh
fruit
and
crisp
bread
were
sold
at
reasonable
prices.
Apparently,
the
hotel
decided
to
save
its
energies
in
this
area,
preferring
to
focus
on
other
aspects.
Oh,
what
joy!
Strangely,
this
hotel
has
a
high
rating,
something
that
defies
logic
and
common
sense.
Perhaps
it
is
due
to
its
picturesque
location,
a
good
distance
from
the
Pinto
train
stop,
making
the
journey
to
the
city
center
and
Warner
Madrid
Park
an
adventure
in
itself.
But
let
me
share
the
true
highlight
of
our
stay:
the
charming
fragrance
emanating
from
our
bathrooms,
a
pungent
mix
of
old
plumbing
and
wear
and
tear.
This
was
so
intense
that
we
had
to
sleep
with
the
bathroom
doors
closed
and
the
windows
open,
making
every
night
a
truly
unforgettable
experience.
The
decor
of
the
rooms,
which
looked
appealing
in
the
photos,
in
reality
seemed
to
have
been
inspired
by
a
post-apocalyptic
fiction
novelist.
And
let's
not
forget
the
entrance
to
the
hotel,
which
was
basically
a
bazaar,
where
one
could
buy
everything
from
water
and
beer
to
posters,
clothes,
and
surprisingly,
even
the
hotel's
bath
towels...
It
seems
that
this
hotel
has
a
unique
marketing
strategy,
geared
towards
parents
of
children
who
can't
say
"no"
to
their
little
creatures.
Of
the
few
things
I
can
honestly
praise,
the
room
cleaning
service
was
impeccable,
and
the
cleaning
lady
was
a
true
ray
of
sunshine.
The
shower
in
our
so-called
"luxury"
room
(room,
which
cost
an
extra,
of
course)
was
also
decent.
Mattresses
softness
was
on
the
right
point
while
we
can't
say
the
same
about
the
pillows.
Still
these
small
positive
points
were
not
enough
to
overshadow
the
downsides.
In
summary,
our
stay
was
a
unique
experience,
but
not
in
the
way
we
expected.
It's
a
shame
that
our
money
was
spent
in
this
way,
and
I
strongly
recommend
that
everyone
consider
other
options
before
committing
to
this
establishment.
The
next
time
we
visit
Spain,
we
will
certainly
read
the
negative
reviews
more
carefully
before
making
our
choice.
Oh,
how
I
wish
I
could
say
that
the
Hotel
Fiasco
was
a
luxury
experience,
but
the
only
luxury
here
seemed
to
be
the
extra
space
and
the
mini
sofa
in
our
second
and
more
"luxurious"
room.
The
room's
decor,
which
in
the
photos
seemed
to
have
been
taken
from
an
interior
design
magazine,
in
reality
was
as
inspiring
as
a
plate
of
dry
bread,
fruits
and
dry
cakes.
And
then
there's
the
location.
Ah,
the
location!
Far
enough
from
Pinto
station
to
make
each
trip
an
adventure
and
close
enough
to
the
grocery
store
to
remind
us
daily
of
what
we
could
have
had
for
breakfast.
But,
in
the
end,
perhaps
we
should
thank
Hotel
Fiasco.
After
all,
it
taught
us
a
valuable
lesson:
always
read
the
negative
reviews
before
choosing
a
hotel.
And
to
future
travelers
who
may
be
considering
this
place,
I
only
have
one
thing
to
say:
think
well,
think
twice,
think
three
times.
And
then,
perhaps,
consider
sleeping
in
a
tent.
It
will
likely
be
just
as
comfortable
and
certainly cheaper.
