Apart-hotel in Carabanchel with a private bathroom, air conditioning and kitchen facilities; Madrid Río is 400 m away and Usera metro station is 500 m away.

Room types

The 126 offers three room categories: a 25 m² Deluxe Family Room for four people, an 18 m² Superior Double Room and a 16 m² Double Room with Private Bathroom, both for two guests. The units have a private bathroom with a shower, air conditioning, a flat-screen TV and a coffee machine. The family category combines a double bed and a sofa bed; both double rooms have a double bed.

A private entrance and washing machine are among the room facilities, along with a fridge, desk and toiletries. The coffee machine and kettle let you prepare drinks, while the microwave offers another way to heat food. The difference in floor area distinguishes the three options, with more space in the family room and more compact dimensions in the double rooms. This lets you choose between a layout for sharing as a family or a stay for two.
