To round out our Moroccan journey, I decided early on that my I should make a stop in Madrid right after leaving Tangier. The way I planned this layover was spectacular and choosing Room Mate Collection Alba, turned out to be the perfect fit.
Alba feels like a super charming petit hotel. The dramatic middle staircase splits into a left and right staircase that catches your eye real quick. From the elevator button panels to the room direction signs on each floor, the Art Deco-inspired design details are seen throughout the hotel, giving it a stylish feel.
Our rooms ranged in size- some with two twin beds, the room I shared with my aunties had two full beds and my younger cousin had a room with a full-size bed. Each room had all the essential amenities, but it was the beds that truly stood out. The beds had crisp, bright white linens and were so plush- they made our overnight stay feel lux and comfy.
Alba's location couldn’t have been better. After checking in around 5:00 p.m., we were able to map out almost everything we wanted to see and do within walking distance. Being right in the heart of Madrid made it easy to soak in the city’s energy, wander around the cobblestone streets and truly make the most of our short stay. To top it all off, the front desk staff was awesome. A special thank you to Marcos and the entire team for their genuine hospitality.
