The hotel adds a fitness centre, a lounge, a restaurant and bar and a 24-hour front desk. Family rooms and interconnected rooms are listed, and the family-friendly Italian restaurant serves vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options.

Our take
Urban Hive Madrid suits couples, friends and small families who want a rooftop pool and a bath without a five-star price, and it is at its best in the warm months when the roof is open. It does not suit travellers who want a large indoor spa for winter, because its water is on the roof and in the public bath. Swim in the late afternoon and walk to Gran Via afterwards.
- ✓Swim in the late afternoon and walk to Gran Via after
- ✓Ask about the public bath hours before you plan an evening
- ✓Book interconnected rooms if you travel with friends or family
Why we love it
- A rooftop pool with a sun terrace
- A public bath and a garden
- Gran Via 3 minutes away on foot
- A location rated 9.7 for a two-person trip
Why guests love itA stay here moves between the rooftop and the street. A morning heads to Gran Via, 3 minutes away, and onward to Plaza Mayor or the Royal Palace, while the afternoon returns to the rooftop pool and the sun terrace. The public bath and the garden give the evening a second shape before dinner in the Italian restaurant. Interconnected rooms keep groups together without sharing a space.
