Based on a little pre-trip research, 1862 Dry Bar was on my must-do list for a recent business trip…read moreto Madrid. I visited on a rainy Thursday night so there wasn't a large crowd and I grabbed an open seat at the end of the bar. A friendly gentleman gave me a menu and asked what I was interested in. When I mentioned the Old Fashioned, he advised that it was an Amaro-based version without the usual bourbon/whiskey spirit. I noticed a Brooklyn and commented that I sometimes made those at home. Very politely he noted that if I was making them in the US, it wasn't with Amer Picon, which isn't available in the US. He's right. So an actual, real Brooklyn it would be! I thoroughly enjoyed the Brooklyn. I also enjoyed some brief conversation with the bartender who was very good. The kind who uses the spoon or straw to taste each drink to ensure it was made properly. As I was paying my bill and mentioning to the gentleman who initially greeted me that I wanted to bring my business partners here later in the week, he wrote his phone number on a business card and told me to call him in advance as the bar got very busy when it wasn't raining. Turns out, this friendly man is Alberto the owner! Guess I didn't do quite as much research as I could have! I regret we weren't able to make a second visit to 1862 Dry Bar on this particular trip, but it is going to be my first stop next time I'm back in Madrid. Great vibe, excellent staff and a classy and friendly owner.

Being English, there is little chance of my team ever winning the World Cup. But having moved to…read moreSpain, I figured this year I was guaranteed a little reflected glory. Sadly, it was not to be. After the tragedy of Spain-Chile, we needed a pick me up; specifically, mojitos. A friend suggested Metropolitan, which was quite close, so we decided to give it a try. I can't exactly put my finger on what type of bar it is - a bit trendy, a bit divey - but they certainly knock out a good mojito! Also, major props for the fact that they stock about ten different bottled craft beers, which include a couple from the Madrid-based La Virgen. Service was friendly. The bar was relatively quiet for the night before a holiday, but I suspect that after the football result the Madrileños didn't feel like partying.

I am writing this at 3am as it's the last drop for me having a hard time sleeping here, the bed is…read morehard and it's not for 2 people, it's a bit bigger than a twin bed. Started with us having to change rooms upon arrival from a long flight because the bath tub didn't work properly. It wasn't an easy process since they tried to convince us to "just take showers instead". Er... no. We are tired and sick and we paid for a room with a working tub. Nobody offered to carry our bags from the start and they tried their best not change our room but we stood our ground. In the new room the bath tub also doesn't work properly but whatever we were able to make it work manually in order to have a bath full of water without leaking. The bathroom has no towel warmer, the bath is super slippery and dangerous I almost slipped twice even tho I was using the safety mat provided by the hotel which poorly fits the tub. Ours is a very outdated room and it's honestly the WORST bed I've ever tried to sleep in my life, my husband and I are not big people! We are tall but not wide, we can't barely fit in the bed and it's hard like a table!! Tho the service was great, the food at the bar was not good, nothing we ordered tasted fresh, even tho we ordered local dishes, it just doesn't feel like a 5 star hotel at all here. I stayed at intercontinental hotel in Porto march of this year and the experience was completely different. I'm so disappointed and feel like I would have had better sleep, saved my $ had a more comfortable stay at a Hilton or even a Marriot courtyard but now it's too late and we have to suck it up because we only have a little over a couple more days here in Europe. My advice: don't stay here!

I am sure I sound like the ugly American tourist but when I think kid friendly I think toddlers and strollers and ease of mobility. It was loud and crowded with a confusing ordering system.
