NH Madrid Barajas Airport
NH Madrid Barajas Airport is the sensible mid-price pick in the Barajas district: a free shuttle, long-stay parking, and a metro station two minutes from the door. It stands in a quiet residential area beside El Capricho park, with pharmacies, a supermarket and restaurants around it. That’s rarer than it sounds among airport hotels.
Guest Rooms
All 173 rooms face outward, so every one gets natural light. Expect hardwood floors, air conditioning, free Wi-Fi and a tea and coffee station with espresso capsules. Some standard rooms run small; the Superior category buys more space, and an extra bed fits where families need one.
Standard room amenities include:
- Air conditioning
- Coffee and tea station
- Desk
- Hair dryer
- TV
- Wi-Fi
Breakfast and Dining
The breakfast buffet is broad, with made-to-order hot dishes, and an early-bird option covers first flights. The in-house restaurant serves Spanish cooking at lunch and dinner from Monday to Friday, and the bar handles light meals the rest of the time. A coffee corner on the ground floor rounds it out. If the restaurant is closed, several eateries are within a five-minute walk.
Facilities and Services
There’s a basement gym, a small outdoor pool that opens in summer, and electric-vehicle charging at 7 kW. Long-stay parking is the quiet strength: leave the car, shuttle to the terminal, and pay less than airport parking. The front desk runs 24 hours.
