The Property — Exe Madrid Norte
Exe Madrid Norte is a functional, no-nonsense three-star business hotel north of the city centre, close to the A-1 motorway and IFEMA convention centre. The lobby is clean, modern and bright with a small bar-lounge area, aimed at travellers who need a reliable base for work or transit rather than charm. It suits conference-goers, drivers and anyone prioritising good-value comfort over location buzz.
Chronicles of Madrid
Madrid was founded in the 9th century as a Moorish fortress called Mayrit, later conquered by Christian forces in 1085. It became the Spanish capital in 1561 under Philip II, prompting the construction of grand plazas and royal palaces, including the Palacio Real. The 18th and 19th centuries saw the expansion of the iconic Paseo del Prado and the creation of the Prado Museum. Today the city balances a deep historical core with a dynamic contemporary culture defined by late-night tapas bars, world-class galleries and a fiercely independent local identity.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Exe Madrid Norte, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on floors 2 to 5 facing the interior courtyard if available. These mid-floors avoid street-level noise and the lift-hall bustle near the ground floor, while still being easily reachable by the single elevator.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the 1st floor (street level above ground) facing Calle Mallorca. Rooms near the lift shaft on any floor will also suffer from mechanical noise. Do not accept a room overlooking the rear service area unless necessary.
Best views
The best view is from a south-facing room on floor 4 or 5, looking over Calle Mallorca towards the Saba car park and local rooftops. No special landmarks visible; it's a functional cityscape.
Quietest floors
Floors 2 to 5 are quietest. The lift serves all floors and traffic diminishes above ground level, but upper floors (6+) may get afternoon heat and roof ventilation hum.
🔊 Noise notes
Calle Mallorca is a main boulevard with constant bus and taxi traffic from early morning until late evening. The adjacent Saba public car park entrance at 357 generates vehicle reversing sounds and exhaust fumes. There is a small bar on the ground floor which may have low music until midnight.
Insider tips
1. For parking, book Saba Mallorca car park in advance via its website to guarantee a space and avoid the €25 daily walk-up rate. It's a two-minute walk. 2. If you arrive by metro, use the 'Mallorca' exit from Glòries station (L1) – it's a 400m walk straight along Carrer de Mallorca. 3. Request a room away from the lift shaft when booking – the front desk can note it.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
