Good location although not really near near a metro station. Located in a nice area with nice bars, you just walk up the hill and you are in the middle of it. Can only recommend it.
Stayed in the Carlton twice when it wasn't under the Marriott brand, so probably not fair to comment. Got robbed in the metro before even getting to the hotel so that whole area left a sour taste in my mouth, a lot of pick pokets around Atocha, especially in the metro, so watch out (regardless which hotel you choose)
So it's pretty bad for pick pockets in Madrid? or just that area
