Room Mate Óscar

A 75-room design hotel on Plaza de Pedro Zerolo in the heart of Chueca — Madrid's LGBTQ+-friendly nightlife district — built around bright colour, bold furniture, and a genuinely great rooftop.

What it's like

Room Mate Óscar leans fully into playful, colourful design rather than classic luxury — mirrored ceilings, neon lighting accents, and quirky furniture throughout the 75 rooms. The headline feature is the rooftop: a seasonal pool (open roughly June to September), Balinese day beds, and a 360-degree terrace bar that's genuinely popular with non-guests too, which means it can get busy and loud, especially on weekend evenings.

Location

Right on Plaza de Pedro Zerolo in Chueca, two minutes from Gran Vía and well within walking distance of Sol — see our Malasaña & Chueca guide for what the neighbourhood itself is like.

Who it suits

Travellers who want to be in the middle of Madrid's nightlife and don't mind noise, and specifically LGBTQ+ travellers looking for a well-known, welcoming stay in the city's Chueca district. Less suited to a quiet family trip or anyone sensitive to street and rooftop-bar noise, since the terrace stays lively into the night.

Good to know

Rooftop pool access is seasonal and sometimes carries an extra charge or limited capacity — worth confirming at check-in rather than assuming it's automatically included.
