Convenient location, quiet and nice overall

Close to all the major attractions, quiet, nice amenities and a decent view from the attic windows.

The AC seemed to struggle a bit in the larger room and the attic windows could use a wash.

Fabulous location in Madrid

The room was beautiful, and the view of the palace fantastic. From the moment the very friendly and professional Alina checked us in, all the staff were lovely. The room had everything we needed. The location was very central to walk wherever we wanted or to use the metro. We loved our stay at Hostal Central Palace.

For us, the beds were a little soft, but that is only our preference.

A memorable stay in a lovely locality. Recommend!

Very central overlooking the Royal Palace and gardens and a short walk to all the main restaurants, markets and shopping facilities as well as the Museums. We were upgraded to a very comfortable spacious room. The Staff were charming and very helpful.

Great location, friendly staff, and comfortable room

Couldn't have asked for a better location! Walkable to everything we wanted to do, and the receptionist was extremely friendly and helpful! Could literally see the palace from our window.

Some of the hardware (i.e. towel hooks) in the bathroom were not securely fastened, and if we were staying more than one night, we would have like to have more than 1 set of towels for each person. Really minor complaints in comparison to overall stay

Comfortable suite in the heart of beautiful Madrid

We stayed in the larger suite, overlooking the palace gardens. The location was fantastic, beside the Opera, where we had booked a show. Underground parking was very convenient directly in front of the hotel. Our picture shows the view from the window, overlooking the palace.

The hotel entrance is not obvious and requires navigating to a small door at the end of an entrance corridor in this shared building.

Why would you stay anywhere else?

We think the location is the very best in central Madrid. It is on the most beautiful plaza in the city and looks straight at the royal palace.

We had a top floor apartment which got a bit warm but the aircon was very effective. The top location means a higher price.

The Staff & location of this property is/are exceptional.

The location. The Staff.

The lift has limited carrying capacity. Stairs in the room, but probably unavoidable. Limited signage identifying property making it difficult to initially locate.

Fantastic location opposite the Royal Palace and surrounded by great restaurants serving delicious Spanish dishes. Super friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommended.

When booking request a room with an external view of the palace. While internal rooms are good they have no views other than the internal building well.

Couldn’t ask for a better place to be

Everything was perfect. The staff are incredibly attentive; the room was so spacious, bright and airy; comfortable bed; beautiful and opulent property; and the restaurant is to die for. No better place to be when in Madrid. Felt like a royal gazing upon the royal palace from my own balcony.

That I couldn’t stay longer.

Very good

You can enjoy the Royal Palace view from the roof top if you book the panorama view room. They have welcome water and cava for guest. Room is big!

No washing machine. No pantry. Don't take the 10 Euro breakfast they jointly offer with the restaurant downstair. Food is bad although the restaurant's decoration is beautiful.

Lovely hotel in an excellent position to explore Madrid.

Hotel has excellent position next to Palacio Real. The Opera metro is also close by, but we walked to all the sites from the hotel. The breakfast voucher for 10€ got you an excellent breakfast in the well-known Cafe de Orient downstairs. The room with Palace View had a wonderful vista of the palace and gardens. The staff were lovely too. They were happy to look after our bags on the last day.

Nothing worth mentioning.
