Expert reviews

Lonely Planet review:

“Now here’s something special. The views alone would be reason enough to come to this hotel and definitely worth paying extra for – rooms with balconies look out over the Palacio Real and Plaza de Oriente.”

Although the elevator was not working, the staff helped me with the luggage. Excellent central location, right in front of the Royal Palace, clean, quiet, and situated in a historic building with wooden stairs.

A magnificent place across from the palace

The property is in a fantastic location, close to the palace, the cathedral, the gardens and the older part of Madrid. It was easy to walk anywhere we want to go. The accommodation is delightful, with lovely interiors and we had a fantastic view from the third floor. We thoroughly enjoyed our two days. They were having trouble with the elevator while we were there but were very accommodating in helping us to take bags to and from our room. Communication before this was excellent.

An excellent hotel in an excellent location and excellent staff!

The location was excellent and we had booked for a panoramic view of the Palace. The view was amazing! The staff were excellent and very friendly and insisted on helping us with our luggage when we arrived and left. When we arrived, the receptionist gave us some excellent advice on visiting the city

The lift was being replaced which meant that we had to use the stairs but the hotel had telephoned us a few days before our arrival so we knew that this was the case.

Superb!

We really enjoyed our stay here at Hostal Central Palace Madrid. From the moment we arrived, we were made feel very welcome. The staff were extremely friendly and very accommodating, nothing was an issue. The rooms are exceptionally spacious, location is great, looking onto the palace, a metro stop within 5 mins of walking. Overall a really pleasant stay here.

The lift wasn’t working, but they were very apologetic from the outset, offering to lift our bags to and from our room. They seem to be renovating, so it will be for the better!

Very good

The room was very spacious and the view of the palace was lovely. The location was easily accessible by metro and it was well connected to the city.

The hot water in the showers is not quite enough if two people want to shower one after the other so you need to be careful with your water usage.

We had a wonderful stay & would love to come back.

The location is central. It’s a perfect location for exploring the city. Our room was spacious & spotless with an amazing view! You can see the Royal palace from our balcony. The staff were brilliant, especially Alina from the front desk. Highly recommended.

Fabulous location

It's a bit pricey even for Madrid but we keep coming back so that says it all. The better rooms have brilliant views over the Palacio Real - well worth the upgrade for us. Exceptionally spacious room - very tastefully decorated.

The lift is still a bit temperamental but better than last time we were here!

It's perfect location in historic old town area with 10 - 15 minutes walking distance to most tourist attractions and historical sites. 5 minutes' walk to the opera house subway station and you can reach to many Madrid attractions by subway transferring. There are many restaurants nearby.

A perfect gem next to the palace!

Fantastic location with amazing views of the Palace! Alina, who managed the front desk was very helpful with all communication, reservations, and with her suggestions of what to see/do. The breakfast voucher offer at the desk (for 10€) at Cafe de Oriente was well worth the purchase. We could not have been happier with our experience here.

Great location, clean, and close to main attractions in the center of Madrid.

Great location in front of Royal Palace and close to bars and restaurants. Room is large, comfortable and clean. Staff clean room and change towels each day. I will strongly recommend it

There was only 1 radiator in the living area, and during cold days would not be enough to maintain a warm temperature across the area, only around the radiator. But if you stay close to it, is very warm and comfy.
