Great experience
The hotel is exceptionally comfortable with plenty of space and incredibly friendly staff. Close to the center but far enough from the transportation and crowds. The afternoon free snack that was offered was a nice treat of fruit, small sandwiches, pastries, and coffee. Just what you need before venturing off to another round of sigthseenig.

Excellent property in a great location and friendly staff
Amazing location, extremely friendly and helpful staff. Loved the free snacks in the afternoon. Rooms were large and clean.
There is nothing we didn’t like. Our stay was very comfortable overall and I would happily return to the hotel for our next visit to Madrid. However, two very minor points would be - the air conditioning did not cool the room as much as we would have liked. And secondly the water pressure in the shower was a bit low.

Very comfortable base to explore Madrid.
Great hotel in the heart of Madrid in easy walking distance from all the sites and sounds. Well appointed and air conditioned rooms with large bathrooms. Friendly staff.
The hotel interior is a bit dated, although stylistically it’s in keeping with the general historical area.

A great hotel in the centre of Madrid with easy access to all the main sights.
The location was superb - in a quiet street 5 mins walk from Puerto del Sol. This was the 5th hotel we stayed in on our touring holiday of Spain & was by far the most friendly & welcoming. Buffet breakfast was delicious with plenty of choice.
I can’t think of anything we didn’t like

It was such a beautiful and peaceful stay, close to everything.
I loved the style, I loved how clean it was. Staff was extremely nice, helpful and always with an amazing attitude. Beds were super comfortable. I would stay again 100%! There are a lot of restaurants, bars and important roads/places just a couple blocks away.

Unfortunately, the Barrio de las Letras, although a good location, was a bit filthy this time we visited. So, not really a dislike about the property itself.

Excellent hotel for short stay in central Madrid
Good location, with large comfortable room and extremely comfortable bed.
There didn’t seem to be an option to have a light breakfast rather than paying for the rather expensive one, but plenty of bars available nearby. The air conditioning was ok in April but could be inadequate in very hot weather unless it can be adjusted centrally.

I stayed at this hotel on my last visit to Madrid, and it was just as wonderful the second time. Great location, beautiful and well appointed rooms, afternoon snacks, breakfast buffet, and an excellent staff that's friendly and helpful. Shout out to the lovely Paula and Alejandra in the kitchen, and Mariano at the front desk. Highly recommended!

Very convenient location Friendly staff and cosy bar.
Brilliant location in a quiet street close to the centre but not at all noisy. Very kind and helpful staff.
I should have taken a taxi from the station to the hotel instead of walking. It was a little too far to walk with a suitcase.
24 April 2025
Great location. Nice staff!
Location very convenient. Close for walking everywhere. stayed 3 nights, visited all major sites and no taxis or metro. (Beauty salon 2 doors down. in case you need a wash and blowout) Even though it is downtown and we had a window to the street it was quiet enough at night which is a big plus for resting.
All good! Maybe some tiles close to the shower need repair, but not that important, just would hold up to excellence.

This is a beautifully appointed hotel with impeccable service. It was once a palace, and the second floor still has beautiful stained glass and frescoes. It is centrally located, with a short walk to Sol and Plaza Mayor. It's in a very historic part of Madrid, so the neighborhood is bustling but not in a crazy, party kind of way. If your room faces the street, you will hear foot traffic conversation occasionally. So if you're a light sleeper, ask for an interior room. The snacks every afternoon were a nice touch, as were the tall water bottles that refreshed both of us after a long day of touring. The chocolate bars and chocolate Lindt Easter bunnies felt like a nice luxurious gift as well. The hotel is perfect for couples and families with older children who are touring Madrid . We definitely hope to stay here again.

Perfect Hotel in the perfect location with wonderful staff.
Our room was perfect, with possibly the biggest bed I have ever seen, it was so comfortable. I loved the little touches of having our room turned down for the evening with a gift of chocolate beside the bed! Lovely soft towels in the beautiful bathroom, with an enormous shower!
Nothing everything was perfect!

Great location
From the very first moments, we were delighted by the hotel – we received a complimentary upgrade to a suite. The room was stunning, with high ceilings and beautiful parquet floors that truly deserve special praise. It’s rare to find a hotel where the needs and habits of guests are so thoughtfully considered: large and comfortable tea cups, a kettle, a coffee machine, cozy pillows, high-quality linens, excellent toiletries, and – most importantly for women – a good hairdryer. In fact, there were two hairdryers. I don’t know if every room has a proper home-style hairdryer, but ours did. Housekeeping was great. Breakfasts were classic European style. The location is an absolute gem: turn right and you’re in the heart of the luxury shopping district; turn left and you’re on the city’s main square and Gran Vía. Everything was within walking distance, which made exploring incredibly convenient. We are truly grateful to the entire staff for their care and warm hospitality.
