Madrid hotels & places to stay

Pros 1) perfect location, subway entrance just next to hotel front door; major scenic spots, restaurants and shops are nearby 2) Great, fresh breakfast with 360 wonderful view of Madrid on roof top 3) Fancy designed room with all you needs and comfortable to take rest Cons 1) my room faces construction and redecoration building so I can't open window while the heat is too much for autumn in Spain

our travel agent searched for hours/days for the best hotel in madrid based on our budget and we were very happy with the nh nacional hotel. the location was perfect, a short walk from the rail station and our arrival train into madrid, and the surrounding streets and plazas were crowded with people, shops, rastaurants and bars. the rooms are not large but more than adequate for our stay. all in all a great stay.

Location: Great. Note that Gran Via metro station is under renovation. However, Sol metro station (which is just a stop before Gran Via on the blue line from the Atocha train station) is only a 3 to 5 mins’ walk away. Sol metro station is where the Sol Square (Puerta del Sol) is. Hotel is walking distance to most of the tourist attractions. There are many restaurants and tapas bars nearby that open till late. The biggest advantage of the hotel is that it’s located on a smaller street next to the main crowded street/area so you won’t be disturbed by the noises at night and yet all the places are easily accessible by foot. Room: Great. Big, spacious, clean and well/newly furnished. Staff: Check-in and out was fast. Staff were polite. If there’s anything that they could do better, perhaps more could be done to introduce the places of interest to guests. Value for money: Very worth it! Highly recommended and would definitely stay in this hotel again when I’m back in Madrid.

This is the only hotel I know in Madrid. Whenever I go to Madrid, I stay there. It is very convenient for me because the metro and the train station are there. You can go to the airport by metro and it takes only 30/40 minutes. Also, if you travel to the rest of Spain (Avila, Salamanca), the train is also there, forget the hassle to find a taxi or a bus, or carry your luggage for more than 5 minutes. The hotel is very clean and the rooms are clear and with big windows. The bathroom is also very clean and the shower has a lot of pressure (even if you are on the 7th floor). There is a breakfast buffet with a lot of food. For me is perfect. The variety is great. I have read some reviews from customers that said that the food was not good. Well, in this case, these people have to go to a 3 starts Michelin. I recommend it and I will go again in March.

this is definitely a hotel i would recommend to anyone visiting madrid. the room may not be huge but it is comfortable, extremely well kept, clean and well equipped. there are sufficient pillows and cushions unlike some other hotels. the service staff is very friendly, helpful and accommodating. i was supposed to check out after three nights' stay but i extended another night before departing madrid for barcelona. after a week in barcelona, my plan was to return to madrid, stay the night with a friend before flying off to asia the next day. the staff was more than happy to help look after my bags for that one day even though i would no longer be registered as their guest. what great after sales service!!! in the end i decided to just book another night with them instead of staying with my friend. in that one trip to madrid, i returned to catalonia atocha 3 times - simply because it was like 'home' away from home. as for location, it is almost accessible to all the major sites and places with just 10-15 minutes walk or by metro that is a minute away. and yes....the hotel staff willingly and patiently showed me how to get to these places. definitely catalonia atocha.

the hotel is very close to bus stops and the metro. 15 min drive by taxi from the airport. the staff was really proficient in english which helped us a lot as we do not speak spanish at all. the room was beautiful - wooden floors, huge king size bed and the bathroom was really nice - we felt like vip's. the pricing of the restaurant was affordable and the food delicious. i would happily stay here again whenever i travel to madrid again and i recommend this hotel

Typical Novotel quality and service. Hotel is relatively new inside and quite spacious. Location is not right in the middle of Madrid, so there's a bit of a commute to get to the sights, but on the other hand it's quiet at night and literally 100m from the first stop of the export express bus. There are several subway stations nearby (try using Goya for quick access to the city center) and some supermarkets, restaurants, cafes etc. We arrived at 9am after a long flight and were given a room right away which was very much appreciated. Rooms are big enough with good bathroom, big TV, free bottles water and a fridge, but lacking natural light due to small windows.

I arrived in Madrid at 9:30 PM and had an early morning flight at 7. Because time was 'key' I choose to stay here. I was VERY IMPRESSED! Super easy to walk to on the bottom floor of Terminal 4. Very friendly and helpful staff who gave e me several suggestions for restaurants. The room has a very comfortable queen bed, TV, and very modern bathroom with any excellent shower. Everything is quite clean. There also was an expresso/coffee machine and had 2 cups to wake up in the morning. Yes - the fee was approx.$150 U.S., and I could have gotten a hotel 10 minutes away by train (that you get in T4) for perhaps U.S. $75, but - seriously - time was precious AND this hotel is Very Good value!

The hotel location is wonderfully situated so it is easily to grab a taxi or walk to everywhere. Even though we are in the middle of Gran Via, nothing could be heard the whole day if we close the windows. I don’t even realised it was raining one night. Staff there greets you with a smile but there should be more staff in the breakfast area. We have to pour coffee on our own as all the staff are at the kitchen preparing eggs for us. No big deal though. The housekeeping does their job very well. Always have fresh sheets and towels every day even though one of the days, we have left the hotel pretty late after 1pm. Water pressure in the shower was powerful. They even provide perfume incase you forgot about yours. There is a carrefour express downstairs so you can grab snacks or drinks anytime and a pharmacy right opposite that opens till midnight. Free jelly candies are available on the first floor and fruits infused water are available on the 7th floor which is the check in floor.

Always pleasant, i've stayed at a few Rezidor Hotels, Park Plaza Westminster in London, Radisson Blu Gautrain Hotel in Johannesburg, South Africa also at The Radisson Blu Edwardian Berkshire Hotel, London, Park Inn by Radisson Cape Town Foreshore in South Africa and now recently in Madrid and I must say all the hotels in the group i have stayed at are out of this world.

We stayed at the Vincci Capitol as we had one day/night in Madrid in transit before heading to London. Was very relieved to find that the hotel was in an easily accessible location near the centre of Madrid. At first glance, you could almost miss the entrance because it was part of a theatre building and the hotel entrance is covered by darkened glass. We were delighted to find that the rooms were of a very good quality, a tad on the futuristic modern side, with glass covered wardrobes and flat screen TV. Sleep quality was excellent because we could hardly hear the sounds on the busy streets below from the 5th floor, and the blinds effectively cut out all the outside light. I'd definitely come back to stay at the Vincci Capitol again when we have more time in Madrid in the future...

The hotel was in a great location and 10 minutes walk a way from the city centre. The room was a good size and very clean. The restuartant also nice and provide reasonable value for money. There is also a few shops and restaurants 2 minutes away from the hotel which is very convienant if you dont want to venture out in to the city. All in all a good hotel and I would stay there again when in Madrid.

In 3 weeks traveling through Spain this was my favorite Hotel. The staff were friendly and informative, fast service and a real sense of generosity about this property. Very quiet rooms even though we were on the main agran Via Road. Free coffee while waiting for check in substantial breakfast served until 2 pm. I would have loved if it had a small gym and pool however there are other options within Madrid close by if you need these facilities.

this was a great choice for someone flying out the next day to another spain destination, so good location to get into the city for the day and get to the airport the next day. the room was lovely and particularly the bathroom is very nice - big and with a bath. the bed was a bit hard because i prefer a softer matress, but the room was quiet and i got a good rest. the hotel lobby is very nice, quite big and you can go down and have a drink and something to eat while waiting for the plane the next day, whilst hooking yourself up to the free wifi. that was the main advantage for me, after check out i just used the lounge for a couple of hours before getting to the airport. you can take a bus into town for just 1 euro 50 and it takes about 35-40 mins. the metro station is too far to walk i think. the taxi home from town was just 15 euro. taxi to airport was roughly the same. the bar in the lobby at night was fine, with a nice guy giving me my sparkling wine, but the morning service was terrible, with a girl who couldn't speak english properly and i didn't like her attitude. be careful when ordering an iced coffee - you get the coffee and glass of ice separate! it was a bit of a shock and she was not friendly! service at reception was very nice and most of them spoke english and they printed out my next hotel voucher. i was very happy with the girls at reception.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Catalonia. With so many hotels in Madrid it was hard to choose. But the biggest selling points for us were the central location and the reasonable price. We were very pleased and would certainly stay there again. It is just a two minute walk to the Gran Via Metro stop, and only a few minutes to Sol, and a few of the other stops as well. We bought a ten pass Metro ticket but only ended up using half of our trips because everything ended up being in walking distance. The hotel staff were friendly and we had no complaints about the room.

this stylish hotel has a days gone by architecture which fits perfectly in the neigghbourhood it is located in. we only needed one night overstay in madrid and choose this one as it is just around the corner of gran via. it allowed us to walk around a see some of central madrid. also the gran plaza is in walking distance and some major musea. buffet breakfast is sufficient. staff is very profesional and kind. ckecking out was at 12 but as we had out connection later on it was no problem to check out one hour later

We stayed here for 3 nights with our two sons, was a triple special birthday celebration... Staff were very friendly and helpful and nothing was any trouble for them..especially Macarena and all staff at reception. (this is the only name I can remember). We stayed on a room only basis, the rooms and bathrooms were modern and kept very clean.. Hairdryer was good,I normally take my own but decided against it and I'm glad I did, it would have been extra weight for nothing. Only thing I was disappointed in was the rooftop pool not being open, its policy in Madrid apparently that all pools are closed around middle of September, on this occasion it closed on 18/9/16. I had booked this hotel for the pool and probably would have booked something else had I known, don't get me wrong it did not spoil our break in any way...Would certainly recommend and would go again. Thanks to everyone who made our stay so memorable 👍🏻☀️🍸🍻

we were on our 16 days trip to all over spain and spent our last 3 nights at this hotel. we booked a standard room but somehow was given a suite which is a nice surprise. the room was superclean and the room service was great. there is a local train just across the street. parking is available on site for free. there is also a supermarket just few meters from the hotel. we have been to many countries and many hotels before. so far, this is the best hotel we have ever been to. it was a nice way to end our spanish road trip.

The Vincci Centrum hotel is located in the center of Madrid, near most attractions. The staff was friendly, but service in general, in Madrid is lacking. It's tough to be an American traveller in Europe as stereotypes of Americans are rampant, sometimes you can feel the disdain through the smile and that was true for this hotel. On a very basic level, all needs were met, the room was very clean and very comfortable. However, expect to pay for any additional accommodation beyond your hotel room, including any snacks, meals, or transportation. Not the most inviting, but also much more comfortable than your average hotel stay.
