Absolutely loved! Amazing location, very walkable to museums, bars, restaurants. The hotel is beautiful. Clean, updated rooms, comfy beds, etc.
The staff is amazing! Super helpful with everything we needed. Special shootout to Martin, Raquel and Paula who were superstars. Our go to hotel in Madrid for sure.
Our experience and stay was nothing short of magical. Every staff member went above and beyond to make us feel welcome every day all day.. The hotel is conveniently located, and immaculately kept, A true royal Madrid experience.
Very comfortable stay in luxurious surroundings and perfect spot to walk around the sights of the City. We especially loved the Red Level lounge and the rooftop pool and jacuzzi! We will be back again!
This is our second stay at this hotel, and the second stay was just as amazing as the first! The staff is so incredibly helpful--not in your face or pushy, but there when you need them and very kind. We selected the Red Level again, and we loved the separate lounge area (and took advantage of it). This has become our go-to hotel when in Madrid! Oh, and we loved the bath tub. :)
The staff are exceptional, the hotel stunning & the red level service worth every penny. I cannot rate this hotel or its staff highly enough. If we return to Madrid in the future, we would absolutely stay here again!
Excellent hotel and location. Stayed in junior level suite with red level access. Great amenities in the room. Very close to Plaza Mayor. Staff was very hospitable and accommodating. Free breakfast in the morning was a great start to the day.
The property was beautiful. All staff were inviting and accommodating. They went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and to attend to our every need. The cafe and dining services were excellent in all ways - selection, taste and service. Highly recommend!
This hotel was lovely. It is in a terrific central location, but it is on a quiet street. We stayed on the Red Level, and the access to the lounge was great. I worked there some afternoons, and it made working on vacation a little better! I would not hesitate to return!

Amazing staff. Beautiful hotel. Great service. Very welcoming.
Fantastic staff who were attentive from the moment you arrived to departure.
The concierge was also excellent with some great recommendations.
The roof top bar was fabulous with views to the palace and the cathedral.
The only negative was the price of the hotel breakfast but there are plenty of fabulous spots to go outside the hotel .
This is a truly fabulous hotel but what sets it apart is its staff.
