Top Lavapiés Hotel Reviews

Hotel Riu Plaza España

10/10 Excellent

"Good"

Hotel Emperador

8/10 Good

"Hotel was very central. Room was lovely and rooftop pool and bar were great. The only disappointment was the staff weren’t particularly helpful on the front desk, especially as there was a lot of travel disruption with a parade and protest going on, no acknowledgement of this, no option offered for breakfast, maps, reservations, or general hospitality, which was a real shame for a 4 star hotel"

Urban Hive Madrid

10/10 Excellent

"My wife and I stayed here for 3 nights. The room was nice and clean. It had all the amenities we needed. What made this hotel extra special was the staff. They were all extremely helpful and caring. The front desk manager, named Marc, was especially nice and accommodating to our every need. If we ever come back to Madrid Centro, this is where we’ll be staying."
