Hotel101- Madrid

10/10 Excellent

"Far à eau from downtown but great service"

Hotel Regina

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is beautiful! It is right in the middle of where you want to be. The staff is so friendly and helpful. I had a loft room which was amazing with a private Terrace. There was a Dyson hair dryer and a straightener provided in the room. A The breakfast buffet was delicious. Made to order eggs and an array of other items. I have already recommended this hotel to friends that will be passing through Madrid. It is definitely my new goal to stay when in town. Thanks for a beautiful experience!"

Only YOU Hotel Atocha

10/10 Excellent

"My wife and I had a great stay. It’s too bad we only had one night and not more time in Madrid. The staff welcomed us with a sparkling wine and water (It was 100 degrees Fahrenheit outside.) I purposely chose the hotel because we came in by train and it’s a 5 minute walk from the train station. The room was nice and spacious for European standards. The breakfast was very good, but a little pricey. However, on our checkout the manager surprised us by taking 10 euros off the 46 euros cost for breakfast for two. He said it was for first time guests. We would definitely stay there again if we are fortunate enough to visit Madrid again."
