The hotel is very central, oposite the Royal Palace and quite handy if you want to walk to the centre instead of using the tube. Although, if you do prefer the tube, it's in between two stations so allow 5 minutes walk, at least, to either of them. The surounding area is not particularly great (8 lane carriage way, very... more

This is a very good hotel! I would definitely stay there again. I booked it through the "booking.com" site, at a very reasonable price. Central but quiet, located just a 5 minutes walk from the Plaza Espana, on the side of the Royal Palace. I asked for a double for single use room; I got room 714. It was comfortable,... more

Very central position, just in front of the Royal Palace and very close to Opera, Porta del Sol and other nice place in Madrid. Very close to metro stations (Plaza de Espana, Principe Pio). Nice and clean rooms (a little bit noisy) and personnel friendly and helpful. Absolutely a good place to go if you want to enjoy Madrid. more

Clean hotel and good central location. Staff on reception were kind and helpful and had good english. Comfortable rooms with more than adequate facilities. Rooms cleaned and bed made every day! Great room for great price 40 per night! more

I would recommend you avoid this hotel as there are far better options in Madrid, and it does not deserve the three-star status it claims. We were especially disappointed with our room, which was meant to be a standard triple. One of the beds in the stuffy, tired room was a fold-up bed and only 5-foot-6 long. The location is... more

We were very pleased with our experience of this slightly faded but very functional hotel- near to the train and buses as well as a comfortable walking distance to town , plus a good value breakfast cafe just a few doors up. the staff were extremely helpful and were keen to practice their English! a recommendation would be to ask... more

We just got back from Madrid. Hotel advertizes itself as " in constant renovation" - well, expect noise of construction every 9 am! Staff at reception was extremely unhelpful and there is NO single iron in whole hotel - why would you need one, right !!!????? Worse if you have a car - THERE IS NO PARKING !!! Even if... more

We stayed at the Principe Pio hotel during the last leg of our honeymoon. The room itself was adequate, nothing fancy, you basically get what you pay for. We chose it because the price seemed reasonable and it seemed like a good location. My biggest complaint was that the "non-smoking" room smelled overwhelmingly like a "smoking" room. We had to... more

I just got back from Madrid 3/10/05 and i was very pleased with my stay at this hotel. The hotel staff where extremly friendly and helpful and spoke English very well. My room was always cleaned and never dirty. It is going through a renavation...looking like it is halfway done. When it is complete it is going to be beautiful.... more
