Excellent location, polite front office staff and the best was the breakfast, much better than any 3*/4* hotel I've stayed. Rooms are big although the bathrooms a little old. The only negative point as in other reviews is the entrance: the reception is on the basement and there is no lift, so you need to use the stairs, not very... More

The location is perfect- in the very centre of the city, very close (150 m) to the metro station (Callao), so you can take the metro in the airport and easily (and cheap) reach the hotel ( although you have to change trains two times). All atractions and monuments are in walking distance- no need to buy tickets, touris cards... More

This was my first visit to Madrid. I was there on business. The hotel was perfect for my needs. It is very centrally located which was excellent as I had limited free time and was able to walk to the main sites. The reception was efficient and they spoke english. The location of the reception is a little unusual as... More

We stayed at Hotel Rex with our 9 month old daughter for 5 nights. The service was impeccable. I truly recommend it for short trips in Madrid. Very central, walking distance to every landmark. Slight disadvantage cos there is no lift in entrance and u have to go down a flight of steps for reception.

The hotel is in a great location, on Calle Gran Via, in the heart of the city, close to many of the city's most important sights and close to the metro station Callao. Although the Gran Via is a very busy and noisy, windows successfully protect against noise. Our room was large and clean with comfortable beds. Bathroom and toilet... More

We stayed in 912, a twin on the 9th floor. Quite quirky, the bathroom was an interesting shape however everything worked and it was quiet. I would have preferred a softer bed, but I still slept well. 912 got some daylight as it was almost the top floor, rooms further down would be darker. The breakfast was great, a buffet... More
