If this hotel had not been marketed as a Marriott product, it would have been little more than an over-priced average hotel in a great location. We probably would have sprung for the money, and been irritated by the inadequate aspects of the property, but shrugged that off. However, this property is supposed to be part of the Marriott family.... More

This hotel is beautiful! Right next to the park, minutes from the museums (Prado, Thyssen, Reina Sofía) and shopping on Serrano, tapas in plaza Santa Ana. We absolutely loved the location. It was quiet and peaceful at night, but walkable from anywhere. The staff in the recepción was wonderful and welcoming, very helpful and eager to please. Only drawback; WIFI... More

My wife and I stayed here for 6 nights in mid-May. As a Marriott Gold member I got an upgraded room and it was huge, up on the 4th floor. I should have received a free breakfast buffet but they were getting over 80 bucks a couple for that and they offered me a discount for only $25 per person,... More

A very elegant and classic hotel about 10 minutes walking distance from the city centre and directly opposite one of Madrid’s massive parks (perfect if you enjoy jogging). My room was clean, modern and spacious, the bathroom had a range of free Molton Brown toiletries and a good powerful shower, and the staff were most welcoming. Breakfast was a little... More

First time in Madrid. Stayed here on leisure vacation. Let me tell you a few pluses about hotel; 1) location. - on the art museum area so very quiet and "prestigious. " 2) very clean room 3) great service and helpful staff. So polite. No downs or minuses on this one. You get the "Palace feel " like staying in... More

The location was great, but other things that make Marriott the Marriott were lacking. First off, the appalling decoration of the room, which had a gross grey sheer curtain full of snags, a grayish black sofa and chair sitting on a brown, orange, and beige area rug that has seen better days, no drawer space to speak of. Only closet... More

We stayed here for 4 nights in March 2013. We used Marriott points and were also upgraded to a suite looking out at the park when we arrived. If you like old world luxury, this is the place for you. We felt like we were in a beautifully modernized palace. Our room felt like a little apartment and we loved... More

We stayed at the Palacio del Retiro in February 2013 for 2 nights on Marriott points. Our room faced an inner courtyard, so we did not have much of a view, but it was a decent size and the bed was comfortable. The bathroom was modern and had an excellent rain shower with great water pressure (it makes a difference!).... More

My husband and i stayed in Retiro Palace for 6 nights. It was probably the first small hotel we stayed in. There are only 50 rooms so it is very calm and quiet. Very well taken care of, and not just common areas like reception and restaurant/bar. Rooms are big, very clean and well decorated. We had a big desk... More
