I recently spent a week at this hotel and loved it. It has a super-friendly staff at every level, from reception to housekeeping. The location is great, with two major metro stations (Colon and Alonso Martinez) nearby. I got a great "superior double" room for $175/night that was spacious and comfortable. The room was carpeted, which is actually quite rare... More

The Amador de los Rios is a delightful small hotel off the Castellana (behind the Plaza Colon) and right next to the Ministry of the Interior. The latter means that there are always security guards around, which is not a bad thing. It's on a quiet street, but only 10-15 minutes from all the tourist sites. There are great bars... More

Good value hotel situated in the midst of Ministry buildings so a number of police around all the time. Makes for a sense of security though so not a bad thing! Decent room with a useful kitchenette. Bathroom has a good sized shower. Struggled a bit to get the room temperature comfortable. Air con on - noisy. Air con off... More

Stayed for 4 nights on a leisure trip. We found the location excellent. Very safe area and very quiet but not too far to walk to any of the top visitor sites - 15 minutes walk into the central areas. Plenty of good restauarants and bars nearby. The staff at the hotel spoke good English and were very helpful. Very... More

I dithered about different hotels for our first trip to Madrid. I wanted one with a pool, and was weighing up Urban, Wellington and this one. So glad we went for this. Price was fantastic at about 100 euros a night. We got a quiet room (I imagine most are), which was a good size with the kitchenette and a... More

We stayed in early August for 3 nights. We (3 adults and 1 child) booked 2 rooms, including one (of two only; rm 602) with a balcony. Both rooms (the other opposite rm 602) were clean (but see later) and well furnished. There is "not a scenic view" as such from the balcony room but it was where we all... More

Were very fortunate to arrive on the shift of one of the best receptionist I have ever come across (I am sorry cant remember the name). He made our stay so much easier; not that it is difficult to be in Madrid. Location was quite good. Rooms and hotel very clean. It is also very safe as most of Madrid.... More

The hotel was chosen for its great location and because it has a pool: a huge plus in July. We would definitely go back for both these reasons and also because of the general level of comfort and excellent staff. Our room (403) looked out onto the street but was well soundproofed. It had a mini kitchen hidden in a... More

Stayed here for 3 nights in early July and liked it very much, everyone has their own opinion but we found the staff to be friendly and helpful, and the public areas were bright, clean and comfortable. Its in an excellent location, a bit tricky to find when we arrived late at night, but a local policewoman was very helpful... More
