Everything was excellent, staff, breakfast, cleaning. Room kinda small but space enough. I recommend! Location also very good.

Radisson RED Madrid
The room was clean and comfortable overall- no issues at all with comfort. But I didn’t realize how the Radisson Red was decorated or the themed. I probably wouldn’t go for this style in the future.

The Palace, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Madrid
The king bed room was very spacious with a nicely decorated bathroom. The cleaning staff were brilliant with our room cleaned and an afternoon turn down service. The front service staff were polite and friendly. We also enjoyed the cocktails that we had.

Hotel Regina
Hotel Regina is super centrally located. You can literally walk everywhere. The rooms spare no details. The only drawback was the restaurant in the property which is not part of the hotel. This could have been better but not their fault.
