Hotel Principe Pio

10/10 Excellent

"Great location to be. Very close even for walking to destinations if you'd like. The Royal Palace is within walking distance. The Templo de Debod is nearby too. You should check it out for the sunset on your first nights stay. Otherwise, the breakfast in the morning was great. The service staff were very kind and helpful for recommendations of places to eat. The room was spacious, bathroom had a tub with shampoo, body wash, soap and such. Blacked out curtains. I would stay here again if I'm back in Madrid!"

Only YOU Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The Only You Boutique Hotel in Madrid is a revelation -- as winsome and inviting as the city it calls home. My room was commodious and inviting, with a mattress that provided a wonderful night's rest. The bathroom was well-designed and well-stocked. The staff, including the front desk and breakfast crew, was gracious and solicitous. My one small cavil is the size of the gym -- Lillitputian. Three was definitely a crowd in the cramped gym."
