Madrid hotels

Pros: room quality and location

Pros: Very nice hotel in a great location. Room was small but not surprising for Europe. The martini bar was a nice treat.

Cons: Small room and not enough space for two peoples clothes. The bed was pretty bad. Hard and uncomfortable.

Pros: Location is amazing. Almost major turisty places are within walking distance.

Cons:

Pros: Shower was great, towels big and soft, nice toiletries, beds were comfortable enough

Cons: Friend's rollaway bed broke the first night but was replaced the second night. Wifi is not very strong and need to keep entering a 16 digit code. Fairly noisy outside late into the night on the weekends.

Pros: The room The location The general ambience

Cons: We reserved a room with breakfast thru 'get a room' and surprised to see that it was not a buffet breakfast!!! for getting the buffet breakfast we needed to add some more money.... Not all the recommendations of the concierges were good, sometimes it seemed like they recommended places that they had personal interests/connections in.

Pros: Old world charm and location. Great lobby and dining rooms

Cons: Room furnishings and hall carpets need refreshing

Pros: The beds were amazingly comfortable, the housekeepers were not only very amusing but extraordinarily nice. The hotel was insanely clean and had a very comfortable feel to it, as if a lot of fancy people had been through it over the years. The location is good, but not great, for accessing most of the touristy stuff in Madrid. But I found the Prado (directly beside the Ritz) to be horrifically overcrowded compared to some of the other museums like Sofia Reina just down the street. Note: Not really easy to access via metro, I'd recommend taking a taxi to/from.

Cons: Take the following review with a grain of salt. I am a young person who grew up poor and wanted, for once, the "Ritz" experience: While I am a big fan of trying new things, I have to say that the Ritz experience just wasn't for me. I don't mean to be crass, but if I had a fistful of fives - I can think of a few places I'd rather spend it than tipping the endless stream of people trying to help me with things. Additionally, there is a little doll that you place on your door if you do not wish to be disturbed. Note: Don't leave the doll up for very long, because if you do, they will call your room until you answer so that they can ask when the next time they can come in your room is. I nap maybe... 2-3 times per year at most, and I am severely irritated that they felt the need to call during my biannual nap to ask me when they can come in my room. Instead of changing my sheets 3X per day, how about leaving me the hell alone when I have my DO NOT DISTURB DOLL up? Perhaps I am not cut out for the lifestyle, but I don't want/need people treating me like a helpless child, yet simultaneously making me feel "lower" than they are. Every time I offered a "no thanks, I don't need a taxi, I'm walking" or walked into the hotel from the street, I received these weird looks of incredulity/disdain that I didn't particularly care for. When I brought my own luggage downstairs on checkout I absolutely horrified the front desk attendant. Why the need to treat people like this? I have no idea. My recommendation? Take the $500 per night you'd spend here for the standard room and split it in half. Take $250 / night to spend on some other hotel's suite. Take the other $250 and stick it back in your pocket.

Pros: Staff was delightfully enthusiastic. Setting was beautiful!

Pros: Kabuki Wellington is worth a trip to the hotel on its own, though you obviously do not have to stay at the hotel in order to dine there. But being able to walk right upstairs after an amazing meal there is fantastic.

Pros: First time visit to Madrid and our visit was enjoyable from check in to check out. The staff was helpful, the room was what we had reserved, and the breakfast was fantastic. We had an opportunity to use the pool and the spa and it was a wonderful way to take a break from sightseeing. The hotel was located near the park and metro.
