Madrid hotels near Plaza de Espana

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.

Cons: Room furnishings and hall carpets need refreshing

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.

Cons: Breakfast/buffet was not included in our stay but there are great little breakfast spots for a cheaper price right down the road from the hotel. workout facilities were a little older

Cons: They advertised a gym with a sauna, and both days I was there they were both out of order. I managed to convince the staff to let me use the gym and they did try to fix the sauna to their credit.

Cons: I liked everything about this hostel, definitely my go to for Madrid.

Cons: The shower in the 4 bedroom; it was out in the open without a lock, no privacy. It was uncomfortable when there is men and women in the same room, I had to put a towel and clothes on the shower door.

Cons: Showers are not private.

Cons: Didn't stay long enough to try the restaurant but it looked good ;)

Cons: The room was beautiful; linens clean and crispy. Room service did a great job every day. Patio was a great addition to overall nice hotel room and enjoyable stay.

Cons: I was shocked that my 2 hardboiled eggs and yogurt (in room breakfast) was $30. My husband got fruit and Muesli and it was an additional $30. $60 for a small breakfast!!! Apparently if you order anything they charge you for a full buffet. Had I know that, I would have just gone downstairs to the buffet. The laundry service was also ridiculously priced. My husband washed 4 pairs of boxers and three pairs of socks and it was $60. Shame on us for not planning better, but shame on them for price gouging.

Cons: Decor is a bit dated

Cons: Good place to stay

Cons: Supposed to have an amazing roof-top pool and bar. Wouldn't know, it was never open, (disappointing and should receive a discount for not having the stated amenities). First-floor lounge-bar was just room with chairs and one sad desktop computer and printer (no printer ink and so no boarding pass printed, :(

Cons: Small/average rooms.
