Hotels near Retiro in Madrid

Pro: The room itself was good. Clean and comfortable. Cons: I also need to mention that i was travelling with medicine that needs to be in certain temperature. When i arrived, i asked them to put my ice gel in freezer. I mention this 3 times. Its supposed to be in freezer, not refrigerator. They still put my ice gel in refrigerator so the ice gel is not frozen when i need it. It seems nothing for you, but for someone who needs the medicine it is actually very important. Another incident: i go down to receptions for tooth brush, receptions said they will send it to my room. I waited and nobody came. Then i called, the receptions told me to go to receptions again to pick the tooth brush because he found noone can send to the room. Then why didn’t he just gave it when i go to receptions the first time. There is nothing wrong with your hotel but please train your receptions better.

Great location, very close to Goya station. Most of Madrid's main attractions are just a few stops away. We booked a family room, which was spacious and well-equipped. One day we had the 'do not disturb' sign on the door, so no room cleaning was done. In the evening, a staff member brought extra towels and toilet paper. The drinks and snacks in the mini-bar were complimentary. Overall, we were very satisfied!

Located in a middle-class residential area, the surroundings are quite peaceful, yet the hotel boasts excellent transportation links. The subway is just a five-minute walk away, and there's a bus stop right outside the hotel. You can even walk to the palace or take a bus from the hotel entrance. There are several supermarkets conveniently located just a right turn from the hotel entrance. Every staff member at the hotel is incredibly warm and helpful. There was a previous review mentioning an elderly person in their seventies being asked to pay extra and then being kicked out; that's simply a Chinese elder trying to take advantage and then twisting the facts when it didn't work out. It's completely untrue and shouldn't be believed. It's truly irresponsible that Trip.com would publish such a review along with photos showing people's faces.

Everything is perfect except the hotel location which is a little far from the nearest metro station and of course, away from the main shopping district and attractions. However, the comfort of the room more than made up for it. The shower head pressure was strong, the sheets were clean and crisp, and the a/c and heater worked fine. The housekeeping service was pretty stellar as well, and we even got a can of olive oil as a welcome gift as well as a bagel as part of the Three Kings’ celebration. If you are looking at doing your laundry, note that the nearest laundromat is abt a 7mins walk away (300m). Bring your bedroom slippers too as the hotel doesn’t provide any. Overall, we had a great stay at Hard Rock Madrid and will recommend all who are looking for a lux stay at a reasonable cost.

The hotel was very comfortable and very comfortable. The only thing that for the price you pay was waiting a little more in the room (the dust had not passed in several days and I am allergic, the bed header was unspoken, there was some walls shaved, there was only one night mel and was damaged). A positive point was that there was a diffuser for the dryer, that is almost a miracle.

Good hotel room, very nice morning buffet with lots of different dishes. Hotel's restaurant at late night also serves pretty fancy food. Also, I really loved the free water and drink dispenser there. Got myself lots of free hot milk and fruit flavor water there. Would really recommend this place!

The industrial-style decor was as basic as it gets, which was fine since I only needed to sleep for five hours before catching my flight. There was no view from the window, it was completely blocked. It's a convenient ten-minute drive to the airport, and there's also a shuttle bus available.

It took less than half an hour to get to the hotel by taxi from the airport. The hotel is conveniently located near bus stops and a subway station, both within a 3-minute walk. While there aren't many dining options directly around the hotel, the subway provides easy access to all the major attractions and a wider variety of restaurants in the city center. The hotel breakfast is quite European, mainly consisting of various breads with no hot food options.

I was in a shared female dorm. Nice bed and location. A towel was provided but be prepared for a cold water shower. No real kitchen to speak of. Just a small iced over fridge and microwave. It’s in a nice location and easy to walk to all the hot spots.

To check in, you need to contact them via WhatsApp at the entrance. The staff responsible for check-ins weren't very responsive, and I had to wait 5-10 minutes, even making a call to them. However, another staff member, an uncle who manages the hostel, was incredibly warm and genuine. I forgot my locker code twice and he kindly reset it for me. The biggest downside was definitely the room, mainly due to a strong odor. Some guests' body odor was so overwhelming and the ventilation wasn't good, which severely impacted the living experience. I couldn't sleep at all that night, partly because of the pervasive snoring from many guests. The continuous snoring led me to pack my bags and leave at around 3 AM. Overall, the facilities were fine, and the downtown location is excellent, but the room smell was just too much.
