Mandarin Oriental Ritz, Madrid

Staying at Mandarin Oriental Ritz, Madrid was an absolute delight. The location is perfect—just a short walk from the city center and surrounded by great dining options and attractions. The room was luxurious, the staff were attentive and professional, and every detail felt thoughtfully designed. My only minor concern is that after the recent renovation, the door to the room doesn’t seem to have strong soundproofing—voices from the hallway, rolling luggage, or service carts are clearly audible, especially late at night. It’s a small downside, but honestly, it doesn’t take away from the overall exceptional experience. The hotel’s elegance, comfort, and service far outweigh this one issue. If you’re looking for a refined stay in Madrid, this is definitely a top-tier choice.

The gentleman working at the club was incredibly charming and friendly—his warm smile made the experience even better.

Thompson Madrid, Part of Hyatt

Staying at Thompson Madrid was an absolute highlight of my trip to Spain. From the moment I walked in, the front desk staff were incredibly warm and welcoming—by far the friendliest hotel team I encountered throughout my entire journey. They chatted with us like old friends, even handed out a welcome drink that turned out to be a cocktail—surprisingly delicious and a nice surprise! The room itself was spacious by European standards, especially the bathroom, which felt more like a luxury suite than a standard hotel room. The amenities were top-notch: high-quality toiletries with a subtle, refreshing scent, and the bar cabinet was stylish and well-designed. We also received a thoughtful welcome gift—a bottle of local olive oil, very authentic. One of the best things? The soundproofing—completely silent from the hallway, so no noise disturbances at all. The only downside is the location: while central and convenient, the area around the hotel can feel chaotic at night. There are lots of tourists mixed with some suspicious characters hanging around narrow alleys, and as someone of Asian descent, I felt noticeably more vulnerable. For safety, I’d strongly recommend taking taxis instead of walking, especially after dark—don’t risk it for a few euros saved. Overall, this hotel delivers exceptional value, stunning design, and outstanding service. A must-stay if you're visiting Madrid.
