Absolutely exceptional! The Gran Via Capital Hotel is a top-tier stay in Madrid. Everything about the property is flawless—comfortable rooms, excellent amenities, and a prime location just steps away from the city center. Public transit access is great, with metro stations nearby (though the closest one is a 50-minute walk). I’d recommend avoiding driving due to heavy traffic and limited parking options. Overall, this hotel delivers an outstanding experience—perfect for travelers who value convenience, comfort, and quality. Highly recommended!
This stay was absolutely outstanding! The location is perfect—just a short metro ride from the heart of Madrid, making it incredibly convenient for exploring the city. The room was spacious, beautifully designed, and super comfortable. Everything about the property felt high-end and well thought out. One tip: avoid driving here if possible—traffic in the area is heavy, and parking is nearly impossible. However, the nearest metro station is just a few stops away, so public transit works perfectly fine. Overall, this was an exceptional experience with great value. I’d definitely book again and highly recommend it to fellow travelers.
We stayed at Smartr Madrid Gran Via Apartments with my wife and our four kids, and it was absolutely perfect for our large family. The apartment was spacious, clean, and well-equipped—having a full kitchen made meal prep easy, which was a huge plus with little ones in tow. We loved the central location near public transit, making it super convenient to explore Madrid’s top attractions. Everything about the stay felt thoughtfully designed for families, and we couldn’t have asked for a better base. Highly recommend this property for larger groups looking for comfort, convenience, and great value.
Stayed here on May 1st and finally had the chance to leave a review after coming back home! This hotel is absolutely fantastic—right on Gran Vía, steps away from the metro, making it super easy to get around Madrid. The area feels safe and vibrant, perfect for exploring on foot. What truly stood out was the front desk team—the guys and girls were incredibly friendly, warm, and genuinely engaging. As soon as we arrived, two of the staff members immediately stepped in to help carry our luggage—two full-sized 24-inch suitcases each, no hesitation. I was seriously impressed by their effort and hospitality. Even more thoughtful: one of the guys remembered my name pronunciation (Yunyi) right away and greeted me by name every time we passed by. That kind of personal touch made the whole experience feel special. From location to service, everything was top-notch. A solid 10/10—would highly recommend and definitely stay again.
I was really happy with my stay at Smartr Atocha Reina Sofia—perfect for a quick overnight stop before an early morning conference. I arrived around 10 p.m., and the hotel’s central location made everything so convenient, especially getting to the event the next day. The studio apartment was well-equipped and thoughtfully designed, with all the essentials I needed: a mini-fridge, coffee maker, and plenty of storage space. It felt cozy and modern, exactly what I wanted after a long day. The only small downside was that the closets are a bit tight—adding some shelves inside one would help accommodate folded clothes better. But honestly, it didn’t take away from the overall experience. I’d definitely recommend this place, especially for business travelers or couples looking for a stylish, compact base in Madrid’s heart.
The Ilunion Pio XII hotel offers a clean, well-maintained environment and a solid breakfast selection—both are definitely highlights. That said, the location is quite far from the city center and main attractions. If you're only staying for one or two nights, it might be better to choose a place closer to the action. The good news? Bus line 150 stops right outside the hotel and goes directly to Puerta del Sol with no transfers, making public transit a convenient option. Just keep in mind that taxis in Madrid are extremely expensive—my ride from the hotel to the city center cost over €30, which isn’t ideal for short stays. Overall, this hotel works better for longer visits when you’re looking to save on transport costs and don’t mind a bit of distance. For travelers prioritizing convenience and budget, especially those planning to explore on foot or by bus, this place offers great value.
I spent just one night at Dormirdcine and couldn’t be happier with the experience. The movie-inspired room design is truly unique and full of charm—every detail, from the themed decor to the lighting, feels thoughtfully crafted. The room was spotless, the bed incredibly comfortable, and all amenities worked perfectly. The staff were warm, attentive, and went the extra mile from check-in to check-out. Located just steps from the metro, the hotel sits in a lively neighborhood packed with cozy cafés, boutiques, and local gems. Breakfast offered a great variety of fresh, tasty options—perfect for starting the day right. It’s rare to find such a stylish, well-run place with such a welcoming vibe. I’d definitely stay here again and recommend it without hesitation.
Staying at Quatro Puerta del Sol in Madrid was an absolute highlight of my trip. Located just steps from the iconic Puerta del Sol square, the hotel puts you right in the heart of the city’s vibrant energy. Public transportation is super convenient—just a short walk to metro stations and major attractions. The room was spacious, clean, and thoughtfully designed with modern touches like a mini-fridge, climate control, and plenty of outlets. I appreciated the attention to detail, from the comfy bed to the well-lit workspace. At 1,200 RMB per night including breakfast, it's excellent value for money. The breakfast spread was generous—fresh pastries, local cheeses, juices, and coffee that made mornings feel special. Whether you're exploring Madrid’s museums, shopping on Gran Vía, or just soaking in the atmosphere, this hotel offers the perfect base. Highly recommend for travelers who want comfort, convenience, and great quality without breaking the bank.
Staying at The Level at Melia Castilla in Madrid was an absolute delight. The pool area is beautifully designed and offers a peaceful retreat—perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring the city. The room was spacious, well-appointed, and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Located just steps from the metro, getting around Madrid was incredibly convenient. The only minor downside was a slight hum from the air conditioning unit, but it wasn’t disruptive enough to ruin the experience. Overall, this hotel delivers excellent value and comfort—definitely a top choice for future visits.
The location couldn’t be better—just a short walk from Madrid’s main attractions and well-connected to public transit.

It’s rare to find such a high level of cleanliness combined with excellent service and convenience.

Stayed for three nights and absolutely loved it—the apartment was quiet, recently renovated, and beautifully designed with comfort and functionality in mind. The kitchen was fully equipped, and every need was thoughtfully covered. The bathroom was spotless, and the surrounding area was peaceful and free from any disturbances. Check-in and check-out were quick and flexible to suit our schedule, and communication throughout was prompt and helpful. What really stood out was the excellent value—this place offers so much for such a reasonable price. Highly recommend it, especially if you're looking for a cozy, well-located home-away-from-home in Madrid.
