60 Balconies Art

Staying at 60 Balconies Art in Madrid was an absolute delight. The apartment is incredibly well-equipped—complete with a washer, dishwasher, oven, full set of kitchenware, and even a proper espresso machine that makes café-quality coffee. The spacious living area is perfect for relaxing, and the smart TV offers seamless access to Netflix and YouTube, so there's never a dull moment. But the real highlight? The view from the window. Watching the sunset over Madrid’s train station is simply breathtaking—it feels like you're right in the heart of the city’s pulse. Right downstairs on the right side is a tiny gem called 100 Montaditos—a super affordable tapas bar that I’d highly recommend. There are plenty of other great restaurants nearby, and the train station is just steps away. Easy access to everything, unbeatable location, and incredible value. I’ll definitely be booking here again on my next trip to Madrid.

60 Balconies Design

Check-in was incredibly smooth thanks to the smart, tech-driven system—no stress at all. Even when I forgot my key card late at night, the machine automatically issued a replacement, which was such a relief. Since we were traveling with kids, having a kitchen was a game-changer: we could cook meals and do laundry on-site, which made our extended stay so much more comfortable. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed—pots, pans, cutlery, you name it—so the kids could even make their own noodles, which they loved. The room itself is spacious and well-designed, with two bathrooms and a lovely balcony that offered great views of the city. It’s rare to find such a practical yet stylish apartment in Madrid, especially with this level of convenience and comfort. Highly recommend for families or travelers who want independence and home-like ease.

60 Balconies Iconic

This hotel is absolutely fantastic! The room was spacious, beautifully designed, and the location is unbeatable—right next to a Michelin-starred restaurant, just steps from the Four Seasons, and within minutes of Madrid's bustling city center. I was at Puerta del Sol in under 5 minutes, and there are three Carrefour supermarkets nearby (the City one is the biggest). The underground parking made drop-offs and pickups super easy for my driver. Daily housekeeping, dishwasher, washer with dryer—so convenient! The small balcony is perfect for a quiet drink at sunset. There’s a McDonald’s right downstairs, and just a short 6–8 minute walk away are two standout dining options: Chao Tian Men Hotpot and a Korean BBQ buffet that blew me away. Everything is so well-connected and thoughtfully placed. This is more than just a place to stay—it’s a great base for exploring Madrid. I’d definitely come back.

The staff were warm, welcoming, and always ready to help with any request. Honestly, these few nights at the InterContinental were the best rest we had throughout our entire Spain journey.

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.

Wellington Hotel and Spa Madrid

The service here was absolutely outstanding! I stayed in a street-view room with a private terrace on the 7th floor—perfect for soaking in the vibrant Madrid cityscape. The club lounge offering free drinks and snacks was a real highlight; everything tasted fresh and delicious, especially during afternoon tea time. The gentleman working at the club was incredibly charming and friendly—his warm smile made the experience even better. Even though we didn’t share a common language, the front desk staff went the extra mile by drawing a little suitcase on paper to help me understand my luggage instructions—such a sweet and thoughtful gesture that brought a big laugh. From start to finish, every detail felt personal and well cared for. This place truly delivers on comfort, charm, and value—definitely a top-tier stay I’d recommend without hesitation.

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.

Four Seasons Hotel Madrid

After a disappointing experience at a hotel in Lisbon, my stay at Four Seasons Hotel Madrid was an absolute reset. The front desk staff were incredibly warm and professional from the moment I arrived—especially the lady who helped me with my luggage. The bellhop even checked in on me mid-way, asking if I needed more water, offering to bring it up himself. That kind of attention to detail made all the difference. Located right in the heart of Madrid, the hotel is perfectly positioned for shopping and sightseeing—just a short walk or quick metro ride away. The ambiance and room quality are exactly what you’d expect from a luxury property, far superior to my previous stay at a certain hotel in Barcelona. Spacious, elegant, and thoughtfully designed—the rooms felt both comfortable and luxurious. Overall, this was a fantastic stay, and I’ll definitely be choosing Four Seasons again when I return to Madrid.

The Palace, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Madrid

The location is unbeatable—everything within walking distance, from shopping districts to theaters and local eateries. The staff went above and beyond; the concierge was incredibly polite, helped with luggage, arranged rides, even gave tips on public transit. The hotel feels brand new, likely renovated from its former life as a Westin—every detail exudes luxury and modern elegance. The grand dome in the lobby is breathtaking, instantly setting the tone for a memorable stay. I made it a daily ritual to visit the fitness center—well-equipped and quiet, perfect for a morning workout.
