Petit Palace hotels in Austrias, Madrid

"I’ll keep it short! Check in was slow, pool was closed for repairs or maintenance but everything was good. Laundry is limited and small but free! Location is pretty good but on a large hill. You will often have to walk upwards into the more “main” parts of the city during your stay"

"El Hotel es muy bonito… lo mejor que tiene es la terraza y el desayuno buffet que es muy bueno con una excelente calidad y variedad. Hace algunos ańos estuvimos mi Esposo y yo en el Hotel fue una linda experiencia y hace unos días decidimos regresar al RIU porque estábamos de vacaciones con mi mamá y su Esposo y nunca habían estado en Madrid y menos en el RIU y queríamos regalarle una linda experiencia como la que tuvimos mi esposo y yo hace ańos. Que pasa que al llegar lo primero fue que por Expedía hace meses yo había reservado 2 habitaciones Delux y al llegar solo tenían una disponible y la otra que nos dieron fue una básica 2 camas individuales las cuales no se podían unir por un mueble que tienen que las separan. Nos ofrecieron al día siguiente cambiarnos para una que estuviera disponible y otra cosa en pisos diferentes cuando era un viaje familiar y los 4 estábamos juntos. Lo otro fue que en una de las habitaciones una de las toallas estaba manchada y como si fuera poco subimos a la terraza nos dieron una mesa estaba haciendo un sol en Madrid Horrible la mesa estaba sucia, nunca nos atendieron ni la limpiaron, estuvimos más de 30 minutos sentados bajo el sol… pasaba personal del hotel y nos decían mi compañero viene ahora atenderlos y nunca vino nadie… pero como si no fuera poco el esposo de mi mamá se quejó con uno de los camareros y el le dijo que ese no era su asunto que tenía que quejarse con el supervisor. En mismo día de llegada 3 incidentes. no creo regresar"

"Breakfast was not international omly boil egs or patatas, no scranble or variate fruits the breakfast is 18 dolars, toast and coffee"

"We will remember most the bar and the staff (very, very king and happy). Sorry but hotel was average, to be fair we missed read that it was a hostel, ideal for ‘back packers’, bit focusing in the positive; great walking distance location for many attractions, markets, metro and atocha train station"

"The room was beautiful and very clean. The only issue I had was with the washing machine which wasn’t working. I reported it to the staff and they took care of it immediately!"

"The previous occupant smoked in the room and all the hotel did was spray perfume to mask the smell and the cigarette smell became evident at night when the perfume smell wore off. I also found cigarette butts near and outside the window and took photos as evidence. Upon check out, the reception staff did not offer any discounts or even an apology. The plus side is that the guy at check in and the breakfast lady were very friendly and helpful. "

"A great boutique hotel with a great breakfast and room service"

"Clean room. Good breakfast"

"The Gran Vía location has charm, and the price looks appealing. Unfortunately, that’s where the positives end. We weren’t told at or before check-in about a €10 cash-only deposit for the fan remote — no air conditioning, just a fan. Arriving late with no cash meant a sweaty first night and an ATM hunt the next morning. Three bathrooms on our floor: one had no toilet, one had an unusable shower, and the third had a broken shower. None had hooks or shelves. The building has a single lift, which was in use by housekeeping for much of our stay — we were on the eighth floor. The room has frosted glass doors onto the hallway, so light and noise pour in constantly. On our last night, a neighbour’s room light was left on until 3AM. The windows onto Gran Vía look great but offer no sound insulation, and with no AC, sleeping through a warm Madrid night is genuinely difficult. Cheap, yes. Worth it? Not for us."
