Check in: not very friendly. Rude front desk service. Called about our rooms and the agent couldn’t understand what we asked and rudely hung up the phone. I booked 3 rooms and would have expected better assistance. All 3 rooms were different. One room was upgraded but the other 2 were standard and one was much smaller/less spacious. Decorative pillows look cheap and poor quality. No toiletries. Nothing inside the fridge. Bathroom was not cleaned well. There was a ball of hair in the shower. Breakfast: chaotic, rushed, got up from table to grab coffee and my table was immediately cleaned up with food and juice still at table. Felt like we were in a cruise ship. Not at all what we expected for a 4 star hotel. Seems like this hotel is more focused on the rooftop experience than the client experience. Will not be staying there again and will not recommend it.

I had a fantastic experience at Riu Plaza España! The rooftop views are absolutely spectacular, offering a breathtaking panorama of Madrid that’s perfect for photos or simply soaking in the city’s beauty. The hotel features excellent dining options, with a variety of restaurants and bars to suit every taste. One of the highlights was the breakfast buffet—a delicious and abundant spread with fresh, high-quality choices that made every morning a treat. Highly recommended for anyone looking for comfort, style, and unforgettable views in Madrid.

Best breakfast buffet ever

The best breakfast buffet I’ve ever had in any country, they offered the widest selection. Location was convenient for walking, right at the end of Gran Via (our longest walk was about 35min to El Retiro Park). Front desk service was standard. Gym had a good variety of cardio and resistance training equipment. Pool hours are limited so we never made it. With so many elevators (6), for whatever reason it takes forever for the elevator cab to come, and even when it did arrive, sometimes it was already full of passengers and you needed to wait all over again. Rooftop bar/lounge area gets busy at night (there was a line to take a picture at the glass floor popout) but you get free roof entry as a hotel guest and it has an amazing view of the city. Central to shopping—Literally sandwiched between a Mango and a Zara downstairs. Would stay here again.

The hotel is great. Luxurious, clean, and classy. The room I got was in a corner and it was big and very comfortable. The staff was helpful and friendly. It is at the start of La Gran Via street where there are a lot of stores and restaurants. Easy access to taxis and public transportation. My only quibble is that the water changes from freezing cold to scalding hot in a millisecond. So, be very, very careful. The windows open around two inches only, if you want fresh air. I would stay again in this hotel.

We booked a room with two beds and it was very spacious, the beds were firm but comfortable, and it was quiet, we couldn’t hear any noise from the street. There are no sleepers so bring your own, the carpet is not soft so walking with bare feet is not recommended also not sanitary :) The breakfast was the best, varied, good quality and the service provided was great. The hotel is very well located, we didn’t use the metro but there was one close by, there are lots of shops, cafés and restaurants around. We highly recommend it.
