Our stay at La Fonda de los Príncipes was truly unforgettable. This boutique hotel exceeded every expectation and became such a special part of our time in Madrid. The hotel is absolutely beautiful and elegant, with a fresh, refined feel that clearly reflects its recent renovation. Every detail feels thoughtfully curated, creating a warm and sophisticated atmosphere that made us feel at home from the very beginning. Its location is simply perfect, strategically positioned in the heart of Madrid, just steps away from theatres, shopping, iconic attractions, and so many points of interest. Everything felt incredibly accessible, making our days effortless and full of memorable experiences. The food was excellent, with quality products and a lovely variety of options. Both the restaurant and bar are wonderfully cozy, inviting spaces to relax and enjoy the experience even more. And above all, the staff deserves special recognition. Everyone was warm, welcoming, attentive, and genuinely kind, making us feel cared for throughout our stay. Truthfully, we did not want to say goodbye to this hotel. La Fonda de los Príncipes gave us far more than accommodation, it gave us memories we will cherish. We cannot wait to return.

Unser Aufenthalt im La Fonda de los Principes war rundum hervorragend und für unseren ersten Trip nach Madrid einfach die perfekte Wahl. Die Lage ist unschlagbar – besser geht es wirklich nicht. Man befindet sich praktisch direkt im Herzen von Madrid und kann alle zentralen Sehenswürdigkeiten sowie beliebte Viertel wie Chueca und Salesas bequem zu Fuß erkunden. Auch die Gran Vía ist nur wenige Schritte entfernt. Ein Auto haben wir überhaupt nicht gebraucht, da die Anbindung an den öffentlichen Verkehr ideal ist. Die nächste U-Bahn-Station erreicht man in etwa zwei Minuten. Das Zimmer war zwar eher klein, aber sehr sauber, modern eingerichtet und mit einem äußerst komfortablen Bett ausgestattet. Wir haben uns vom ersten Moment an sehr wohl gefühlt. Ein weiterer Pluspunkt ist die nahegelegene Parkmöglichkeit im Parking Plaza Del Carmen. Die Preise sind im Vergleich zu anderen Anbietern sehr fair, vor allem bei vorheriger Online-Buchung. Für drei volle Tage haben wir knapp 50 Euro bezahlt – mitten im Stadtzentrum ein absolut unschlagbares Angebot. Ein kleiner Hinweis: Rund um den Puerta del Sol ist praktisch rund um die Uhr sehr viel los, mit entsprechend vielen Menschen – tagsüber wie nachts. Daher empfiehlt es sich unbedingt, ein Zimmer zum Innenhof zu buchen, da es sonst mit der Ruhe schwierig werden kann. Insgesamt eine klare Empfehlung! Wir kommen beim nächsten Madrid-Besuch sehr gerne wieder.
