We were at this hotel at the beginning and end of a Trafalgar tour. I can't say anything really bad about the hotel, just nothing exceptional. It isn't near the center of things, being behind the central RR station. It's clean, modern enough and has a decent breakfast buffet. Standard hotel and not memorable. I can't say stay away, because... More

I've stayed in Rafael Atocha on a couple of occasions being on a business trips in Madrid. Main reason for choosing this hotel is purely because of it's location which is very close to our office. Hotel itself is somewhat of an average mid-range hotel, without any distinctive feature. Design is a bit outdated, rooms are OK, but in my... More

When looking at a map of the hotel the location seems great- right by Atocha train station with easy access to the city centre. This is slightly misleading as Atocha station has to be the BIGGEST TRAIN STATION IN THE WORLD! So you are much further away from it than you think- it takes a good 15 mins to walk... More

A clean and comfortable functional mid-range hotel. Not too far away from many attractions with a little walk. If you have difficulty walking though it might not be for you. Not for a romantic getaway. Quite near to the Atocha Railway Station, which is an absolute den of thieves and pickpockets.

While the location of this hotel may work for those in Madrid on business or those with a tour group who are travelling by tour bus, in my view, it is a very poor location for tourism on one's own. I would not stay here again as a tourist. While the hotel is located "next" to the Atocha train station,... More

I went to Madrid to spend my 5 day holiday with my family. We were accomodated in Rafaelhotels Atocha. The hotel was very clean, the breakfast excellent, the staff VERY friendly. The WI-FI was a little bit slow, but free. It is near the center of Madrid, the underground station is near, too. I will suggest that they should have... More

This property is situated in a quiet lane next to the Atochya station. The room was clean and adequate. The breakfast which was served was not spectacular but nothing to complain about. Wish there were a few English newspapers in the reception/waiting area. A Chinese restaurant in the adjacent lane is totally worth a visit.

Stayed two nights at Atocha during a conference. The hotel is located in a quiet area near the Atocha station. The sorrounding area is not very interesting. The hotel is dark and not very charming. Rooms are spacious and clean, free WiFi and large bathroom are on the positive side. The biggest problem is the food. The breakfast buffet has... More

Location, location, location, close to the AVE train station and close to the office. Adjacent rooms very noisy, somebody really loud at 5am! Wifi very, very slow, Tv stations weak signal, no international news channels. Called room service for a period of half an hour, then decided to I've up! Breakfast buffet was poor, anaemic sausages and bacon. Although evening... More
