Stayed here twice in the course of a five day trip to Spain. While the hotel is not in city center, it is in a pleasant, safe residential neighborhood 1-1/2 short blocks from the metro. It is also a very brief, 10 Euro taxi ride from Atocha station. The Prado, Thyssen, and Sofia are a 20 minute walk through Retiro... More

The hotel is a bit off the tourist track but easily accessible by metro from the airport or the city. The hotel is set up in an odd way,with two hotels being in the same building and separated by an odd five minute walk. The hotel itself is very clean, has a convenient bar area, and is quite efficient. The... More

We live in Madrid, and have been recommending the Ayre Gran Hotel Colon to family and friends for a decade now. It's located in a tree-lined, quiet, safe, residential neighborhood that is an easy walk from Retiro Park, and there is a bus to Puerta del Sol just downhill from the hotel that will get you to the heart of...

I spent 3 days in this hotel in November 2011. It's a nice, modern and clean hotel. The staff are friendly. It feels secure. Great prices! The washroom is very nice, but is about the same size as the living space of the room (we had a twin room). The one thing was that the hotel location is not quite... More

The pros: a clean, modern, reasonably priced hotel in a decent location if you don't mind a bit of a walk through Retiro Park (which is lovely). We ate breakfast at a wonderful cafe nearby on the way into town- Restaurante El Paleto. Worth a stop for some eggs, bacon, coffee, and peppers in the morning. The cons: the Internet... More

First I have to say the staff on reception are not rude at all and spoke to them on four occasions. The old bar guy yes. We loved staying here. Quiet residential area with wide choice of local eateries in Calles Ibiza and Menorca, but easy for metro to centre or walk through amazing park. Fantastic modern room/bathroom. Great bed.... More

We loved our stay here. The front desk staff was so helpful--sweet, energetic young people helped us plan trips around the City and to Toledo. They were very patient with our lack of Spanish. We stayed in the Americano building which I think may be quieter than the others because it is further from the restaurant and club. The breakfast... More

This hotel was perfect for us. Modern, clean, good area, not far from the centre and quite. Being just a five minute walk from Sainz de Baranda underground, meant that you could enjoy Madrid without being in the thick of it. We would recommend this hotel More

The main hotel block we stayed in was very nice, the staff at the desk were all exceptional except for one (most likely due to poor english skills?). To make the most of our free wifi we had to keep requesting voucher codes but this was only a minor gripe. The room had a very nice decor and the bathroom... More
