Very good location for walking into the centre of Madrid. The area in which the hotel is situated is a little seedy but unthreatening. Staff friendly and helpful and no complaints about the room or breakfast arrangements. We are a couple in out late 60s and found everything satisfactory. A good choice for a budget hotel and would be happy... More

Excellent location for many of the sites and shopping. Local cafeterias serve really good food at low rates. No table cloths at these places but great food and local clientele. Hotel room was clean and towels etc. changed daily. Extremely noisy at night. Children running in the corridor above us. Walls must be paper thin as I could hear the... More

We have stayed in family in this hotel. It is well located near the Royal palace. It is quiet, not too central but very near the centre. Rooms are OK for the category.

The room we stayed in was so cold (even when outside it was boiling) that we had to have the heating on, the carpet and bed sheets had dodgy stains on and the... More

Where do I begin? to say we were very disappointed is an understatement. We arrived in beautiful Madrid and after a lovely flight and taxi journey we proceded to check in to Hotel Principe Pio. A disinterested lady at reception proceeded to check us in. I asked for a room with a view of the nearby Palace and I was... More

This hotel was the biggest disappointment of our trip. Rooms smelled bad, no air conditioning, in bad need ao new carpet and breakfast was terrible. Only thing good was location. Do not recommend. More

I visited this wonderful hotel in the 1970's and intend doing so again in the not too distant future. Wonderful staff, too. It hasn't changed from what I can see. Hope to be there soon More
