We spent two nights at the Hotel Francisco I on a weekend. The hotel is really a bargain. From the outside the hotel doesn´t look really inviting, however the rooms (and this is the important) are spacious with AC and extraordinarily clean with free of cost!!! safe. Bed is very comfortable. The bathroom is excellent. The breakfast is really nice... More

This hotel is located in the heart of downtown Madrid where all the action takes place. Walking distance to many major sights. The Hotel is spotless!! I even saw someone washing the stairs and inside the elevator. Rooms very clean and spacious. Breakfast in the morning is your traditional Spanish breakfast. Bread, cheeses, juice, and meats. We picked up some... More

Our first night was unbearably noisy but we asked to change tools and we were given a much quieter room on a higher floor. Hotel was excellently located fir metro, sights and evenings out. Breakfast was great. Staff all friendly and polite apart from one who I think had little grasp of English. We had a lovely time here but... More

We spent three nights at the Hotel Francisco I (or 'The Frankie' as we affectionately started calling it) and found it to be a great bargain, despite some minor issues. The interior architecture is lovely, fusing ancient and modern, and the rooms are spotlessly clean. The breakfast was an ample continental style buffet with all the scrumptious fare you'd expect....

The rooms are spacious new and comfortable. The cleaning is excellent and the breakfast while limited is very adequate for a hotel of this quality. We felt that the value for money based on room cleanliness and breakfast was amazing. We have stayed in 3 and 4 star hotels where the rooms are far worse than here. The location is... More

Very nice hotel, located just 5 mins walk to Opera or Sol metro station. Surrounded by restaurants and shops. Within walking distance to Plaza Mayor, Gran Via etc... Hotel is nice, clean, with very spacious room & modern decoration. Nice breakfast. Stay here, no regret.

This hotel was close to a lot of things including the subway, eats, and attractions. The room has a VERY good sound barrier but if you are a light sleeper you may here the people walking around outside. I would defiantly book with this company again. - Canada

I have mixed feelings about this hotel. We received a very warm welcome at reception, including a glass of Orange Juice (may have been a splash of Champagne in there...but not enough to notice). We got the sense that this is a prime location to stay in Madrid. Right on one of the main pedestrian only streets that branch out... More
