Is our second home in Madrid, convenience location, service is amazing

Gabriela United States of America

The Principal Madrid is very nice, very clean. seems little pricey, but maybe that is just central Hotels in Madrid. I would rate the hotel excellent on everything except elevators, which are small and somewhat hard to use. The staff was excellent.

Ron United States of America

Staff were excellent. So helpful. Nothing was to much for them. Housekeeping also wonderful. Breakfast amazing

Jane United States of America

Room and bathroom size were great. Housekeeping and concierge were wonderful.

Sharon United States of America

Excellent atmosphere and perfect location for exploring the city.

Philip United States of America

Location, friendly staff, clean room, decorations, comfy bed, view, parking, easy access.

Ahmed Saudi Arabia

Great location... great service... great restaurant.

Robert United States of America

Fantastic hotel in the perfect location. Right on the main drag and so close to many bars and restaurants. All of the attractions you’d want to see are within a 10 minute walk. The staff was so friendly and attentive, and the rooftop terrace bar is the perfect way to end the evenings. Hotel was beautiful, clean, and the rooms are gorgeous.

Sevrianna United States of America

The hotel in itself is beautiful, great location with an amazing view.
