We arrived very early, 6am and the staff was very accommodating and helpful getting us set up. The location is perfect for tourists and easily connected. The room and the breakfast buffet was great as well and helped al lot to be well rested and ready to have fun in Madrid. The rooftop bar is also worth noting, with great views drinks and appetizers to wind down after a long day. Overall Riu Plaza España offers great value and I highly recommend it.

Great location! Breakfast had a wide variety of options and was very good. Access to the rooftop bar was a nice touch as well. Only downside was the pool closed quite early one night due to a private event. Nothing we couldn’t work around, just happened to be the one evening our son wanted to use the pool. Would still stay again and highly recommend.

Fabulous stay at Hotel Riu! The doorman and all the staff are exceptionally polite, fresh tasty breakfast and brilliant views from the 360 bar on the rooftop. Great location, easy to get to everything with good links with the metro. We had a great size room overlooking the fountain which was lovely and so comfortable. Definitely recommend a stay at Hotel Riu Plaza! The weather was amazing so we would of loved for the pool and terrace to be open but that just means we will have to visit again :)

The ultimate location for tourist attractions. We had a view of the Palace from our window! All the staff was great, but no one was more friendly than the door men. The rooftop bar surpassed my already high expectations in every way. Since we were guests, we got a table right away instead of waiting in line with other tourists. I paid the reasonable extra amount for a balcony and OMG it was amazing! I’ve stayed at other Riu hotels in other countries and this one is my favorite so far. Highly recommend it!

We had an amazing stay! Room and bathroom were well maintained. The toilet was separate from the bathroom sink and shower which was a bit odd and there was no ventilation in the toilet room. However, it didn’t detract from our stay. Beds were very comfortable and the pull out couch was also comfortable which was great for restful sleep after a full day of excursions. Hotel was very quiet at night. Breakfast was amazing with lots of hot and cold choices and was kept well stocked. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Location is fantastic! Easy walk or transport to many attractions and many dining options nearby.
