Luxurious city centre hotel

Paul, 3-night trip

Very pleasant stay in that well located hotel

THE place to be in Madrid, especially on the roof top, for the mood, the sunset and, more geneally speaking, for the view! Located close to many "must see" places, this hotel and all the staff know how to make the guests comfortable. Thanks a lot for the time we've spent at the RIU Plaza!

8/10 Very good

This is a great hotel. Location is wonderful. We were very pleased with our stay and breakfast. I only have a suggestion: Please prepare the sofa bed before guests enter the room. Making a sofa bed is not convenient, especially after a long overseas trip.

Best hotel of Madrid

Excellent hotel. Superb views. Very lovely and very polite staff. They will open the door of the hotel every time you arrive. Our room had a gorgeous view of the Plaza. The Gran Via avenue is awesome for walk. I think one of the best hotels you can stay in Madrid. There is also the crazy rooftop bar with the iconic foto of the city.

10 star hotel

Our trip was in winter. We had a suite and it was beautiful, clean, comfortable, spacious, amazing view. The breakfast buffet was incredible. The attention and hospitality was a 10 for me. We walked everywhere since it was centrally located. Lots of restaurants and shopping stores all around it. Their 360 Rooftop views of Madrid were stunning.

Well run, good spot, great rooftop views of Madrid

I was a delight to stay here. A very large hotel but so efficiently run. Nothing is any trouble to the staff and they have you sorted before you even know you need sorting. The roof top bar was an amazing bonus. Madrid before your eyes. Only negative was we couldn’t lower the room temperature no matter what we tried. It may have been a seasonal thing. I would definitely stay again.
