Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

We loved everything about our stay here. The location was perfect for walking and exploring popular spots in Madrid (Retiro Park, the Prado Museum, Puerta del Sol, Plaza Mayor, Barrio de las Letras, and more - all within walking distance). The service was friendly and top notch. The breakfast was a highlight with a wonderful selection of delicious foods and the option to sit outdoors on the balcony. The room was luxurious and had a balcony with a beautiful view, and the AC worked extremely well which was needed in the August heatwave. It was perfect for our Madrid stay. Thank you to all at The Principal for a memorable experience!

6/10 Good

It was our first visit to Madrid so we wanted to stay right in the centre and The Principal is in a great location. As you enter there is a flight of stairs and the doorman takes your details then bundles you into a small lift to reception on the 6th floor. The reception is between the restaurant and the bar and both look lovely,

Verified review

6/10 Good

Good location. Service pretty poor for a boutique 5 star hotel. We were greeted with lots of free extras none of which were actually available to us. When ordering our complimentary cocktails we were told we had to go back to our rooms and present our check in form (quite a hassle as the lifts were slow) even though this was never mentioned. When we decided to leave instead no one was in the least bit bothered.

Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

We had a brilliant time staying at The Principal Madrid. Throughout our stay, all hotel staff were friendly and helpful with all my requests. They were able to lend me an adapter when I forgotten mine. I requested two beds and a quiet room and this was fulfilled. The terrace was lovely and had a splendid view of the city. Although they provide a dental kit, their toothbrush is not nice to use - bring your own toothbrush. There are many shops around the area; some local cafes and restaurants. Very close (walking distance) to many landmarks. Their spa service is a spa room where there are just two massage beds. The service was excellent and you pay at check out. We will definitely revisit this hotel.

Convenient location, but parking is difficult and not ideal for travelers with a car. Elevators are small and require transfers, which can be inconvenient. Our room had a nice view, but there was a noticeable sewer smell. Overall, it did not feel like a Michelin-level hotel.
