Great, centrally located hotel
I was only in Madrdid for one night, but staying at the Catalonia Las Cortes allowed me to see much of the area around the Prado. The hotel rate was an excellent value - this hotel is truly a find. The rooms were very nice (and I usually stay in the Four Seasons or W hotels when traveling for work) and staff very helpful and friendly. I would definitely stay here again and was highly impressed at the hotel quality given the prices.

a winner!
The best location in Madrid, steps from Plaza Santa Ana's great assortment of tapas restaurants, and just a few mins walk from the Prado, the Reina Sophia, and Thyssen-Bornemiza museums. Lovely hotel in an historic building, with good sized rooms, nicely appointed. The hotel staff were helpful and friendly. We couldn't have asked for a better place for our 3 nights stay. We'll definitely return here on our next trip to madrid.

Highly recommended!
I was in Madrid on business and enjoyed this hotel immensely. Centrally located in a quiet neighborhood (and that itself is unbeatable), the hotel's staff were helpful and cheerful. While the hotel lobby is small, it's big enough to meet up with colleagues for a cafe con leche - and it's comfortable. Besides, the neighborhood is hopping. Just up the street is Plaza Santa Ana, a fabulous square filled with famous restaurants and tapas places. And if you're there for the museums, it takes about ten minutes to walk to the Prado. This hotel was recommended by friends. I am grateful for the tip and would recommend it to anyone. I would always stay there when visiting Madrid.

Dining tip:
Short walk from hotel
Check out a place just up the street, Lizarran, which is famous for its little open faced sandwiches from the Basque Region, called pinchos. You pick up a plate at the bar and choose what you like, and take it to your table. These aren't expensive and are just the thing for a light supper. The place has a fun atmosphere and also, amazing desserts. Enjoy!

Excellent location, sweet accomodation
We ended up staying in the same room we stayed in last fall, in the back corner of the hotel with 2 windows that let in great sunlight with a view of the roof tops of other buildings. Clean, quiet, superb a/c, great shower, big thick towels....everything you want in a fine hotel. The breakfast and staff are excellent! Our second stay was as good as the first.

Beautiful hotel, great location
The hotel was newly-renovated (2006) and it showed.It looked impeccably maintained. I would recommend it without qualification. The only reason I would not give it a fifth star is because the room was a little small, just a double bed with a small sitting area, but this is a restored palacio and I'm sure they had limited space. I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.

Sightseeing tip:
Short walk from hotel
Very near Museo de Prado and Parque de Retiro. We spent a couple of hours each afternoon relaxing in the park. Don't miss it; just walk in any direction and you'll find something unexpected and amazing.
