From the moment we entered the

From the moment we entered the Ambassador we felt welcome. Service and meals were excellent. I was pickpocketed on our arrival in Madrid and the staff at the hotel were wonderful to me, offering support and assisting with the language difficulties I was experiencing. Had we not been staying with such lovely staff I would not have wanted to stay in Madrid. My husband and I found this hotel one of the nicest we have stayed in and they made our Madrid visit one to remember. Thankyou.

I was pleasantly surprised to

I was pleasantly surprised to be honest. Being off Gran Via, it was not as noisey as usual and enabled me to get a good nights sleep. The room was very impressive, although I accept the bathroom was dated it was not a problem. The location was excellent, 5 minutes walk from the palace, Sol and Gran Via, a real find for me and a hotel I have already recommended to several friends and one I will definately be using in the future.

Very Nice

This is an older hotel, showing some wear-&-tear, but spotless and well kept. Desk and room staff were very personable and helpful. Excellent location near the Madrid Opera House, interesting shopping areas and metro stations.

Sightseeing tip: Short walk from hotel

We discovered a local vendors food-hall & market about four blocks from the hotel, the Mercado de San Miguel on the Plaza de San Miguel, just off Calle Mayor. There's an internet video of it at http://11870.com/pro/mercado-san-miguel/page2.

Almost 4-star...pricey for value

Nice location on quiet side street. Bunk beds for children and enough room for family of five with 3 boys (ages 12, 9, & 8) to sleep. Bathroom was nice and room was long with nice open space. Don't eat at the restaurant they recommend down the street around corner. I asked about classical guitar salons or places to hear and they told me to ask a tourist information booth. Not much concierge help. There are other places that are cheaper that are just as nice if you want to save money.

The Argentinian restaurant near the Opera Metro was very good; especially, the draft beer (Mahao) and the steak with a nice sauce.

Hyvä hotelli Madridin keskustassa

Hyvä, asiallinen hotelli Madridin keskustassa lähellä ostoskatuja, Mercado de San Miguelia, Tapas-baarien keskittymää, ostoskatu Gran Viaa, Royal Palacea ja puistoja. Olimme oikein tyytyväisiä vietettyämme 5 yötä vuoden vaihtuessa vuoteen 2013.

Mercado de San Miguel, loistopaikka viinille ja tapaksille tai miksei pikkupalojen ja merenelävien ostamiselle. Uuden Vuoden aattoillan alkaessa ainoa auki oleva paikka viinille ja pikkupurtavalle.

Lage top, Zimmer flop

Das Hotel ist mitten in Madrid und trotzdem sehr ruhig. Die Angestellte waren ausnahmslos freundlich und hilfsbereit. Grosser Minuspunkt ist das uralte, kleine Zimmer. Die Einrichtungen sind so alt, dass sie selbst wenn alles sauber ist noch schmuddelig wirken. Wir hatten das Gefühl in einem Abstellraum untergebracht worden zu sein, haben uns dann ein teureres Zimmer zeigen lassen. Dies war der gleiche alte Stil (kein Vergleich zu den Bildern im Internet!) aber sehr gross. Uns war der Aufpreis zuviel, da wir sowieso nur zum Schlafen ins Hotel kamen.
