Petit Palace Posada del Peine

Everything, including the fact that it is the oldest hotel in Madrid, from 1610! And great recommendations from the receptionist for two flamenco shows in the neighborhood (walking distance) - fantastic!

Our thousand thanks to the marvelous crew !!! To the breakfast staff- to begin a day with your greetings and tasty goodies - best mood the one may have. Housekeeping service- thanks to all of you - we really felt your care during all our stay. Front desk staff- you are amazing: friendly and always ready ti help . Not having any motion to offend anyone, we would like to say our special MUCHAS GRACIAS to JON. He had met us on the check-in day and we used to turn to him for any information. His recommendations were the perfect in description and helped us to reach the places we were interested in to see. Very skilled and great fellow. Unforgettable experience! Keep it up guys!!!

We have been to Madrid three times and have returned to this hotel each time. Great location within walking distance of many sites. Close to Sol Metro stop and if inclined, an easy 20 minute walk to the train station. Friendly, helpful staff. The room was small but comfortable. We had 2 lovely little balconies above the street. The beds were comfortable with nice linens. Modern bathroom with a good shower. A/C worked well and was quiet. Wifi functioned well in the room. Very nice breakfast with lots of fresh fruits, cereals, yogurt, eggs, pastries etc. I appreciated the efforts to be more environmentally aware. No more little plastic shampoo, body wash, body lotion bottles. Instead, bottles that are refilled as necessary.

Our connecting flight from Madrid was canceled while we were flying into Madrid and we were able to book a room at Petit Palace thru Booking.com not only on short notice, but also to get into the room before 11 am, i.e., shortly after we were able to claim our luggage and leave the airport. This gave us the opportunity to freshen up a bit before touring the city. The clerk at the desk a) arranged a taxi for us for our 8:30 am flight the next morning and b) showed us on the map a recommended route for a self-guided tour and c) offered to arrange to pack breakfast for us to eat at the airport the next day.

Perfect central location, train stations, shops, restaurants, Plaza del Sol, Plaza Mayor, Mercado San Miguel (a must for tapas and sangria) , all within a few minutes walk. Myriam went above and beyond to help us out with information to make our stay in Madrid mire enjoyable. Clean room, comfy bed and a superb massage shower. We'll definitely stay in this hotel in our next visit to Madrid.
