Amazing!

Amazing hotel!! The rooms are clean, the service is perfect and the breakfast is excellent! The location is great too, we walked the entire time. We had a balcony with view of the Palacio Real, it was fabulous! The pool is a bit small, but we weren't in Madrid to bathe in a pool so not an issue to me.

The property and staff were outstanding. The only disappointment was that we ate at the rooftop restaurant the the service was horrrible. The server never came by and when we asked another server for something, they would radio our server, who would eventually come by and then the same cycle over again. I would NOT recommend eating at the rooftop restaurant.

Great new/renovated hotel. Very close to the center and many of Madrid’s attractions but no in the middle of the crowded areas. Very easy to walk to all the shops and the park. Amazing views from the 27th floor with glass bridges that were fun for the kids.

Hotel Riu Plaza España – Stunning Views, But Disappointing Policies We loved the unbeatable location and panoramic rooftop views at Hotel Riu Plaza España. However, several policies made our stay uncomfortable. First, the room’s air conditioning was impossible to regulate. Despite asking for help and trying different settings, the thermostat kept dropping, leaving us freezing. We eventually had to turn it off entirely just to sleep comfortably. Second, access to the rooftop bar was tightly controlled. We were stopped at the front door by a new doorman who didn’t recognize us, even as hotel guests. The guest policy is unnecessarily strict—you’re allowed one guest per day, but to access the rooftop together, you must exit the hotel and re-enter with your guest. The process felt intentionally discouraging, which was frustrating for rule-abiding guests like us. Lastly, we were repeatedly asked to have our Uber drivers stop around the corner—despite a brutal European heat wave—while other guests easily boarded cars right at the main entrance. This inconsistency felt unfair. The hotel seems more focused on monetizing the rooftop than on treating guests with the comfort and respect they deserve.
