We stayed for 3 days in September 2007. Location: Excellent. Within walking distance to the main points of interest (e.g., sights, restaurants, shopping). Close to public transportation. Room: We had a corner room on one of the upper floors. Although the room was clean and nicely decorated, I did not like having a corner room. We were right above the... more

Excellent location, room had a good view. Management had provided an extra heater so we didn’t need the air con on all night. A thoughtful touch. Room was large enough and the bed firm. Towels were a little on the skimpy side but the bathroom facilities were generally fine. Staff were very helpful and gave us information about places to... more

Hotel Plaza Mayor has an excellent location - you can't get any more central than that. (Next to Plaza Mayor). Still it is very queit at night unlike some other hotels in central locations. At a cost of 85 Euros/day we got a very clean cosy room. It was not big, but not too small - at least you could... more

Have just arrived home fron a 3 night stay. Having read other reviews we decided to go with this one, but what a disappointment. It was one of the worst hotels we have stayed in. We booked a superior, it was drab and smelly with outdated furniture and bed linen that had seen better times. We requested two additional pillows... more

Hotel Plaza Mayor is really central to everything that we wanted to see. Very close to Atocha train station, to Plaza Mayor, Royal Palace and the Big 3 Museums. We booked through Venere.com based on the reviews on tripadvisor. What we didn't realise was between the reception and the elevator, there were a number of stairs along the way, which... more

We arrived at the hotel early after our overnight flight. They quickly prepared our room and we were allowed in after about an hour. The room was on the first floor and had two sets of floor to ceiling glass doors that opened out to the quiet Calle Atocha and gave us a view of the Plaza Mayor. Yes, the... more

This hotel - while not bad - left a lot to be desired for a "Tourist Hotel" ... the rooms are very small - their photos make them look larger ; no ice was available at all for drinks in room ; very noisy on weekend nights due to people in Plaza across street... BUT ... a very clean place... more

This charming, small hotel has an incredible location with well-appointed rooms and great bathrooms. Although the common spaces offer little, the rooms themselves are very nice and offer above-average size with nice bathrooms. There is free wireless, too! The staff was very friendly, and gave good advice. For those with cars parking is almost impossible, and you can barely even... more

I just returned from a 4 night break in Madrid and was impressed with Hotel Plaza Mayor. We did book the suite on the 6th floor for the extra space but I also saw the superior double room on the 5th floor which was quite spacious for European standards. As the suite is the only room on the 6th floor,... more
