Centrally located. High end

Great location. Cozy boutique feel.

Fantastic location, great breakfast, nice rooftop bar and pool.

Our favorite hotel of all. Great atmosphere. Historic. Beautiful nooks and mysterious tunnels!

Not our favorite. Great location. Dated rooms that weren’t the cleanest. No shampoo or conditioner. Threadbare towels.

Good enough! Due to a tour company mistake, our tour was rushed and cut short.

Maria la Serrana, our private guide, is a legend in Flamenco circles! She travelled the world dancing Flamenco! We were super lucky to have her as a guide.

I would suggest a smaller group

Lots of delicious fun

After a little mishap in the time of the tour, had a great experience.

Perfect location for a self-guided tour

Beautiful boutique hotel located in great area.loved the rooftop.nicely decorated room comfortable bed .items in mini bar were complimentary.staff were friendly and helpful

Loved the shower great location.could hear the church bells

Very helpful staff. A wonderful buffet breakfast.

The short visit was perfect for us

It poured down rain while we were sailing so it wasn’t “perfect” , but it couldn’t be helped. The winery visit was underwhelming. We thought the person who spoke with us about the wine was aloof and didn’t engage well With the group . Kind of felt pushed out at the end because they had a large group coming in. The tour company was open and under standing about the wet sailing experience.

Awesome guide.

Nice big room. Good location

Fun hotel. Good luck finding your room but that became part of the challenge each night

The guide was amazing

Prado was amazing Really enjoyed the Reina Sofia on our own. Retriro Park also had a guest artist whose work was very interestng

The guide was fabulous. Really glad to have had him to help us through this immense museum

fun

Great central location. We were a 20-minute walk or less from everywhere we wanted to go. The staff was wonderful. The room was cool. Delicious breakfast. A lovely calm oasis in the city.

The guided tour was amazing. Maria knew so much and we experienced the art in ways I never have. I would do this again!

This was a great activity for our first day. It got us into diverse neighborhoods of the city, with special stops alongtheu way. We loved Churreria Santa Ana. We enjoyed popping into Ramirez and also found it worthwhile to lok around in Parroquia de San Millan y San Cayetano. We enjoyed all of the amazing street art, particularly in La Latina. And the Real Basilica de San Francisco el Grande was a highlight. We made it as far as the really cool Viaducto de Segovia, but at that point headed back to our hotel for a rest.

We were thrilled to find we had the same amazing guide, Maria, from our Prado tour. She is so knowledgeable and personable. It made for a delightful tour. The palace is beautiful and fascinating to tour. I am d=so glad we did this.

Wow! What a fantastic experience. Daniel was so fun and informative and entertaining. I learned a lot, ate wonderful food, and throughly enjoyed every minute of this experience.

This hotel was well located. It was comfortable and had excellent AC which was a pleasant surprise. My only complaint was the only window was on the ceiling so nothing to look at.

Very centrally located, metro 1/2 block away. Madrid is really walkable. We only did public transport once. Beds comfortable. The glass bathroom walls were interesting and not especially private. Coffee, fruit and snack food available 24 hours.

Probably the nicest hotel we stayed at. The breakfast was very good. Very central. Easy walking wherever we wanted to go. It was 105 degrees so very happy to have good AC. Beds comfortable.

Super cute. Nice courtyard. Comfortable room. Some street noise because it was at street level, but mostly quiet. Easy access to where we wanted to.

The tour guide was knowledgeable about both spaces. Sagrada Família is exceptional. I could easily have spent more time there. Park Guell also fascinating. My only complaint was not going inside any of the houses. The group was the largest we were in. After some of the smaller tour groups we did later, I would have enjoyed a smaller group more. Despite all that we really enjoyed these spaces.

Stephan was great. We did a short easy hike. He had a lot of information about the monastery and surrounding area. He dropped us off at the museum and gave us some free time. He then took us through the local farmers market where we tasted figs, honey and cheese. All of it delicious. It was just us so we had Stephan’s undivided attention. Fabulous day!

The tapas walk was great! We tried vermut- a bit sweet, had amazing eggplant with honey - I do not even like eggplant, until now, and Catalan crème is to die for. I was stuffed! And I learned a lot about Barcelona.

The house is amazing. It was very crowded and they move you pretty quickly through it it. It was hard to really look at and take in with that pace. The evening entertainment was painful. A really bad Sinatra singer. We were very hungry and the options at the bar were limited. We left early.

One of my favorite tours. Cassie was one of our favorite guides. All the history and knowledge of Madrid, Spain and the paintings. Ninety minutes went by fast! I waited 45 years to go to the Prado to see Velazquez paintings and it met all my expectations. We saw so many famous paintings and artists. No pictures allowed which was a little sad. I did go back the next day to spend more time. And Botin was fabulous! We had the suckling pig and it was melt in your mouth. The cheese cake was so good! Overall just perfect!

The walk was interesting, lots of cool history. We even looked at some street art. The highlight is the tapas and bars we went to. Who knew a whole place could be dedicated to mushroom tapas. They were so good! All the tapas were so good. The drinks and the history behind them was an all a part of the tour.

This was our least favorite. I did not ask for it, but decided to go ahead with it. It was hot. We were tired. We were the only people with the guide. We just could not muster a lot of enthusiasm for the palace. Just not our thing. Also we had heard most of the history from a previous tour.

The Mezquita was amazing! The guide was so knowledgeable and gave a great tour. So interesting the history around the building, the different people who expanded it and loved it. The Jewish Quarter was a sad history of how humans treat humans. It’s important to know that history and its impact.

The Alhambra is everything it promises. Absolutely amazing. It’s huge! So much to see. The history is incredible. Just beautiful what was built and preserved.

It was just us and our guide. We got a very personal experience. She was fabulous. We got quite a lot of information on what it’s like to live in Spain. The food was excellent. She took us into several markets: spice shop, Torrens Vicens and the Mercado Arabe.
