6/10 Would not recommend this hotel unless pricing becomes more realistic.Overpriced for the quality offered – disappointing experience.
We booked this hotel in central Madrid for a special occasion — a birthday celebration with guests. Unfortunately, it coincided with a major international tourism fair, which led to extremely inflated prices.
What we received for the cost was far from acceptable: the service was mediocre, cleanliness left much to be desired, and the amenities were barely above basic. Comfort was passable, and the location was good, but that alone cannot justify such a high price.
Would not recommend this hotel unless pricing becomes more realistic.

10/10 Excellent stay at the Gran Versalles. Highly recommendThe hotel location was excellent! Very close to public transportation and easy to get a taxi when needed. And since it was not on the main road it was quiet and I was able to get a good night's sleep. The room was very comfortable, well apportioned and with excellent Wifi. The shower was nice and hot and the amenities were equally excellent. I did not have the breakfast as I felt it was too expensive.

9/10 Great short City breakRoom was comfortable, and Breakfast was included in our package - it was a good buffet. Hotel was centrally located and a walk to the Royal Palace and the Prado museum each took about 30 minutes of interestesing sightseeing. The arranged taxi transfer from the airport was a bonus. Plenty of eating places around.

10/10 ExceptionalThe hotel was very clean and perfectly located right next to the metro. At reception, we were welcomed by one of the most professional receptionists I’ve ever met—a Romanian lady whose name I forgot, but she truly deserves a raise. She even took the time to highlight the best places to visit on the map. Overall, a great experience, and I highly recommend this hotel!

8/10 Good choice for convenienceConveniently located but in a quiet side road just off the main road. Reception area is very nice but it looks like it's going to be improved as we saw a manager with what seemed to be an interior designer measuring up. Room was clean and tidy with a large bathroom (wc, 2 sinks, large walk in shower, very good hairdryer [according to my wife]). OK, we had no view, just a wall, and for a few days there was some work being carried out about 10 feet from our window which was quite noisy, but since we were out most days it wasn't a big issue.
The dining room was getting a bit tired, but I guess the work being carried out was an indication that things will get better. Breakfast was, as usual, more geared up to the continent but the dining room was never too busy while we were there.

2/10 Unaccommodating and UnpleasantAs someone who has stayed in hotels across the world, being able to approach staff is an important part of the stay. We felt very uncomfortable and after the guy at the front desk started shouting at my grown family last night - most definitely unwelcome.
The trip to Madrid was a treat organised by my grown son. He’d been before and had had a good experience of the city opting to return, this time with his parents. Note: we are something of an international family, with lots of travel under our belt, for work, leisure and family visits. Both my son and daughter were schooled internationally, have extensive experience of hotel stays from being babies to adulthood. Occasionally as part of their travels they have opted for B&B, guesthouses and lodges etc. The point of this is that we have lots of experience with hotels, accommodation, adjusting to new places etc.
For our most recent stay the tone seems to have been set at the point of checkin. There was some confusion over the number of nights we were expecting to stay; there was a definite sense of condescension in the conversation; one that my son managed by being gentlemanly and saying that he would pick up with the web service he’d used to make the stay.
It also became apparent what the hotel did not provide. Oversight on our part was that a complimentary breakfast for four travelling adults was not included as part of the stay; we were happy to do as we have done previously, combine our dining experiences both at the hotel and in the city. Best of both. We have stayed in some grand hotels and carried in pizza and fruit or opted for our own bought items instead of the bar service.
The slight surprise was realising that the rooms did not have a kettle so we decided again that we could skip having a cup of tea/coffee (reasonable routine for many before going to sleep) and instead have a wind-down hot drink either in the hotel coffee shop or whilst out and about in the city. Timings were a little awkward, and not quite the same as experiencing this in our rooms, but broadly understood.
There were two nights that this did not happen after we got back from our city excursions. On both occasions we asked the front desk if it was possible to arrange for some hot water, so that we could make up drinks in the room. Note: we bought our own green tea etc and paper cups.
On the first occasion, the chap at the desk (D____) - somewhat begrudgingly - offered us two small pots of water. Bearing in mind that there are 4 adults on this trip, we managed to muster up courage and ask for another pot. It obviously ruffled feathers, because when a similar request was made again some days later, it resulted in a very unpleasant exchange. I happened not be there at the beginning of the conversation, and came in some moments later. However, the following we all (including D_____) agree on:
D_____ pushed his chair (in frustration, apparently distracted by from his phone entertainment) and then launched into an angry speech about “giving a hand and then taking the arm”. He implied we were abusing the hospitality. This took everyone by surprise and whilst there were a few other staff members present; no one intervened. Fortunately, it was late and there were few other guests in the lobby, but both the tone and volume were not acceptable. To manage the situation and minimise embarrassment, I asked my wife and daughter to go up to their rooms and stepped into the conversation.
D_____ continued to mutter under his breath and I pointed out that this was not something he should do before his guests. I did ask him to self reflect in terms of the volume and tone of how he was addressing people and that if there had been an oversight on our part; this is something we would be willing to accept and apologise for. This did manage to calm him down and he seemed remorseful towards the end, but I ended this with asking him to reflect and how neither for him nor our family was this a pleasant way to end the night.
I said that we had come to understand that tea/coffee in the room was not a cultural thing but bearing in mind that the hotel advertises itself as four stars, we thought if push cam to shove, we could ask the hotel front desk for hot water. As stated, there was no kettle - and we had provided our own cups - so we would not have been infringing too much.
The upshot of this - the morning after the night before - is that I don’t want to see the front desk. I don’t want to join the other guests for breakfast and I would like to completely forget about the unpleasantness of the staff. The unpleasantness of the night before hangs over us. I have a couple more days stay, but want to avoid further interaction with the front desk.
When dealing with international guests over a busy summer period, surely, there has to be an understanding that small requests for comfort may be made.
Minimum services such as cups and hot water for tea/coffee just may come to you. If a family was staying with a baby on formula milk, is it not possible they not also need to make a request for hot water?
Perhaps these are requests that the hotel continues to ignore, despite the front desk acknowledging this need. The statement about “giving a hand and then taking the arm” genuinely makes us feel like we should not ask.
Unaccommodating and just unpleasant.

10/10 Perfect location, quality Hotel for Madrid City breakCheck-in to Check-out. Great.
Very friendly staff, pleased to assist. Breakfast buffet good value to start your day off, Hot & Cold meats lots of choice something for everyone's palate. Busy but well managed and clean. Room was spotless, quiet and modern with amazing shower. Large comfortable bed, had really good sleeps everyone of one 5 nights, considering location we heard no sound from outside and hardly any noise from others guests. Lots of Bars and restaurants near by spoilt for choice. Close proximity to Metro.
As a recommend, get the Madrid City Tour open top bus, frequent service, you get a real sense of where places of note are. We walked a lot, you need to do some as buses cant get that close to Plaza Mayor and the pedestrian area around Carlos III statue, both areas a must do. Hope you enjoy your trip as much as we did.

8/10 Great location!The hotel is perfectly located - just 30min on the metro to the airport, easy walking to the Gran Via and main centre... or a 1 min walk to the nearest metro station.
We were in room 421 - which was spotlessly clean with a great shower... BUT the walls were paper thin, bed was very hard and it was noisy! Noise all night from the street and renovations in the neighbouring building that seemed to go on all night, only to be replaced by the noise of the cleaners - turns out their cupboard was right outside our room. We were right opposite the lift and I was worried that would be noisy - but with all the other noise we never heard the lift!
Breakfast in the hotel was average - much better and cheaper in the nearby cafes such as Manolo Bakes or Mallorca.
Many great restaurants and bars within a 5 min walk. Bring ear plugs, drink lots of local wine, which is ridiculously cheap and hope for a good night's sleep!
