Vacation in Madrid at Hotel Riu Plaza

Our 7 night stay at this hotel was amazing! It is the perfect location in the heart of Madrid. The breakfast buffet was excellent with great variety and superb quality. The view from the rooftop restaurant is not to be missed.
Mildred, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The best hotel ever. The check-in process made us feel like kings. All the staff couldn't be nicer, especially Nicholas from the front desk. Amazing and beautiful hotel.

Gill

Excellent location and very central. Pool was lovely but small. Breakfast was very good with a wide selection to choose from. I had booked two rooms but my guests arrived before me and were made to pay before they could check in so that was a little embarrassing.
Gillian, 7-night trip

6/10 Good

The roof top is a circus. Everyone could go and it’s absolutely chaotic. The swimming pool is very small and crowded. I guess you can’t expect anything else from such a massive hotel. That will my last stay.
Fabio G., 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Perfectly perfect

The rooftop is probably one of the Best view in Madrid. The room is spacious and it’s perfect for a family of 4. The pool, the breakfast are delicious. Perfect location.
Jean-François, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Roof top bar closed for private event

Friendly. Check in, good amenities, nice room. The roof top bar was CLOSED for private events both days I was there so what was a big selling point for this hotel wasn’t available. If I’d known I would have booked somewhere else because there’s plenty of other good hotels to chose from
John, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Massive place is essentially a huge ramada inn

small room with view onto a window shaft, fake rug is generic astroturf, clogged and confusing elevator system, hundreds of guests packed into crowded lobby/common spaces including cafeteria, where breakfast is fine but nothing special. Location is great, and the building is iconic, but tThere are many better hotel options in that corner of Madrid.

We stayed in the presidential suite, and it was unbelievable! The two balconies had the best views of the city, and it was spacious and beautifully decorated. The staff and service were absolutely outstanding.
jeff, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is THE hotel we stay at in Madrid when my wife and I visit Madrid. The hotel is centrally located at the end of La Gran Via and across Plaza de España. Walkable to restaurants, shopping, and of course La Puerta del Sol and La Plaza Mayor.
Reinaldo, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The elevator system could go with some improvements. We also had no access to the rooftop due to two days of private functions. Otherwise the hotel was really nice and its location quite superb.
