This review is for the service, food, atmosphere, decor and price ($) because I didn't get to actually stay in the hotel...
Two words: five stars!
Hopefully you can see by my photos how beautiful the place is but unfortunately you can't taste the amazing goodies I had there and the excellent service provided to me by the wait staff.
Prices are super accessible too. I can't wait to go back to Madrid! What a city! And this place is top notch too! Can't miss! -

Are you a vegan living off of patatas bravas and in need of some serious protein? I love potatoes as much as the next person but that's not a sustainable lifestyle, unfortunately. Asia Gallery will hook you up with delicious tofu sautéed with vegetables. I don't know if I was just nutrient deprived or what, but I went nuts for what I expected to be a pretty boring dish. I made everyone try it, though, because the vegetables were so fresh and amazing. The asparagus and mushrooms were especially on point.
Our waitress understood what vegan was and guaranteed that there was nothing fishy with my dish. She took care to bring me plain rice when the table ordered fried. I just felt super comfortable eating here, and the food was so satisfying. I finished with a cup of mint tea that was pretty perfect.
I was with a few people who speak perfect Spanish, so I'm not sure how well I would've been able to communicate with the staff on my own, but since this is in a hotel, I have a feeling it wouldn't have been too difficult. -

Ambiance, service and even price wise for a restaurant in a luxury hotel, it deserve 4 stars. However, for the taste of the food...I was sad to say that the food was just okay. Soft shell crab was too salty and the recommended spicy prawns were just that, mayonnaise and sriracha sauce mixed together. I reallllly really want to praise the lobster and scallops but it was just frustrating...I wanted it so bad to be as good as the place and the service, but the taste was just just okay. I probably should have ordered something else, but alas, first impression for the food was not promising. I might give it a go next time I want to go to somewhere fancy.

The hotel has many charms--from the elegant facade to the above-average service--but it also has numerous issues.
We had a room overlooking Neptune's fountain and that was the highlight of our room. The room itself was overwhelmingly plain and showed numerous signs of wear (stains here, there, and everywhere; bathroom ceiling peeling, leaky/squeaky shower door, etc.). More than anything the room felt very dated and many important details seemed to have been neglected. For instance, the bathroom was railroad style (e.g. hallway length) and the toilet/bidet area was in the very back. On its own this is meaningless, but when you realize there are no dim or night-oriented lights, you quickly realize that you must trudge this distance guided by blazingly bright lights should you need to relieve yourself during the night.
There were no cotton balls/pads in the room. Also no qtips/cotton swabs. Fortunately, at this late point in our trip, I was traveling with both. If you need these common toiletries and choose to stay here, I recommend that you bring them with you.
Our less than stellar experience with the restaurant (La Rotonda) deserves its own review, but suffice it to say that we disliked the majority of the food we were served. The service in the restaurant was relatively quick, kind, and attentive, but untouched dishes should have garnered some verbal curiosity (if not a prompt for replacement or substitution) at the very least. They were simply whisked away wordlessly. We'd have complained and/or protested, but we were simply too tired to bother (this was the last night of a 10 day trip). Lastly, the restaurant's atmosphere is visually engaging, but it lacks intimacy (e.g. it's a cavernous and somewhat disjointed space).
The overall service in the hotel was very good. All of our requests were responded to in a timely manner and both our check in and check out were relatively quick and pleasant.
The location of this hotel is quite good as it's adjacent to the Prado Museum, fronts the fountain of Neptune, and is very centrally located. Numerous museums and restaurants (among other establishments) are within easy walking distance.
Fortunately, we only spent one night here, but one was more than enough. We would not consider staying here again.
BOTTOM LINE: A charming, but dated hotel that needs renovating. Our room showed many signs of wear and lacked toiletries that were common elsewhere. Not worth the price we paid. -

Very easy review....
Beautiful hotel. The lobby is incredible. Staff and the rooms are first class. The rooms are very traditional. The public areas are very clean and very inviting.
The hotel is centrally located in the business and tourist areas.
