POSITIVES. Large, comfortable room. Plush looking hotel. Quiet neighborhood. Quiet room. NEGATIVES. High prices. For example, the hotel charges 4 euros for an hour of wifi internet connection. Also, as someone else noted, seems like "pretentious service". Staff answered questions, but didn't seem to really care if you were happy. Location is a bit isolated from most tourist attractions. more

This hotel acts a little like it's better than everything else in the area when it's really just a standard 3.5 - 4-star hotel. Rooms are clean and decently appointed, but nothing special. The location is wonderful and given Madrid's price in general, I'd say this is a pretty good value. It's close enough to everything but still quiet and... more

A last minute trip to Madrid to visit my brother-in-law saw us book this excellently located hotel. Just off the end of Serrano and within easy walking distance of Sol and Goya, the hotel's real trump card was the Cuban bar in the basement, featuring live music and dancing. A real treat. more

Excellent Hotel Overall. Staff were very helpful. Rooms were nice & clean. Good Location. 10-15 minute walk to Parque del Retiro. Plenty of shops & cafes close to the Hotel. Breakfast was Excellent & Served till 11am. Hotel is very convenient for Metro from the airport which costs €2. more

I stayed here for 4 nights at the end of my overseas holiday. It was the perfect way to relax in city I love. I stayed here at the Melia back in 2007 when I did a tour and spent 4 nights then. So I was glad to return to a clean and quiet hotel this year. I was very... more

As a woman alone and because I was staying in Madrid for several weeks, it was important to me to be in a comfortable, upscale and safe hotel. The hotel is comfortable and located in one of the best neighborhoods of Madrid “the Barrio de Salamanca”. In general, the staff was polite and helpful. They upgraded me and gave me... more

Bit surprised about some of the reviews. We had a good time. Upon arrival the check in staff were very helpful, provided us with a map of the city and tips on where to go. The hotel is clean, well looked after and our room was sizeable and perfect for the trip. This is a hotel you want for when... more

Despite some minor concerns on my first visit, I chose Galgos for a second time for its convenient location. First time I had a standard room, which was extremely small. This time I chose the "superior" room and it was ok. Everything impecably clean, but wall to wall carpets and bathroom should be renewed soon, it is not up to... more

This was the second time I've stayed here (the last time was for business rather than pleasure). The Melia Galgos must have the best breakfast in town - in fact I've never seen such a huge variety and I practically live in hotels - I would say the breakfast table is at least 40 foot long and they also do... more
