indeed a bit old fashioned, but located in a great place in Madrid. Next to Retiro park, great for jogging. Best shops in town around the corner, the same for restaurants. But if you are tired and just want room service, you will be surprised by high quality products and very decent wines at "normal prices". More

When you enter a 5-star luxury hotel, you expect the best. So Wellington doesn't keep the promise in full. Some things are good, some are very poor.Of course the hotel is beautiful and conveniently located (minutes away from the Retire Park) in downtown Madrid. But that's it. The room was not so spacious (and it's ok considering it's an old... More

Victorian era Grand Hotel. Some rooms a bit shabby but others have been redecorated and are much better for it. Good location, good breakfast. Nice lobby, foyer area. Have stayed several times for business and pleasure. Minibar ridiculously over priced though. More

The Hedonist speaks.    The Wellington is a grand old building that feels very upscale and comfortable. The staff are all terrific, helpful, friendly and efficient. The rooms are well appointed and comfortable.  Breakfast (22€) with no a la cart available, is held in a dedicated room and the buffet is huge and a perfect way to start the day,... More

Stayed at this great hotel for 3 days on our first ever trip to Spain, The staff and service were great and they were very good in terms of recommendations of local attractions. This is an easy subway ride from the airport and within walking distance of most downtown sites and very close to Retiro Park. The city is great... More

Beginning with it's amazing friendly staff, the Wellington is a one of the kind hotels in the heart of Madrid. Located just minutes from El Retiro, you are able to walk to shops and restaurants to find great deals and enjoy exquisite meals!!!! Highly recommended!!!!! More

The Wellington is apparently knowed as the toreadors hotel. I just loved my stay. The room are not the nicest nor the most modern but there is an ancient charme to the entire hotel. Bathrooms are very 70's but are super clean. Then you can access to the pool area that is quite modern and a real plus in the... More

The Wellington local life. The elders of the area go for cocktails and get together there. Also, the terrace outside with a local shoe shinner is a must. Breakfast at the cafeteria is great. What I find most rewarding is the staff at the front desk. Courteous, well informed and always willing to help. Most of them have been there... More
