“Good hotel, good location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 9, 2012

This is my first trip to Madrid and first stay at the Intercontinental Madrid. The hotel is good generally and good location but the hotel does need a revamp. Boasts old furniture. Booked an executive room and was offered an upgrade to an "executive room". I don't know how they worked that one out. Was upgraded to a suite for the misunderstanding. Average to say the least. Very dull room. Not much choice for snacks at the club lounge. Mediocre compared to other intercontinental hotels I stayed i such as London, Moscow, Dubai, Cyprus and Italy. In any case cannot compare to other hotels in Madrid, never stayed in any.

Room Tip: Ask for a room facing the side street for the extra sleep quality as well as a high floor.

“very comfortable bedroom”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 5, 2012

I stayed here twice and I have to say that the beds are so comfortable, nice pillows, very clean room and bathroom, definitely one of my favorites hotels and I hope I back someday again. Very good breakfast and food in general super good. Gym was ok, but what I loved more was the bed quality I really had a nice rest on it, it helped me to relax in my business trip there.

“A good luxury hotel, in line with expectations”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 2, 2012

The hotel has all the attributes of a luxury one. I had the chance to have a spacious room, with a huge terrace that gave me the opportunity to enjoy a bit of the autumn sun. The room in itself was very comfortable, the room service at a very good level.
The breakfast around the patio is very good.

“Great Hotel in good location.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 27, 2012

I was with my wife in Madrit for 3 days on our anniversary .The hotel is nice and staff very friendly and helpfull .
It is a bit disappointing that waiters in the restaurant doesn't speak english at all what is inappropriate for 5* hotel. However we had a great time. Will be back as soon as we improove our Spanish ;-) .

Room Tip: Inside room is very dark . Hard to see day light .

“Comfortable, Small Rooms, Excellent Sunday Brunch”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 26, 2012

We were in Madrid for a 3-4 city break. The hotel is quite typical of an intercontinental. The reception is rather small but there is a concierge which were always helpful. The lobby bar is large with a pleasant atmosphere.

In general all staff were very friendly throughout the stay. The sunday brunch was excellent, I have to say the best I've ever had but in fact the hotel is famous for this in Madrid.

It isn't centrally located (centre about 4 km away) but located on a pleasant main boulevard leading out from the centre.

The hotel has a great gym but unfortunately no sauna or jacuzzi. A garage is also available.

I would recommend the hotel to prospective travellers.

Room Tip: The standard rooms are small. Try a different category.
