Top Madrid Hotel Reviews

Hotel Riu Plaza España

Hotel Riu Plaza España

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel is well center and close to many major tourists attractions. The staff was welcoming and helpful when you had a question or needed help. The only thing it can improve in is when they clean the room to knock on the door as courtesy before entering as sometimes someone can be inside. Also if the person can change the bed sheets whitout the guess needed to put a paper on the bed asking for the sheets to be change. Having the soap and toilet paper well stock in the room helps. In the breakfast having once in a while some other food other then eggs as the main protein source helps with habing a better experience in breakfast."
