Hotel Meninas

After some browsing online and Unilocaling, we booked a couple night’s stay at Hotel Meninas. It couldn’t have be a lovelier start of our Spain trip. Easy to take the public transportation from the airport. Once we got to the plaza, it took some guessing to find the right street. Asked some magazine vendors but the language barrier made it quite challenging. With the help of some finger pointing and our phone GPS, we finally made our way to the hotel.
Nothing fancy as far as room space but bed was comfortable, and that was our main requirement. Nice bathroom and shower. FREE Wifi, although weak in the room but pretty strong in the lobby, that was where we spent some time after breakfasts to catch up on emails and FB posts. The breakfast is worth mentioning, and also worth the extra charge for our stay. It was a nice spread with lots of choices, sweet and savory. We usually end up skipping lunch after such a hearty breakfast — better for your metabolism to kickstart your day with a good meal, right?!! :-)
If we were to come back to Madrid for a short stay passing through, we would not hesitate to stay here again, highly recommend!

i stayed in a single room, and it was tiny. the bathroom, however, was really large, and they should have saved some of that space for the bdrm! the wifi is totally unreliable in the rooms, but it is pretty strong in the lobby.

Great location, near Opera Metro. Nice quite street. We stayed in a room overlooking the street and it was super quiet. Nice down pillows and comforters, our only hotel in Spain that had down. Small rooms but comfortable. Tub and shower, nice water pressure and very hot water. Large breakfast room in the basement. It is worth the extra charge to have breakfast here. It is a huge hot buffet with everything. Nice not to worry about breakfast when traveling.

great Hotel, clean, good value, cute rooms, very nice style, free internet
my absolute favorite in madrid!

Das Hotel liegt unlängst der Opera und ist deshalb wenn unter 100EUR zu buchen ok. Die Zimmer sind extrem eng und auf den Gängen riecht es nach billigtsen Parfüm, was bei längeren Aufenthalten nervt. Es gibt ein zum Hotel gehöriges Café «Café Opera» in dem man für ca 2EUR einen Kaffee und ein Schoko croissant bekommt. Das Personal ist freundlich und die Sauberkeit akzeptabel Die Betten sind nichts für Leute mit Rückenproblemen. Da nicht an einer Hauptverkehrsstrasse gelegen ist es relativ ruhig.

This is a lovely boutique hotel in a quiet backstreet of Madrid which is so close to Opera and the Puerta del Sol you would not believe anywhere within such proximity could be so quiet! Even basic rooms have very large, terribly comfortable beds, a flat screen television, wi-​fi access and the all-​important air conditioning. The wardrobe was discreet and deceptively big, while the lovely writing desk and delightful stationary made me want to spend the whole of my time in Madrid writing letters to friends from my hotel room!
The marble and slate bathroom was superb, with a massive and stylish shower and very large basin which could easily accommodate toothpastes, toothbrushes, flannels, soaps razors and random assorted products of two people! The vast mirror was another very nice touch, and did not seem to steam up while the shower was being used, but whether this has been specially designed I do not know.
Breakfast was a generous continental buffet with cooked options available on request and a staggering variety of fruit juices. Despite being a draw for northern Europeans, the heat of August means that most Spaniards and Madrileños escape the interior of Spain, making this month an incredibly cost effective way of visiting this great city. Meninas, a four star hotel, offers very generous special offers on its website during this off-​season, and is certainly not alone in doing so.
For both comfort and location, this is a great place to stay in Madrid.
