For me, the hotel was perfect. The location is fantastic being right at the centre of things yet slightly removed from the very hectic Gran Via. The room was very comfortable and bright with a window that opens. There were no sounds from within the hotel or from the city outside. The bathroom was big with a huge shower. Plenty of room to hang clothes and store luggage. The room is well fitted out with two padded benches (perfect for putting on shoes) , a small desk and a comfortable chair. The breakfast buffet is ample. I ate three times in the Cafe Variela, on the ground floor, and the food was delicious. Highly recommend.

“Good mid priced hotel in a central location”

We arrived very late , (11pm) tired and hungry. The reception staff arranged a table for us in the restaurent, which was excellent. We weren’t happy with the first room and the receptionists were very quick to help and move us to a better one the next morning. Very clean and comfortable hotel, very good and varied breakfast. The restaurant , Cafe Varela, was really good, so much so we ate there the second night too. Loved the bar, met some very interesting people there. Full of local people and a great atmosphere. We would certainly stay there again on our next visit to Madrid.

Hotel Preciados is an elegant, high quality hotel in a good area of Madrid, convenient to many of the major sights, metro, and dining. Although it has an old-world feel, the pubic spaces and rooms are very modern and stylish with quality finishes. Our room was spacious and clean, with quality linens. The front desk staff and servers in the adjoining restaurant were friendly and efficient. In fact, one of the pluses is the wonderful breakfast buffet with plenty of selections. Our room was on the fourth floor overlooking the busy Calle Preciados, which is mainly a pedestrian street. What that means is that it's noisy at night (and into the wee small hours) with diners and revelers. We had to wear ear plugs to get a decent night's sleep. I would suggest you ask for a room on the other sides of the hotel. Secondly, our bath room had a wall of glass which provided no privacy, even for the toilet. This may be stylish and trendy for some people, but it was jarring to us. It did appear that other rooms have more conventional bathrooms, so you could ask for one as part of your reservation request.

“Not room 702”

Breakfast is excellent and Cafe Varela is worth dining in but make a very specific room request when booking. There are at least two effectively “basement “ rooms which, while perfect rooms in themselves, have no windows nor natural light. 702 is one of them. It sure isn’t on the 7th floor! It w... more

Breakfast is excellent and Cafe Varela is worth dining in but make a very specific room request when booking. There are at least two effectively “basement “ rooms which, while perfect rooms in themselves, have no windows nor natural light. 702 is one of them. It sure isn’t on the 7th floor! It was like being a mole for two nights. That maybe is why we were given them and also why I did not ask for a move but if staying longer this would have been an unpleasant experience. Conversely had we had a room with daylight this would have been an excellent hotel being very close to at least four metro lines giving easy access all over town. Be aware the left luggage facility at Atocha is not open and has not been for some time.
