Enjoyable Madrid at Hotel Francisco.
Great place to stay. Location is excellent. Opera Metro is the closed, around 3-4minutes walk. We have stayed in Madrid a few times and would rebook here in an instant. So close to many attractions or via the metro access. The breakfast is also excellent. Staff are friendly and accommodating.

Lovely property with an amazing location, the only issue was that on Expedia the doble bed room shows as "sleeps 3" we showed up with our daughter of 7 yrs and the older man receptionist force us upgrade to their bigger suite for an extra €50 per night, I asked him if it was necessary? And he reply we "have to upgrade to fit my daughter" it was a long flight so I said yes without thinking, the new room was great no complaint on that but if they advertise as "sleep 3" they shouldn't force you to upgrade rooms to fit 3. Other than that the hotel is great, amazing location and great stay for us.

Nice location, clean, helpful and friendly staff, very nice buffet breakfast included, discreet entrance. Only negatives were super firm (uncomfortable) bed, unable to change air conditioner temperature ( got way too cold) Only a sheet on the bed—no blanket, or coverlet. Had to ask for a blanket ( which was delivered promptly) because air conditioner was super cold. This was on late July. Would stay there again despite negatives, though.

Our favorite Hotel
This is our favorite hotel in Madrid! We’ve been coming here for the last 6 years at least once/year. The hotel is very well decorated, the staff is attentive and very helpful. The rooms are clean and spacious. Last but not least it is in a perfect location between 2 main metro stations and everything (tourist wise) is walking distance.

The staff at the front desk were kind and helpful with checking in. The cleaning staff were excellent and very friendly. Mai who is the lead bartender and restaurant manager was an amazing addition to this wonderful staff and location in the heart of Puerta Del Sol, Madrid. Leaving the hotel I felt as though are week long stay connected me to the city of Madrid and the staff at Hotel Francisco I.

Amazing hotel, incredible staff. The location was convenient to many sites of Madrid. Lots of close by food and shopping options. Breakfast was beautiful with lots of options; definitely worth adding it. Our room was comfortable with a great bed, lots of storage for luggage and a big terrace. The only small complaint is the door to the bathroom does not afford a lot of privacy.

Can’t go wrong!
The hotel staff was absolutely amazing. They were very friendly and provided excellent customer service. The hotel is also in a great location and was relatively close to many attractions. The hotel lobby was beautiful and had a lot of space for gathering/socializing, including a rooftop bar and outdoor patio. The room size was pretty small, but would be comfortable if staying alone. Overall it was a great experience.
