Madrid Hotels with Breakfast

Review of Casa Faraona Luxury Residences, Madrid I recently had the pleasure of staying at Casa Faraona Luxury Residences in Madrid, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. From the moment we arrived, we were enveloped in an atmosphere of elegance and comfort that truly set the tone for our stay. Incredible Room Experience The room we stayed in was nothing short of spectacular. Every detail was meticulously crafted, exhibiting a perfect blend of luxury and comfort. The bed was heavenly, adorned with silky sheets that made it feel like a dream. It was the perfect retreat after a day of exploring the vibrant city. Exceptional Service The service at Casa Faraona was outstanding. The staff were genuinely welcoming, attentive, and eager to ensure our stay was perfect. They went above and beyond to cater to our needs, making us feel like valued guests every step of the way. Delicious Breakfast and Free Cocktails One of the highlights of our stay was the breakfast. Each morning, we were treated to a delightful spread that catered to every taste, from fresh pastries to hearty options. Additionally, the complimentary cocktails were a lovely touch, allowing us to unwind and enjoy the ambiance of the residence. Prime Location The location of Casa Faraona Luxury Residences couldn’t be better. Nestled in the heart of Madrid, it provided easy access to some of the city’s top attractions, dining, and shopping. We loved being able to explore the vibrant streets and return to our luxurious oasis at the end of the day. In conclusion, Casa Faraona Luxury Residences exceeded all our expectations. With its stunning rooms, impeccable service, delicious breakfast, complimentary cocktails, and prime location, it offers an unforgettable experience. I can’t wait to return and make more wonderful memories in this beautiful hotel!

Pro: The room itself was good. Clean and comfortable. Cons: I also need to mention that i was travelling with medicine that needs to be in certain temperature. When i arrived, i asked them to put my ice gel in freezer. I mention this 3 times. Its supposed to be in freezer, not refrigerator. They still put my ice gel in refrigerator so the ice gel is not frozen when i need it. It seems nothing for you, but for someone who needs the medicine it is actually very important. Another incident: i go down to receptions for tooth brush, receptions said they will send it to my room. I waited and nobody came. Then i called, the receptions told me to go to receptions again to pick the tooth brush because he found noone can send to the room. Then why didn’t he just gave it when i go to receptions the first time. There is nothing wrong with your hotel but please train your receptions better.

Friendly reception service, spacious carpark and room, wide selection of breakfast buffet ! Really enjoyed our stays ! Highest recommendation!

The hotel is located right next to Retiro Park, on the edge of Madrid's central business district. It takes over half an hour by subway to get to the Royal Palace or the Prado Museum area, or about 15 minutes by taxi. The nearest metro station is a very close 3-minute walk away. The hotel's cleanliness was decent, but it's clear the facilities are quite old. I booked a room without breakfast, but for some reason, breakfast was complimentary, which was a nice surprise. The variety wasn't extensive, but the taste was acceptable. You could also order from a menu.

The hotel is very close to the subway, about a 5-minute walk. It's also about a 20-minute walk to the Spanish Steps. Aside from the small room, everything else was pretty good. The staff were mostly very welcoming and helpful.

Great location, very close to Goya station. Most of Madrid's main attractions are just a few stops away. We booked a family room, which was spacious and well-equipped. One day we had the 'do not disturb' sign on the door, so no room cleaning was done. In the evening, a staff member brought extra towels and toilet paper. The drinks and snacks in the mini-bar were complimentary. Overall, we were very satisfied!

Everything is perfect except the hotel location which is a little far from the nearest metro station and of course, away from the main shopping district and attractions. However, the comfort of the room more than made up for it. The shower head pressure was strong, the sheets were clean and crisp, and the a/c and heater worked fine. The housekeeping service was pretty stellar as well, and we even got a can of olive oil as a welcome gift as well as a bagel as part of the Three Kings’ celebration. If you are looking at doing your laundry, note that the nearest laundromat is abt a 7mins walk away (300m). Bring your bedroom slippers too as the hotel doesn’t provide any. Overall, we had a great stay at Hard Rock Madrid and will recommend all who are looking for a lux stay at a reasonable cost.

My stay started very well, with an excellent experience at reception. The member of staff who welcomed us was extremely friendly, attentive and helpful, which created a very positive first impression. I also noticed the same friendliness from different members of staff during the evenings, especially when I returned to the hotel after going out. This was definitely one of the highlights of my stay. However, over the course of the stay, several points caused some discomfort. The room does not get completely dark, as the blackout curtain does not cover the entire window. This becomes particularly noticeable in the morning and makes it more difficult to sleep properly. The sound insulation is also not the best. Every day, noise starts around 7–8am, either from other guests moving around or from the cleaning staff, which makes it difficult to sleep a little longer. Another issue is the bathroom shower enclosure, which does not contain the water properly. After taking a shower, a considerable amount of water ends up on the bathroom floor. Apart from being inconvenient for the guest, I imagine this also creates unnecessary additional work for the cleaning staff. I stayed at the same chain's hotel in Santo Tirso, Portugal, and this was not an issue there. At breakfast, the tables are frequently left dirty, and the way guests are checked in — “Is it for breakfast? What is your room number?” — can feel somewhat abrupt, particularly because of the way the question is delivered by the person there. At the Santo Tirso hotel, my experience was much more natural and welcoming in this regard. I also missed some small complimentary touches that I had at the Santo Tirso hotel, such as water in the room, a small chocolate, snack (peanuts) and a coffee machine. These are small details, but they do make a difference to the overall guest experience. On the positive side, the daily room cleaning was exceptional, genuinely spotless. This was definitely one of the strongest points of my stay. I also appreciated the reception machine available to guests with cold water. Having easy access to cold water was a nice touch and something I particularly appreciated. Regarding the location, being close to the airport is certainly convenient for guests who need that proximity. However, the surrounding area has some abandoned and occupied buildings, which creates a certain feeling of insecurity, particularly when leaving a car parked on the street. Overall, there are some very positive aspects, especially the friendliness of the staff, the excellent room cleaning and the convenient facilities such as the cold-water machine. However, there are also several areas where the hotel could improve, particularly regarding noise, room darkening, the bathroom shower enclosure and the breakfast service. As our stay was not primarily because of the airport, I am not sure we would choose this hotel again unless proximity to the airport was an important requirement.

This review is not about the €9 breakfast charge. I paid for the breakfast because I had eaten it. This review is about how I was treated afterwards. A simple misunderstanding over breakfast escalated into one of the most unprofessional hotel experiences I have ever had. After I politely suggested that the hotel communicate its breakfast policy more clearly to avoid similar misunderstandings in the future, a staff member, Yansel, began shouting at me from outside the hotel, called me back inside, repeatedly accused me of “trying to play with him,” raised his voice throughout the interaction, claimed that he was the manager, refused my request to speak with the General Manager, and aggressively handled my personal belongings. He pushed and kicked my luggage towards the exit, damaged my bags, repeatedly shouted at me to take my belongings and leave, and I also felt mocked while trying to communicate in English instead of being treated with patience and professionalism. As a solo female traveller, I found this behaviour intimidating and completely unacceptable. Guests should be able to raise feedback respectfully without being shouted at, aggressively confronted, or having their belongings handled in this manner. I later spoke with Raul, who was professional, apologised for the way I had been treated, acknowledged that there had been been a misunderstanding regarding the breakfast, confirmed that I was entitled to leave my luggage after check-out, and informed me that Yansel was not the General Manager or the manager. I appreciate Raul’s professionalism. However, that does not change what happened. Based on my experience, I would not recommend staying at Hotel Mayerling Madrid. There are many hotels in Madrid where guests can expect to be treated with professionalism and respect. In my experience, this was not one of them. As a solo female traveller, I did not feel safe after the way this situation was handled. For that reason, I cannot recommend this hotel and would encourage other travellers to consider alternative accommodation.

The industrial-style decor was as basic as it gets, which was fine since I only needed to sleep for five hours before catching my flight. There was no view from the window, it was completely blocked. It's a convenient ten-minute drive to the airport, and there's also a shuttle bus available.
