Hotels near Biological Research Center in Madrid

Very good, modern hotel, in a fantastic location in the city. This hotel is less than 5 minutes walk from the local Metro station and less than 10 minutes walk to Plaza de España and the beginning of Grand Via. To reach the very Centre of the city (Sol) it's only 20 minutes by foot or you can use the Metro with only one change. We paid direct to the reception for breakfast on one of our 3 mornings and it was well worth the money. A good range of tasty food and drink on offer. The bed was very comfy. The WiFi worked very well. Air con was excellent. All the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We will return to this hotel.

We were in superior room and it is quite big with big flat TV. The bed is also big and comfy. The location is excellent to get out of Madrid by car or take a taxi or public transport to go anywhere in the city. The parking is connected with the hotel, very convenient to bring the luggage to the room by lift and it is big enough for huge cars like ours. The price of parking is reasonable considering the general prices of parking in Madrid. The breakfast is not buffet, they give you a couple of choices that for us was enough. If you want some extra things you have to pay for it. The price for regular breakfast is half of the usual buffet. We think that people usually waste a lot of food when it is buffet, so we agree with this style. The coffee machine for the breakfast is Nespresso and so the coffee is great. The staff is kind, polite and fast when we request anything. It is a pity that their restaurant is not open yet for lunch or dinner, just for the breakfast.

Please Avoid this place. It is cheap but nothing else! I stayed here checked into the receiption which is 24 hours after my working day. The place is near the metro cuatro caminos (a mainly poorer area of Madrid with lots of south american population). The area does have a 24 hour supermarket which was good as the hostal has no food/drink facilities. The room was a very small single bed as I was alone on an education course for my job. The room had a fan and tv and a small table. Once you switch off the light the fan goes off so you cannot sleep with the fan on at night with 39c heat. you cannot leave the window open as its not a safe place. The first moment I checked in, i quickly went outside to get air and get the metro outside. They checked in a drunk african man at 6pm in the evening who was walking up the stairs with a can of beer unable to walk or see anything (their is no lift to the rooms) you need to walk up around 50 stairs to the rooms. They take anyone from the streets if they pay the small charge to stay here. Second day, the two receiptionists or owners were fighting over money from the hotel they were shouting and getting agressive. Its was an uncomfortable situation to see. I left and came back after work for a shower and the room had not been cleaned. They said you didnt put a badge on the door saying clean my room. Couldnt they knock and say something? Very strange way of working? The next day I put the badge clean my room but NO nothing changed. It was an excuse.. Then I went and complained he didnt speak any English and didnt want to know he said the cleaners left and nothing he can do. I pulled off the bedsheets, but the bed protector was badly stained with blood and I also got a skin rash. I left the property 1 day early, it was disgusting. The toilets were not cleaned either and insects were crawling everywhere. This place should be closed down immediately. They dont take security or cleaning seriously, they dont want to know problems only take your money. I explained to Expedia about this place but the hotel denied everything. SHAME!!!

I stayed here for one night only on a Bed & Breakfast basis. I chose this hotel because it's on the same Metro line 7 for direct access to the Wanda Metropolitano stadium the home of Athletico Madrid Football Club. The nearest Metro Station - Canal - Line 7 - is a 5-7 minute walk away. I was in Madrid to watch football. I had a single room which was extremely small but it had every facility I needed, plus it had water and tea/coffee in the room. The breakfast was nice with plenty of choice on offer. Near the hotel, I found a real local bar where I enjoyed a few beers after the game. The following day, I was travelling to Barcelona by train from Atocha Station. From Canal Metro Station take Line 2, Direction Los Rosas and change at Sol to Line 1, Direction Valdecarros, and get off at Atocha Station.

This was our first stay at the Principe Pio Hotel, we booked a room with a Palace view. On arrival we were upgraded to a top floor suite by very friendly staff on reception. The room was delightful and looked like it had recently been decorated. We had terrific views of the Palace. The room was kept in tip top shape on a daily basis and nothing too much trouble for the staff. One minor gripe was the mattress was a little firm for our tastes. Our first night was inadvertently spent with the windows ajar and it could be noisy as it’s on a main road combined with the peacocks calling from the palace garden. From then on with the windows closed it was absolutely fine, the aircon worked very well and was whisper quiet. Although this is classed as a 3* hotel we had a safe, fridge and tea making facilities to make our stay really comfortable. There is a roof terrace with plenty of seating to enjoy the sunshine too.

The location of the hotel is very good, and there are a lot of open-air restaurants and shopping places. But the hotel has a certain room type that can accommodate three people. Whether the couple carries a child or the parents carries two children, the front desk strictly implements the rules for two people. You need to add money to another room type with a sofa bed to accommodate three people. This information hotel did not provide at all when booking with Ctrip.

After zero sleep on JFK to Madrid flight, I stopped by AC Hotel Los Vacos where my husband was checking out at noon. I arrived a the hotel around 8:45 AM, and a front desk staff kindly led me to the cafe area where my husband was having breakfast. My husband asked me if I wanted to get breakfast, but I said no because I was so exhausted and had no appetite. There was coffee & tea and some juice in a separate section from the cafe. I thought It was for the hotel guest. When I was pouring myself a tea and OJ, a wait staff stood behind me and used a very stern tone, ”What's your room number”, I did not know my husband's room number, and I said, ”could you ask my husband?” She got a room number from my husband, and nothing was explained.  We went to his room, and I passed out for 2 hours. Just before noon, we went to the front desk to check out and asked about an extra 5 euros charge. He said my husband paid for his room and breakfast, but the cafe staff charged him 5 euros for the tea I had in the paper cup. I said, ”It's okay to charge for the drink, but I would have liked it to be explained instead of treated like a thrive and just charged 5 euros. The front staff said, ”Okay, taking out 5 euros charge, but the wait staff doesn't speak English, and if the person doesn't speak a  language, the communication can be crude.” ”Do you speak Spanish?” I said, ”poco” and he said, ”See, 'poco' is not the way how we reply.”  There you have it. If you like your hotel staff to treat you like a thief and criticize your poor Spanish, this is a hotel for you. I was looking forward to my first overseas trip after the pandemic; what a disappointing start to my experience in Spain. What a welcome... 

A good choice for accommodation**** one or two nights and visit Madrid for any event (we use it for games in Bernabéu). The hotel is very comfortable and very comfortable.

I just came back from a 2 night trip to Madrid with friends for my hen do. The hotel was only 15 minutes from the airport, near a metro station, and in a nice area. The rooms were modern and clean, great showers, and the rooftop bar and pool were excellent, especially when it's 37 degrees! My only niggle was that the VIP loungers were too expensive, so unused by anyone while we were there. If the hotel allowed you to pay a nominal fee, as long as you spent X amount on drinks, that would seem fairer. Will be back I hope!

Good place to stay for short trips to Madrid, we will probably book again at the property in the future, perhaps with breakfast and late check out for a change. We loved the enviroment and atmosphere. Beds where confy, but if you have big luggage it may be an issue Lockers available as well.
