Regente Hotel - Madrid, Spain 

Good location and value

Generally good, both in location, room facilities and breakfast. However, the ventilator fan was not working throughout our 3-day stay and there was no one going to fix it despite we had informed the reception about the problem on the first day. The room was facing Gran Via and it was very noisy the whole night. Convenient location to all major attractions and shopping areas.

This was my 1st trip to Spain. I took the Metro from Barrajas (not recommended if you have several items of luggage) and easily found the hotel, right off Gran Via, with a large, hard-to-miss sign. It is 2 to 3 blocks from 2 major Metro stops...Gran Via and Callao. Gran Via stop is on the #1 route directly from Atocha Station to Chamartin Station, perfect for day-trips by train. The hotel is in walking distance of the Prado Museum/Retiro Park and the Palacio Real, as well as Puerta del Sol (lots of construction there) and Plaza Mayor. The breakfast buffet has a variety of offerings: scrambled eggs, pastries, cheese and meats, etc. The lounge serves sandwiches etc in the evening, and has a big-screen TV for sporting events, etc. Internet access is 10 euros/24 hours. One day, I could not get it to work. The desk staff was helpful, but could not get it to work either, and I was not charged. Next door to the hotel is a flamenco club, Torrres de Berjema, which is well-regarded, and put on a good show. The hotel staff recommended the show only, as their opinion was dinner was a bit too pricey. I would definitely stay here again.

The hotel is in a good location. No help with baggage, but the personnel were nice. Elevator big enough for 3. We asked for a triple room and got a very large and spacious room with two separate twin beds (not together as we found in most of the other hotels in Spain) and one fold down bed, which was comfortable. We didn't use any of the hotel facilities, so I can't judge them. The breakfast, as we found in almost all Spanish hotels, was way overpriced. I would stay there again.

Si bien solo estuve dos días puedo decir que el hotel fue excelente. La ubicación es perfecta, a pocos pasos de todo. El desayuno es muy bueno. La habitación chica, pero como estaba solo me pasó desapercibido. No conozco cómo serán las habitaciones dobles. El check out no es tan temprano como en otros hoteles y como mi avión salía muy tarde me permitieron, sin costo, dejar las valijas en un cuarto cerrado destinado a ese fin e incluso cambiarme en el hotel luego de haber dejado ya la habitación. Volvería sin lugar a dudas.

This hotel/hostal was very bright, attractive and welcoming. Nice baths, hot showers, and conveniences. Occasionally noisy guests in the halls in early morning hours, but that's not the hotel's fault. Good housekeeping services, and someone around for any extra needs.
