Excellent location. Room was small with one very small window but clean. Check in was quick and easy. Staff friendly and helpful. Incredible rooftop bar area with a small glass floor deck and cat walk for interesting photo ops for those brave enough. Breakfast buffet was incredible every thing you could want.

Premium hotel with a fantastic breakfast buffet, helpful staff, and proximity to restaurants and public transportation. A bit noisy but thats to be expected in a center city hotel. Mattress was a bit soft and not super comfy but thats the only negative.

Loved everything about the hotel and the room, with two exceptions. The pros -comfortable bed, refrigerator, desk for working, large spacious bathroom with amazing shower and the unbeatable views from the rooftop. The two cons- automatic light in bathroom that came on in the middle of the night even when nobody was in there and the hair dryer, it would overheat and it took me good half hour to dry hair waiting for it to cool down.

Hotel Riu Plaza Espana is an excellent 1956 built, but modernized recently Madrid hotel. I stayed 4 nights. Hotel has 27 floors, including an exciting 27th floor rooftop bar with the best 360 degree views in all of Madrid. I appreciate that hotel security is provided against people just coming and going by requiring use of room key cards to access elevators. The rooms are pretty sound proof because this was a well-built building. Breakfast was very good with eggs, potatoes, cheeses, meats, breads, yoghurts, pastries, fruit, coffee machines. This hotel is well situated in downtown part of Madrid right on Grand Via, with a subway stop located right at the hotel. I highly recommend this hotel. I loved it.
