"An Excellent Hotel in Every Way"
This is the hotel we'll always choose whenever we visit Madrid. After staying here, it's hard to imagine booking anywhere else. The location is excellent, making it easy to explore the city, and having a private parking garage is a huge advantage. The rooms are exceptionally spacious, comfortable, and perfect for relaxing after a day of sightseeing. One of the highlights of every stay is the breakfast. The selection is outstanding, with plenty of fresh, high-quality options, and it's something we genuinely look forward to each time we visit. Considering the size of the hotel, we were impressed by how well everything is organised. Despite having so many rooms, the service feels personal. Every member of the staff was friendly, welcoming, efficient, and always happy to help. The rooftop bar is another reason we love staying here. It's a wonderful place to unwind in the evening and adds something really special to the overall experience. Our only small criticism would be the swimming pool, which feels a little too small for a hotel of this size. However, since we didn't come to Madrid to spend time by the pool, it certainly didn't affect our stay. Overall, this is an outstanding hotel that offers comfort, excellent service, and great value. We already know where we'll be staying on our next visit to Madrid.
"Second time but I will not return."
Second time in this huge hotel located in Piazza di Spagna, some rooms really have a view of the city and a respectable rooftop since tourists have to pay 10 euros to access it. However, I will not return. Too chaotic with detached staff; checking the rooftop feels like entering a bank, and you always feel out of place. They interrogate you or you always have to have the key in hand. For breakfast, which I love very much, it feels like being on an assembly line, with hundreds of people at narrow tables pushed together. Rich buffet but of poor quality products, undrinkable coffee for us Italians. Empty minibar, they don't even ask if you want it filled with a paper cover. No courtesy set in the bathrooms, and they didn't even change the towels on the second night. I no longer recommend it.

Does Hotel Riu Plaza España have pools, a beach area, or both?


While we are in the heart of the city, we feature a refreshing outdoor swimming pool. Please note that it is not heated in winter, and there is no beach area.


Yes, absolutely. We know you want to stay connected to share your best rooftop moments, so we provide free WiFi throughout the hotel to ensure you can easily upload photos or plan your next city adventure.

Being located inside the historic Edificio España on Plaza de España means you are steps away from the iconic Royal Palace, Sabatini Gardens, Temple of Debod, and the famous theaters of Gran Vía. You can also easily stroll into the vibrant neighborhoods of Malasaña and Chueca for incredible shopping and nightlife, while world-class museums like the Prado are just a short trip away.


We offer modern accommodations perfectly tailored to our ideal guests, whether you are traveling as a couple, solo (as a single guest), in groups of friends, or as seniors (65+).
