Very pleasant stay in that well located hotel

THE place to be in Madrid, especially on the roof top, for the mood, the sunset and, more geneally speaking, for the view! Located close to many "must see" places, this hotel and all the staff know how to make the guests comfortable. Thanks a lot for the time we've spent at the RIU Plaza!

Amazing but….

The hotel has an unbeatable location, the breakfast is outstanding, great service and the rooms are spacious and comfortable. However, during our stay, the air conditioning at rooms were off due to the ‘cold season’, and sleeping with the windows open was both noisy and less comfortable due to the lack of cool air. Guests should have the option to control the AC in their rooms according to their preference.

Muy buena localización con excelente servicio de sus trabajadores. Room nada excepcional. Pasamos mucho calor pues no prenden el aire acondicionado solo en verano según nos comentaron los trabajadores. Apenas podíamos dormir del calor. No se si el hotel es pet friendly por qué en la cama nos encontramos un insecto muy parecido a una garrapata. Enseguida nos limpiaron la habitación y nos pusieron nueva ropa de cama. Lo mejor del hotel el servicio de Sus trabajadores , el roof top bello y la localización. Lo peor las habitaciones y el calor que pasamos para dormir

Great product, poor service

Rooms were nice, buffet breakfast was good and the hotel is well located, but the checkin process was excruciating. We had a multi-room booking and it felt like the reception staff were trying to make it as difficult as possible for us to access our rooms with different members of our group arriving at different times. They spoke to us as if we were making trouble and weren’t to be trusted. We had triple occupancy rooms and they originally said nobody could access rooms until all three people had arrived, which is absurd. They eventually backed down after some arguing and negotiating. However, with the whole process taking over half an hour, this made us late for one of our activities, which we ended up having to cancel. I’d like to be able to recommend this hotel for other reasons but unfortunately won’t be able to until this bureaucratic process is addressed.

Well run, good spot, great rooftop views of Madrid

I was a delight to stay here. A very large hotel but so efficiently run. Nothing is any trouble to the staff and they have you sorted before you even know you need sorting. The roof top bar was an amazing bonus. Madrid before your eyes. Only negative was we couldn’t lower the room temperature no matter what we tried. It may have been a seasonal thing. I would definitely stay again.

Staff was friendly but the hotel condition was outdated. Madrid was very warm but the air conditioning was inoperative, the hair dryer didn’t work and the room was a little dirty. I won’t be going back.
