I wish I could give this hotel & their staff more than 5 stars. This was my first ever trip to Spain & I will never, ever be able to extend my joy & appreciation in my experience in this review, but I will try my best. The hotel is surrounded by a mixture of old & new buildings lending to rich history & progressive futures. The entrance is surrounded by beautiful greenery, clean windows & walkways. Upon entering, you are greeted with welcoming faces & greetings, in both Spanish & English. The desk agents are prompt in getting you sorted out, collecting bags & getting you set up. My husband, daughter & I had been able to purchase The Level Experience, which I will say is worth the money, tenfold. Your bags are taken care of, while you are brought to a separate reception desk, again greeted in both Spanish & English, offered something to drink before settling in to finalize some details about our room. Our wonderful hostess then showed us around The Level Experience area, showing us how to use the coffee machine, going through the food items, beverages & the times everything is set up for guests. She went over where our rooms were & gave us keys after walking us to the elevators(lift). Once we got to our room, the experience continued with crisp, tidy beds, bright airy rooms that overlooked the city, spacious bathroom with amazing toiletries to use. A few moments later, the doorman brought up our bags, big smiles & warm greetings, asking if he could get us anything while he was there. We had thanked him for his offer & his service, to which he wished us a wonderful stay & headed on his way. Then, a few moments later, another staff member arrived with fresh bottled water with glasses for us, as well wishing us a wonderful stay. Throughout the whole stay, each staff member treated us so kindly & welcoming. Any time we had questions or needed to know how to get somewhere, the hostess at the desks showed us on maps or cleared confusion for us, no matter what it was they were doing, they made it a priority to make sure you knew the answer to what you were looking for. At first I thought that maybe it was just the hotel, but when we went to explore the city, we found that it is simply how the Spanish people are. I have never in my life, been somewhere that the entire population is this way. From our taxi drivers, to store employees, information desks, wait staff in restaurants, even the pharmacy (chemist) clerk were friendly & kind to us when we had questions. The Level Experience in the hotel, is one of a kind. I have never experienced such a beautiful display of hosting. The food was fresh, the drinks cold & everything was always stocked up. We got to experience flavours & foods we've never had, but also got to have familiar favourites but the taste was unmatched. Our experience in the hotel restaurant was our favourite. Jesus is one of a kind. He is fantastic at his job, but also the kindest individual I have come across in a very long time in this industry. While jobs can grind away at people's integrity, it definitely isn't that way for him. There is standard held high for anything he did. Every table was looked after, the wait staff supported, restaurant goers spoken with. Always a smile on his face, worked quickly but never rushed. You never felt like he was hoping to get away from you to do other things. Our food there was stunning. Absolutely, stunning. The presentation clean but modern, the food cooked perfectly every single time, the chefs let the natural flavour of the food speak for itself on that plate. And the consistency?! Perfection. I ordered the same meal twice & it was the exact same flavour each time. You certainly have created a standard that should be set for any hotel around the world & should be incredibly proud of your staff for representing themselves, the hotel & Madrid they way they have. Thank you, to each & every single staff member at the hotel for an experience that my family & I will be talking about for the rest of our lives. We can't wait to return to your beautiful city & hotel.

We checked in early before our room was ready, and they kindly held our bags for us so we could go eat. When we got to our room, it was nicely appointed, with a good view. We noticed a smell from the bathroom that persisted throughout our stay. After using the shower, we speculated that the smell is from the lack of drainage for the water in the bathroom. Whenever we showered, despite our best efforts, water would get all over the floor and pool behind the toilet. Otherwise, the beds were comfortable and they gave several pillows to choose from. Our first night, we asked the front desk for recommendations and Daniel kindly offered several for us. He was very polite and funny - he made us feel welcome. His recommendations were great as well! When we came back to our room the first night, we were surprised with a bottle of champagne and chocolate covered strawberries. We had noted it was our honeymoon on our reservation and it was very appreciated that they went above and beyond for us. The breakfast had a lot of nice options, including eggs made to order how you want them. The prepared hot food could be better kept warm however. They have heat lamps on the dishes but they’re never actually hot, just warm. Overall, the service is wonderful. Everyone we came into contact with was friendly and helpful. Our needs were always met. There are certain things lacking, like the smell from the bathroom and the fact that they charge you for a swimming cap (despite giving you a coupon for one free use of the pool area). This seems very cheap for what’s supposed to be a high end hotel. It seems like some things could be updated despite the hotel presenting as upscale. Our bathroom had a speaker dial connected to the tv that was coming off the wall. When I went to grab a tissue. The whole box on the wall came with it. The shower in the women’s changing room by the pool did not drain well. I was standing in a puddle of water while taking a shower. The gym has the basics - nothing fancy but we were able to exercise with the equipment that was provided. We were surprised to see a Smith machine in there. The location can’t be beat. We were able to take the metro everywhere which was steps outside of the hotel. It was easy to get to retiro park, plaza mayor and other areas off the metro. That being said, I think we were close to a hospital because you could hear ambulances often. It was too loud to keep our windows open much.

Exceptional Stay at Meliá Princesa Our stay at Meliá Princesa in Madrid was truly exceptional, deserving every one of its five stars. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by the attentive and welcoming staff who went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and satisfaction throughout our stay. Their excellent customer service made us feel valued and cared for, setting the tone for an unforgettable experience. The hotel's luxurious ambiance and elegant decor added to the overall sense of indulgence. Our room was spacious, beautifully appointed, and provided all the modern amenities we could ask for. The plush bedding and immaculate cleanliness ensured a restful and relaxing environment. One of the highlights of our stay was the wonderful breakfast buffet, offering a wide variety of delicious options to suit every palate. The attentive staff in the dining area were always on hand to assist and ensure a delightful start to our day. The location of Meliá Princesa is ideal for exploring Madrid, with many of the city's top attractions within easy reach. The concierge service was incredibly helpful, providing us with insightful recommendations and assistance in planning our itinerary. In every interaction, the staff's commitment to excellence was evident, making our stay at Meliá Princesa truly special. We highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Madrid and look forward to returning on our next trip to this vibrant city.

Great room, very comfortable bed, loved the decor and excellent location. However, had issues with the wi-fi, the connection is abysmal, I called 3 times for assistance only once they sent someone (the second time when I went personally to reception), after that, the connection speed was even worse, from 4Mbs to less than 2Mbps (yes, you read right, see screenshots). Couldn’t even browse social media without the connection breaking let alone watch anything on Netflix. The third time I called the operator was rude, after explaining the situation and mentioning that I needed to do some online remote work and would like some help, didn’t even acknowledge the concern or apologised for not sending someone or not fixing the issue, just bluntly say “I’ll send someone”. No-one turned up that night since I called at 8pm. Gave up and use my mobile data which for comparison had 16Mbps. Hope the wifi is fixed or upgraded because never had such bad service in any other hotel. I was ready to give 2 stars after this incident and a rude male member in the restaurant (I arrived for breakfast, I said “good morning” he replied without looking up from the list, never made eye contact and stood silent until I gave my room number) but giving 3 stars after checking out 4 days later and having amazing customer service from other staff.

Far from a 5 star hotel! Meliá Princesa Madrid is a hotel that claims 5-star status but fails to deliver on almost every front. The decor and furniture are visibly damaged and outdated, and the room design seems to lack any consideration for guest comfort. Lighting resembles that of a low-grade hospital—cold and uninviting. Noise from connecting rooms is constant and disruptive, and the bathrooms are poorly designed to the point of inconvenience; one must sit sideways on the toilet due to the odd placement of a sliding glass door. Despite upgrading to the hotel’s “best room” for a five-day stay, I found myself repeatedly disappointed. The WiFi barely worked, and the hotel even charges 4 euros for a tiny bottle of water, a clear sign of misplaced priorities in a supposedly luxury establishment. The only highlights were Daniel at the front desk and Jose and Antonio at the bell desk, who showed true professionalism. However, their kindness can’t redeem the hotel’s fundamental issues. I wouldn’t recommend Meliá Princesa Madrid to anyone—certainly not at this price, or even for free. Look elsewhere for a genuine luxury experience.

This is NOT a 5 star hotel. More like a 3 star for lobby and 1.5 star for the rooms, pool and gym. All I do is stay in 5 Star hotels and this place is junk. The room is super old. The shower is terrible. Functions like a shower from the 50’s. The facility pictures are a scam. The pool is in the basement. Super small and makes you feel trapped. And on top of all that you need to call to make an appointment to use it!! You can’t even pay me to use it. The gym is worse than a prison gym. Super small in the basement. Hot and humid. No windows. It’s a death chamber. I can’t believe they think this is a 5 star. They don’t even deserve a 3 star. Oh yeah and the internet is 1MB download and upload useless. Can hardly check email let alone have business zoom calls. PLUS the hallways and rooms smell like MOLD! This hotel is a SCAM and should be ashamed of themselves! UPDATE: They called trying to upgrade me to another room that was just as bad but bigger. Mold scent everywhere. My throat hurts. My clothes smell like mold. I haven’t slept. Completely trash!
