When we booked this hotel there were limited reviews, so we were a bit nervous. We picked the hotel largely because of the location and price. Because of the limited reviews, we were a bit skeptical. But OMG.. We were blown away. Our room on the 6th floor had a terrace with a retractable awning overlooking the beautiful city. And a ceiling fan in the room for the hot summer days. Breakfast was perfect, service was amazing and the location couldn't have been better. I'm not sure why this hotel ever received a bad rap. It was the best out of all the hotels we stayed during our 16 day Euro trip. We'll definitely stay there again and recommend it for couples traveling through Madrid.

It’s a nice little hotel between Plaza Sol, Opera, and Plaza Mayor. Very good location. There is neither a pool nor even a small gym which was a disappointment to my son. The room was good except for the weird glass bathroom door. It’s frosted in the middle but who wants to see the legs of someone sitting on the toilet or dropping your drawers to get in the shower? The view out our room was another room’s bathroom and a jumble of rooftop vents and access panels. Not a nice view. Make sure you get a room facing Calle Arenal or something.

This was our first time in Madrid, and the Hotel Francisco was an excellent place to spend it. We were there for two weeks, and everything about the hotel was wonderful. Overall, the entire place has a modern, clean look. There is a small lobby with an adjacent lounge with a bar and snacks. The room was nice and the bed comfortable. The staff was extremely nice and helpful. One night my wife went down to the lounge after closing to ask if she could get some tea, and the bartender (Mai) set her up with a tray with a small electric kettle, pot, mug, and tea bags to take to the room.

Wonderful boutique hotel!!

I loved this hotel and so did my Mom! The rooms were big for a European hotel. Everything was clean and they had nice products. My room had a great view of the street below but wasn’t too noisy. She had an interior room which was quiet and she really liked her bed. It wasn’t too hard or too soft. AC worked well and so did the WiFi. Would stay there in again! Staff was friendly too and helped us with a cab to the airport, the driver came into the lobby and took all our bags, and used Waze to get us to the airport really fast!
