This is a great hotel. Location is wonderful. We were very pleased with our stay and breakfast. I only have a suggestion: Please prepare the sofa bed before guests enter the room. Making a sofa bed is not convenient, especially after a long overseas trip.

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
