Stayed two nights. Very helpful staff, room large, great location. No complaints

Had a medical issue that I mentioned to the front desk as we were checking out. Said they could consult an on call doctor. On call person said I should be seen in clinic. They set up an appointment with an ENT and I was seen within an hour. Very impressed. Hotel was totally on top of things.

We had a fantastic family stay at Palacio de los Duques. In advance of our stay we were offered assistance by the concierge via email for anything we may wish to do whilst in Madrid. Upon arrival we were greeted and given a lovely personal check in experience.

The buildings and the grounds are beautiful, the rooftop and it's seasonal pool give a great view over the city and the Royal Palace. It's location is good with most things walking distance, and public transport and the hotel van service for anything further afield.

The bedrooms are spotless and well stocked with water and toiletries.

We ate breakfast daily at the hotel which was great quality with a good continental selection plus a menu to order dishes from.

The staff all go above and beyond to ensure everything is perfect with your stay at the hotel. From the professional greeting the staff give you to the doormen having a laugh with our children, to the guest experience team checking everything is going well with your stay.

We would love to return to this hotel next time we visit Madrid.

Thank you.

Supreme family room was our pick, for the four of us in our family. Though it turned out to be a bit tight, for the amount of time we spent in the room, it was great. Daily turn down service with water bottles and chocolates was a nice touch. Great shower with good quality toiletries. Bed was cozy too. The highlight was the breakfast buffet, which included one made to order option to choose from. Ambience and food clearly is 5 star quality but would like to call out the pleasant staff as well for their service.  Shantal, who waited on us all three days, is so pleasant, welcoming and kind, she made our experience special just by her smile and service. If you are looking for a 5 star stay in Madrid in an area that’s walkable to Gran Via, this is the place to choose.
