Oriente Palace Apartments

Beautifully equipped charming apartment directly across from Royal Palace and around corner from Opera House - walkable area to all parts - lovely places to eat tapas as well!

There is absolutely no doubt that the Oriente Palace Apartments are really well located for getting around Madrid. The Palace is right in front of you, the Metro just around the corner, shopping streets very nearby and there is easy access to the Mercado de San Miguel (an eating and drinking experience not to be missed). The apartments are very attractive and elegantly furnished. Rooms are big but the old varnished wooden floors are squeaky. The shower room and toilet are adequate, good supply of hot water. Wifi worked very well. On the downside, bath towels could have been bigger, we only had one mirror and that was above the wash hand basin and there is excessive noise outside during the night. Bins and beer barrels get serviced during the night with clattering and beeping from reversing vehicles creating a less than appreciated noise. On the final night of our four night stay we also had noisy neighbours between 1.00am and 2.00am playing loud music and probably watching a film at high levels of sound. The soundproofing in the building is not good. It’s a shame that there are negatives associated with this accommodation. We were extremely well checked in by William but I think we might look elsewhere when we return to Madrid again.

I spent two nights here with my sister. The value of the property and what you get is hard to beat. The room was HUGE, very clean & comfortable. The building is historic and directly across from the Palace and many parks. Everything I wanted to do was walking distance. The staff was so friendly & helpful. Many cute cafes to dine at nearby as well. I would recommend it highly & stay here in the future.

What an beautiful experience. Nehailia at the reception desk was just the best. She spoke perfect English, extremely helpful, had the best recommendations and an absolute bundle of energy. You can’t absolutely ask for a better location. Most hotels and suggestions are the stay in Gran Via. But this hotel is located in the gardens of the Palace grounds. Literally 2 minutes from the Palace gates, 5 minutes walk to the Mercado and 10 minute walk to Gran Via, Plaza Mayor and Puerta Del Sol. The ONLY suggestion would be to add a full length mirror in the rooms. The rooms are huge for European hotels.

Mikyla was wonderful! Very hospitable and polite. Madrid was wonderful.
