Leonardo Hotels in Madrid

Located in a middle-class residential area, the surroundings are quite peaceful, yet the hotel boasts excellent transportation links. The subway is just a five-minute walk away, and there's a bus stop right outside the hotel. You can even walk to the palace or take a bus from the hotel entrance. There are several supermarkets conveniently located just a right turn from the hotel entrance. Every staff member at the hotel is incredibly warm and helpful. There was a previous review mentioning an elderly person in their seventies being asked to pay extra and then being kicked out; that's simply a Chinese elder trying to take advantage and then twisting the facts when it didn't work out. It's completely untrue and shouldn't be believed. It's truly irresponsible that Trip.com would publish such a review along with photos showing people's faces.

Madrid's main attractions are quite concentrated. The hotel is within a couple of blocks of a metro station, so getting around isn't an issue. If you're a group of three, a taxi might be more cost-effective. The hotel is more on the budget-friendly and quick-stay side. The elevator is old, narrow, and tends to stutter, often pausing before coming to a complete stop. I hope the hotel can upgrade and improve this soon 😅. There are plenty of supermarkets and restaurants near the hotel. Madrid is a city that never sleeps; even at midnight, the streets are bustling with people. Although Madrid isn't as affluent as Barcelona, its main sights are grander, especially the museums, which are a must-see – they even have a replica of the Mona Lisa 😍. If you're planning a trip to Toledo, make sure to book your round-trip tickets in advance, as going last-minute might lead to transportation problems and disrupt your itinerary.

The room was a bit old, and the hallway was narrow, on par with an economy hotel back home. The hot water in the bathroom was quick, but the sink was small and dated. You need to hang a sign outside your door for housekeeping, otherwise, they won't clean your room by default. Slippers are not provided. The surrounding streets are quite quiet, and it's very close to Bernabéu, with a supermarket just a 3-minute walk away, which is very convenient. The metro is a bit of a walk, about ten minutes or so.
