Hotels with Bars in Madrid

The location is very convenient—it’s only about a 15–20 minute walk from Atocha Station. I even walked back to the hostel alone at 2:30 a.m. and felt safe the entire way. The staff were incredibly friendly. One of the nicest surprises was the free welcome drink, which I could enjoy at the hostel’s restaurant. Breakfast was also included in my booking, and it was a generous buffet with plenty of options to choose from. A big thank you to the entire team for your kindness, for keeping everything so clean, and for creating such a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

This hotel boasts a great location, just a stone's throw from the Royal Palace. There's also a fantastic Thai restaurant right downstairs. However, if you're driving, be warned: the parking lot is behind the hotel. Checking in first and then trying to park means a 1.5 km detour and a 15-minute traffic jam, which was a terrible experience. But that's not the hotel's fault; Madrid's traffic is just awful.

I booked a family room, and the sofa bed was a large and spacious double. The only issue was that room 305 had a TV with a poor signal, causing a pixelated screen. If you're looking to watch the World Cup or any other game, definitely avoid this room. Secondly, the air conditioner had a loud hum, which seemed to be a compressor issue. However, a good workaround was to turn down the fan speed, and it quieted down considerably. Other than that, there were no other major problems. The staff's response time was very quick, including fixing the AC (even though they just removed and cleaned the filter, their attitude was excellent, and they responded promptly). The day before leaving, I asked a male front desk staff member to help me book a taxi to the airport, and I was very grateful for his help with my luggage and seeing me off. Their English was also excellent (perhaps due to many English-speaking guests), so there were no communication problems whatsoever. The only downside was that when I booked, I saw comments saying Madrid isn't that big and you can take a taxi anywhere, which led me to book this hotel. In reality, a more central location would be more convenient for getting around. Even though the hotel is near Retiro Park, it's a 6-minute walk to the metro station, and there are buses nearby, but getting to the city center still takes over half an hour, and a taxi to El Corte Inglés takes 28 minutes... (considering it was 40-degree weather, you really don't want to walk that long). However, the fact that there were often taxis waiting right outside the hotel made up for this quite well. All in all, it was decent, but if you can choose a hotel in a more central, well-located area, go for that. If you want a quiet location with considerate, warm, and friendly staff, then choose this hotel. The room's mini-bar came with many complimentary drinks. There's a Carrefour just a 4-minute walk away, and many Chinese restaurants catering to Spanish people nearby, but Uber Eats can deliver better food from the city center in about an hour. They close late, around 11-12 PM in the summer, which is nice.

The best in the area! Clean, organized, and the staff are incredibly welcoming! Plus, the location is perfect! I recommend it in every possible way!

I stayed for 2 days, and on the second day, there was no water provided in the room. The location is good; there's a supermarket within a 5-minute walk, which is very convenient. Retiro Park is within walking distance, and a taxi to the train station costs about 10 euros.

I stayed at this hotel for three consecutive nights. The room was very spacious and comfortable, and there was a supermarket conveniently located right outside. A particular highlight was their underground parking garage: the entry and exit points were very wide, allowing even large vehicles to maneuver in and out smoothly, and the parking spaces themselves were very generously sized. The only minor downsides were that the hotel facilities felt a bit dated, and the shower water pressure was quite low. However, the breakfast was excellent, offering a wide variety of choices. Overall, everything else was great – it was clean and the service was good.

Conveniently located near Chamartín Station with easy access to transport. The breakfast selection is extensive, but it can get crowded, so expect to queue. While the hotel is a bit older, it's clean, and the rooms are spacious.

What a cocky place. It’s a hostel, but there’s no kitchen. Since they have a restaurant, I guess the expectation is that guests eat there. They charge €5 for early check-in, even if you arrive just one hour early. They also charge for luggage storage, with the price depending on the size of your luggage. As of 21 August, there’s construction directly opposite the hostel, on the train station side. They start early, so be prepared to wake up to construction noise. But the biggest issue for me was how unnecessarily inefficient the check-in process is. They send you a link to complete check-in, but even though your reservation is already fully paid, they still collect your credit card details. Huh? I’ve never encountered this at a hostel. One of the reasons I book through booking platforms is precisely so I don’t have to hand over my card details to every individual property. Apparently, this hostel believes it can protect my data better than the big booking platforms. 🤷♀️ And then: I arrived one hour early and completed the check-in process at the front desk. I went out for lunch ( because they asked me to pay 5 eur for early check-in), and when I came back, there was a queue for check-in again. Completely ridiculous and unnecessarily inefficient. To be fair, it’s a fancy-looking hostel in a convenient location, very close to the train station, with plenty of nice restaurants around. But for me, the whole experience felt unnecessarily money-focused and inefficient. Fancy doesn’t automatically mean good hospitality.

Everything is perfect except the hotel location which is a little far from the nearest metro station and of course, away from the main shopping district and attractions. However, the comfort of the room more than made up for it. The shower head pressure was strong, the sheets were clean and crisp, and the a/c and heater worked fine. The housekeeping service was pretty stellar as well, and we even got a can of olive oil as a welcome gift as well as a bagel as part of the Three Kings’ celebration. If you are looking at doing your laundry, note that the nearest laundromat is abt a 7mins walk away (300m). Bring your bedroom slippers too as the hotel doesn’t provide any. Overall, we had a great stay at Hard Rock Madrid and will recommend all who are looking for a lux stay at a reasonable cost.

The environment here is actually pretty average, and it's not that comfortable to stay in. If there are better hotel options, I'd recommend going for those. For Madrid, I think if you have better choices, you should definitely pick them!
