One Shot Prado was a little disappointing, the The online photos seem to embelish the hotel, our room was a little dated. It is very well situated in Madrid a very short distance to the museums and other sites. The staff also was very friendly and helpful.

The condition of the first Executive Room was unacceptable—the floors were filthy and the pipes backflowed with a disgusting stench. Even after being moved, we were left without hot water all night. I reached out to the management for a refund or compensation, but they have ignored me for three days. Absolutely terrible service and a complete nightmare.

We stayed here for 4 nights and really enjoyed the convenient location—close to the Prado Museum, Gran Via, and Atocha Station. As first-time visitors to Madrid, we found the city incredibly walkable, and the hotel’s position on a quiet street made it even better. Our room didn’t face the road, so we had absolutely no street noise and slept very comfortably. The staff was warm and welcoming throu...

Excellent location central to all the major museums, galleries, the fabulous park El Retiro and super tapas bars and restaurants. The room we had was spacious with a terrace overlooking the road but we didn't find it too noisy at all. We liked the style and friendliness of the hotel. The staff were very helpful.

Great, convenient location. The staff was super helpful and polite. Room was clean, though as others have said, it looks a little banged up. The rooms could really use a fresh coat of paint and some refreshing, but everything was functional and clean. The only real drawbacks were the lighting in the shower/toilet area which really isn't sufficient when you want to see what you're doing, and the TV...
