Hotel Catalonia Las Cortes

Wonderful hotel in the heart of the city. I liked everything about this hotel. The location cannot be beaten, it’s a 15 minute stroll from Plaza Mayor and you pass many great restaurants on the way. There are great restaurants within 5 minutes walk of the hotel! It is an easy stroll to Del Prado museum and to the metro if you want to go further afield. The rooms are spacious and quiet, well maintained and the bathroom was equally good with a large walk-in shower All of the staff are friendly and courteous and breakfast is very good. All in all a fabulous stay. Highly recommended.

Excellent hotel with a boutique feel with the city centre at your doorstep. The friendly staff and calm atmosphere is a perfect combination and exactly what you need after a day of walking the busy streets of Madrid. Breakfast is good with a wide variety of options and the trademark friendly and attentive service. Would definitely stay here again!

Enjoyed 3 nights at this hotel and it was perfect. The bedroom was stunning, quiet and comfortable, the public areas decorated to a high standard, bringing out the Beaty and history of the building. The staff were incredibly attentive and the hotel has wonderful touches such as free sandwiches, cake and fruit in the afternoon. The location is perfect for seeing the best of Madrid and only a short walk to The Prado and some fabulous bars and restaurants.

Location is excellent with accessibility to all the things within walking distance and close to train station. Room was right temperature, comfortable, bed had a variety of pillows choices, bath, windows that opened for fresh air, little balcony. Room serviced every day plus turn down service. The absolute big ticket item is the breakfast buffet. Nothing was too much trouble with coffee, salad, hot food, fresh fruits, variety of milks, breads, yogurts - value for money. I would recommend this hotel.

We had two stays here recently and found this hotel very good. Both rooms were lovely - very clean and everything of excellent quality. The staff are very helpful and friendly and we especially thank Alejandra and Ismael. We would be happy to stay here again.

Great hotel! Starting from the location, this hotel is in the centre of Madrid, but hidden a bit in a narrow and not crowded street. Everything is super easy to reach. The hotel itself is very well maintained, clean, and comfortable. We were offered a free upgrade to the junior suite and it was amazing. Specious and comfortable room, sound proofed, and with the widest bed I've ever seen 😊 my wife had a birthday during our stay and they brought a complimentary cake for her. Catalonia hotels definitely know how to provide service and make your stay unforgettable. Will visit again!

We chose this hotel for it's convenient location walking distance to museums and old city centre and transport links. The hotel in an 18th century palace retains some antique features and is elegantly decorated. We found the room very comfortable and especially liked the big white fluffy bath towels and having lots of space on the counter in the bathroom. Breakfast buffet was very high standard. Staff friendly, thank you for the paper map. Enjoyed afternoon snacks too. We had a lovely trip to Madrid and the delightful hotel was a big part of why we enjoyed Madrid. Thank you.

The hotel is great - right in the heart of Madrid. Everything is walking distance from there so you can go and explore the city by foot most of the time. The room was very cosy, the staff was polite and friendly. Overall, staying at this hotel for our 5-day trip was a very pleasant experience. I highly recommend it.

The Catalonia Las Cortes is literally in a perfect location in the historic part of Madrid. There are excellent restaurants, a variety of shops, local sites, and access to taxis. We came from the airport and when we drove up, a very nice and welcoming gentleman came out and took our bags through this large glass sliding door inside to the front desk. Our check in was easy and, no exaggeration, every staff member during out stay greeted us with a warm hello and were so professional. If you are planning on taking a train anywhere, need restaurant advice, where to go and what to see, or friendly banter, the front desk is ready to assist you. They went above and beyond helping us and making sure our stay was perfect. I love the fact that the staff worked as a team and were cross trained. Remember to join the Catalonia Rewards because not only will you get a much better rate than any discount site, you receive free drinks and percentages off of food and beverages you order at the hotel. They do have free snacks and beverages during certain times of the day and there is breakfast available. We didn't eat breakfast there since we already had planned a breakfast elsewhere. It was popular, so it must have been good. As you leave for your room, there is a parlor/bar area where you can take a break and get all sorts of drinks. For your free drink, you have a choice of Cava (the favorite of the Spanish sparkling wine), a beer, or soda. The bar was well stocked, and you could order food. The bartender was charming and had great advice on where to go and knowledge of the area. He and his wife were taking turns running the bar. They did an excellent job. Everything was clean and they were quick to take care of you. Finally we are up to the room. We had reserved a king with a balcony window. That doesn't mean you will be sitting out there. This is originally a building in the historic district and they kept the feel of being in the historic district with up to date ammenities. Our huge bathroom had both a shower and a tub. The beds were comfortable, the view was of the side street which meant it was quieter. Really loved the feel of the room. There is an elevator. This lovely hotel is an absolute must as it is in a safe location, so close to everything, and you couldn't have asked for better hotel staff. They are genuine and professional.

Nice little hotel in the middle of Madrid next to all the famous museums. It is located in an old town house and looks like not much from the outside. Inside on the other hand it is extremely nicely renovated. Stairs in wood, very high ceilings. Rooms also very nicely renovated, beds are great and staff very helpful and friendly. Breakfast is very rich but also expensive - so only take it if you really want to profit from it.

I stayed at this hotel for four nights and our stay was near perfect. We had a huge room with a very large bed, lots of space to move around, a very good desk and additional chairs, a well-appointed bathroom and huge walk-in shower. It is located just a few blocks from the Prado and two blocks from Plaza Santa Ana, with lots of restaurants. They also have free snacks and coffee from 2 to 8 pm. Most were very good, although the soup was not good tasting. I would definitely stay here again.

Best boutique hotel near the prado & center of Madrid!! Service is top notch-ask for Nacho to help make plans & reservations!!

Absolutely loved staying at this hotel! A historic, well maintained property. Upscale and perfectly located! Walking distance to plenty of fun places! My favorite, Plaza Santa Anna is just a few steps away. Not cheap, but what is at this perfect location! It's comfortable and convenient! We will definitely return!

My wife and I are just finishing a six night stay at the Catalonia las Cortes. I highly recommend it. It has a great location within easy walking distance of the three great museums- The Prado, the Thyssen, and the Reina Sofia. It is also close to the Plaza Mayor. The neighborhood is loaded with tapas restaurants, bars, and regular restaurants. One word of caution however there are pickpockets on the streets (one opened my backpack but got nothing) so be careful. The staff have been extremely helpful and friendly and speak English well. There is an excellent breakfast buffet (although 20 € per person is spendy) but no other restaurant in the hotel but as I mentioned earlier there are plenty nearby. Our room was luxurious, spacious, comfortable, and quiet with easy chairs and a couch. A nice hotel to come back to makes a huge difference in your stay, particularly in another country. This has been one of our nicest hotel stays in a long time. I would definitely return.

Amazing hotel- quite clean with large rooms (at least ours was) and it was in an awesome location. We were in walking distance of many places including restaurants and the Puerta del Sol. The staff is friendly and helpful when you have questions about the hotel or area. They also have snacks and beverages (non-alcoholic) every day for free between about 1pm and midnight. They offer a breakfast buffet that's 16€, but we didn't try it so I can't speak to how good it is, but it was a very enjoyable stay and we'd definitely go back!

Amazing value for money in a fabulous location in Madrid. The room and bathroom were spacious, clean, and comfortable, the service was friendly, and did I mention the great location? I booked a room at the Hotel Catalonia las Cortes after seeing good reviews on Trip Advisor. I prepaid about 240 euros for three nights, which was low relative to other hotels I priced in the same area of Madrid. My room was ready on my arrival, and I was pleased to discover a large (for Europe) room with king bed and attractive linens. The room was air conditioned (very important in blazing Madrid) and had a safe, television, and minibar. The bathroom was also very large and featured a bidet, full tub/shower, and sink with plentiful counter space. The room was nicely made up each day, and there was evening turn-down service that included a lovely chocolate truffle on the nightstand. For light sleepers, know that the room was absolutely quiet inside (did not have a window overlooking the street) and had blackout curtains to keep light out. Breakfast is served every morning in the lobby dining room and costs 12 euros per person. The breakfast is buffet style and was pretty good; I liked that it featured a lot of typical Spanish foods, like sausages and tortillas espanolas. However, I only ate there one morning as I felt there was better value eating breakfast elsewhere. There is also a lobby bar, apparently specializing in gins and tonic, but I did not drink there during my stay. There were rarely more than a handful of people there. WiFi is free in the hotel with a password provided on check-in. Staff was very pleasant. When you pass the main desk to enter or exit the hotel, staff call out greetings (if you're not sure how to respond, just say "hola"). Although everyone seemed more comfortable using Spanish, the staff was fully bilingual and were using English with patrons as needed. Finally, what makes the Hotel Catalonia las Cortes truly fantastic is its location. I found it to be easy walking distance to many of my favorite parts of Madrid. It's about two blocks off the Plaza Santa Ana, which is a great place to sit outdoors and have tapas and drinks. It's walkable to all three major art museums, the Plaza Mayor, and it's also near a Metro station (Anton Martin). The only location drawback is that it takes two Metro exchanges to get between the hotel and the airport. I highly recommend the Hotel Catalonia las Cortes. When I return to Madrid, it will the first place I check for availability.

This is a really nice hotel. It is easy to miss even when staring at it from the street. Our cab driver even missed it but we were lucky enough to see the the sign. Service at the front desk was great, and English is available if your Spanish is non existent. Close to the plaza and many of the central sites in Madrid like the museso del Prato

What a rip! We paid through the nose for a room (the Imperial Suite) only to find no (ok, very little) air conditioning, poor sink drainage, safe with low battery, no Kleenex and family travelers all over the free food area. Booking.com shows a photo of a large older bldg and some gorgeous shots of the interior. I'm not sure what building they used for the exterior, but I posted a photo on Yelp of what the exterior entrance really looks like. This was clearly a bait and switch. Our taxi driver couldn't even find it! It looks to have been a very lovely place at one time that was recently rehabbed in a more modern Euro fashion. Schizophrenic decor. What staff they had was very nice, it is in a good location (but on an unknown side street). Just know what you are getting. For what we spent, I wish I had booked at the Westin nearby. They had A/C!!! When I complained about the A/C, the clerk told me I didn't do so soon enough (it was a weekend) and when I mentioned my dissatisfaction at checkout, they repeated the same accusation. No attempt at Service Recovery. I guess building maintenance is the guest's responsibility. I suppose it's too much too expect the housekeeping staff to report the abnormally high room temperature! PS The 12 euro breakfast referred to by another review is now 19 euro.

I absolutely love this hotel. We were treated very well, and any questions we asked were answered and then some. The staff wanted to help and always greeted us with a smile. The location is central, right by the markets, shopping, all the beautiful architecture of Madrid, and within walking distance to the train station and good food. The hotel is absolutely gorgeous, clean, and has that European style I love. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone traveling to Madrid. Me encanta este hotel. Nos trataron muy bien, y todas nuestras preguntas fueron respondidos. Los empleadores nos ayudaron en todo y siempre nos saludaron con sonrisa. La ubicación está central, cerca de los mercados, compras, la arquitectura bella de Madrid, y se puede caminar a comida buena y la estación de atocha. Este hotel es muy bonito, limpio, y con estilo Europeo que me encanta. Recomiendo este hotel a cualquier persona viajando a Madrid.

The hotel is located in a great location right in "Old Madrid." The streets are smaller, which adds a nice charm. The area is in a safe location. There are many people walking around the streets late at night. Plaza de Santa Ana is less than a block away, where you will find lots of restaurants and many people gathering throughout the day. The hotel is a 10-15 minute walk in either direction to Plaza de Mayor or Plaza de Neptuno (Starbucks, Prado Museum). My family stayed in a Superior Room. The staff placed a removable bed in the room, and there was still plenty of space to navigate around the room. The service at the front desk was very good. They were friendly and very helpful with food recommendations, answering questions/concerns we had, and reserving a taxi for us. The bathroom was nice and clean, but they do not give you shampoo or conditioner, only bath gel. I really liked the turn down service they had at night. It was relaxing coming back to the room to see the beds already prepared. The breakfast buffet was 19 euro per person, so we did not try it out. There are many cafes and food options within walking distance, so save your money and go there. The floors in the bedroom were a bit dirty, but nothing too serious to complain about. My biggest problem was the WIFI. It is free, but I could only connect to the network less than half the time I stayed there. I informed the front desk and they told me they would reset their router, but I still had difficulty connecting most of the time. They do not have any electrical adapters for outlets if you are traveling from the US, so bring one with you. *Pros* - Good location (Close to everything) - Nice house keeping - Friendly and informative front desk - Clean bathrooms - Turn down service included - Many food options in the area *Cons* - No shampoo or conditioner - WIFI is not reliable - No electrical adapter for outlets provided

Loved this hotel! Stayed here on the last leg of a two week stint in Portugal and Spain. The room is big (by European standards) and extremely clean. The interior of the hotel is beautiful - being an old historic townhouse it really has a lot of character and charm. The complimentary beverages and snacks between 2pm and midnight are truly life altering. The staff is nice, friendly, and helpful. Finally, the location is great - a short walk from almost everything you'd want to see or do in the city. This was my second time in Madrid and I know I'll be back again and will definitely be staying here again.
