Los Lanceros

Nice hotel close to the Monastery and the busstation for busses to Madrid. Staff was friendly and helpful. The room was nice and comfortable with a clean bathroom. The breakfast buffet was ok but when it starts at 8:00 it's a bit silly to bring the eggs, sausages and bacon at 8:20. Moreover that should be warm and not cold as I had. The hotel has a parking garage but that is one street further in Pl. Juan de Herrera which is a dead end street. The entrance to the garage is at the end of that street. Parking cost € 15,- per night.

Great hotel for the price, we stayed here for 4 nights and were very pleased with our stay. The room was spacious and comfortable, bathroom has everything that could be needed, even a bidet. Also there was a balcony with a nice view. Staff was very helpful, room service did their job exceptionally well, no complaints whatsoever. The only things that were lacking is the lack of slippers and no option to heat up food brought from grocery stores anywhere in the hotel, but it isn't a dealbreaker. Special thanks to Anna, she gave us a lot of helpful advice and help we didn't know we needed, and in general it was a pleasure to talk to such a great person :)

Pros: A usefully-located hotel. Very good reception service. Basic but adequate rooms which are very good value. Clean. Nice views.|Cons: If you are above the restaurant area, even on an upper floor, you hear all the chairs being moved around up to and a bit past midnight.|The restaurant food at dinner was really bad, but masses of restaurants close by in town.

The walk from the train station was about 15 minutes and it's uphill most of the way. My room was large and clean, but most of all it was super quite and I had a very good night sleep.

if you want to be near the monastery, here you go. not much other than that. severely undercooked my chicken sandwich and almost killed me. Also took hours to get my food and the check so if u pull up at 8 pm be ready to leave at midnight if you want just a simple chicken sandwich. Since I was stuck here for the foreseeable future and it was raining with nowhere else to go, a few nights later I got the expensive steak and paid DEARLY. shame on the cook, who clearly needs to hang up the apron. not sure what I did to deserve your wrath. rooms are okay, but some WAY more spacious than others and its just a gamble if you get a spacious room or not. maids come at inconvenient times and always misplace the pillows I set on the bed on the floor. they also knocked my pills off my side table and crushed one with the bed when they moved it - so thanks for that. the double beds dont separate, they’re connected by a door-hinge. balcony was nice to have, but my room faced the sun so it gets super hot during the day and there is minimal airflow. also try speaking to the front desk in english and they will look at you like you have 2 heads. the mini fridge looks and functions like it was made in 1930. the single elevator is 2x2 so good luck fitting more than 2-3 people in there, or one with luggage. they have one janky iron that doesn’t even get hot, and a useless pant press in every room. there is no ceiling fan or light, just a lamp in the corner and a reading light that will burn a hole in your skull if you fall asleep with it pointed at your head. 1 star is reserved for unlivable bedbug-type situations so this place gets 2.

We had lunch at this place, food came after more than 1 hour, cold, and without an apology. Vegan option: lamb.

The location is great, about 5 minutes by foot to the Monastery of El Escorial. Service is very friendly and willing to help. Rooms are clean, comfortable and quiet. Beds are very comfortable. A good place to spend a couple of nights. Don't expect wonders, but it is a very solid offer for a good price. All interesting areas can be reached within minutes by foot !

First thing we noticed was the bed was dirty, hair all over it. Fridge didn't work. Pillows were very bad, the blanket didn't have a cover just one sheet either side. When we arrived we asked could we get food, reception told us to come down before 7pm and we would get something to eat, we called at 6.40pm and we were told the kitchen closed early so no food for us. Breakfast was ok, eggs and bacon, but was a cheap version of Spam. Booked 4 nights stayed for 1. The place needs a good cleaning. The service overall was very bad and paying 90e per night for this was not worth any of it. Would not recommend.
