**Disappointing Stay – Definitely Not Worth the Price**
We booked a "superior 2 bed room" at Memmo Príncipe Real, which was advertised as having two bedrooms and two bathrooms. One of the rooms had a direct view of the parking area, with cars constantly turning around beneath the window — incredibly noisy and unpleasant. The other room faced... a wall. Not much better.
The bathrooms were small, poorly designed, and impractical to use. The only spacious part of the room was the oddly long hallway between the two bedrooms — hardly a redeeming feature. At €750 per night, this setup was absolutely not worth the price and should be avoided altogether.
The experience throughout the hotel was consistently disappointing. Staff seemed indifferent at best, no one cracked a smile the entire time. Breakfast supposedly opens at 7:30, but nothing was ready at that time. To make matters worse, the staff vacuumed around our feet while we were eating. Truly unbelievable.
The hotel also gives you restaurant vouchers — but they are barely worth using. The options are either a starter, a dessert, or a drink and the staff makes you feel awkward for even using them. We dined there on our first night: the restaurant was empty (understandably so), and the food was forgettable. The bacon on the burger was burned to a crisp, all black. When we used our voucher for a dessert, we were questioned about whether we had already used one for a starter — as if we were trying to scam them.
And if that wasn’t enough, after we left, we received an email accusing us of having taken a chocolate bar from the minibar without informing them on the last day — and that they would charge us €12. Of course, we hadn’t touched it. I replied to let them know exactly where the chocolate still was in the room (next to the chips), and only then did they backtrack and admit everything was fine. For a stay that cost over €2300, this kind of petty and accusatory behavior is just absurd.
In short, between the disappointing room, rude staff, unremarkable food, and absurd price, Memmo Príncipe Real was one of the worst hotel experiences we’ve had in this price range.
Absolutely not recommended.
