Posada del León de Oro

Loved my stay here. Perfect location. Room was very modern with beautiful toiletries. I had a room with a balcony which was great. Great to let some air in and when locked it was kind of sound proof. Really nice fresh breakfast. Very friendly helpful staff. I would totally recommend this small boutique hotel to anyone. If I ever return to Madrid I would absolutely stay here again.

The staff were lovely and the rooms were nice and clean, but they are wrapped around a restaurant in a courtyard. I was there for one evening to sleep before an early flight, and people were still talking and cleaning until after midnight so I was exhausted. I asked to get another room but they said they were booked up and to email. On emailing they said I would get no compensation as I should have told someone I wasn’t happy on the night - which I did. A hotel is essentially supposed to provide someone a room they can sleep in, which I could not.

A great find. It is a small boutique hotel with comfortable rooms (excellent bed), delightful and helpful staff (particularly Daniella), contemporary fixtures and very good breakfast and restaurant (try the croquettes). Good value. The neighborhood couldn't be better, with many restaurants and bars, a nearby supermarket, short walk to Plaza Mayor, Plaza del Sol and the La Latina Metro station. Highly recommended.

This was a great little hotel for my four-day stay in Madrid. The location is excellent—the neighborhood is animated, but not noisy, and I was able to walk to all the main sights in less than twenty minutes. My room was super clean and housekeeping did an excellent job. I did not have a lot of interaction with the hotel staff except when I checked in—the young woman who checked me in was very pleasant and took the time to orient me to the neighborhood, marking important destinations on a map of Madrid. This was a lovely hotel with lots of character and history in a great location at a very reasonable price. I’d definitely stay here again!

All in all a perfect spot in the Latin quarter of Madrid. Excellent breakfast and perfect town centre rooms.

Very comfortable property in a good location. Warm, friendly, accommodating staff. A superior breakfast. Stylish but not the least bit pretentious. The radiant floor heating was greatly appreciated during my January visit. Highly recommended.

Really good place to spend a few days in Madrid. The rooms are very clean, with their own heating/cooling system, and comfortable and big beds. I missed a coffee machine, but it is possible to order at the bar from 08.00. Staff members are really nice and helpful. It has a restaurant on the ground floor so it can be a bit noisy until 23.00, but not after that time. It is located in a street full of restaurants, in a very vivid areas of Madrid.

Lovely hotel with excellent staff, well located with great restaurants on the doorstep and an easy walk to most major attractions.|The rooms are well appointed and individual in their decor and the breakfast we had was excellent with a selection of hot and cold choices and great service.|Overall very good and we would certainly stay here again if in Madrid.

This review is for the restaurant. It was my last night in Madrid and a group of friends and I were just wandering around trying to get out of the rain, find Tapas, and also a place that sits 11 people together. We came here and they were immediately very accommodating to our group size. The Tapas are actually quite large and made for sharing. I think we over ordered on a lot as we thought the sizes were smaller. Overall everyone enjoyed their dishes. I can't find their menu so I can list exactly what we ate there.

This review is for their restaurant. We happened upon this place on our second night in Madrid. Our first night we had dinner at a touristy spot in Plaza Mayor. This place was sooooooooo much better. Based off our other dinner, we order three things here, which was wayyy too much food for two people. The meat empanadas were delicious. The dough was flaky and filling was very tender and flavorful. Patatas bravas was a huge portion! Again, very well cooked our only problem was it was too much food! The star of our meal with the meat platter. There was lomo, Jamón and two types of sausage accompanied by a tomato dip and crackers. The meat was high quality and much better than we experienced the evening before. Service here was outstanding. The bartender who was waiting on us was very nice and went out of his way to help. He even got us a takeaway box for the meat that we couldn't finish.

Went here for Christmas dinner. Actually, the Christmas Eve dinner on Christmas night. Nochebuena (Christmas Eve) is a huge deal in Spain and most restaurants are closed, with the exception of higher-end hotel restaurants, such as this one, which typically offer limited pre-fixe menus only, and at a premium. The one thing that stands out in my mind was the raw salmon, perhaps because it may have led to food poisoning. Either way, I can't prove it for sure, so this 4 star rating is based on the following: -Fast and friendly service -Very cool ambiance (your table sits on glass and above a see through "wine cellar") -Willingness to prepare the Nochebuena dinner on Navidad, despite having to make a few substitutes, one of which I think included the raw salmon -Appropriate pacing between each course

This hotel is phenomenal in terms of both affordability, location, cleanliness, comfort and staff friendliness. Friendliness: I arrived here one hour early for check in but the wonderful front desk staff were able to accommodate an early check-in without us even having to ask and no fuss at all. When I asked for an adapter to charge my phone they quickly provided one. When I asked the front desk person to print something out for me she did it with a smile even though I messed sending an attachment twice. She genuinely wanted to help. Looks: The hotel looks great too. From outside it seems a bit rustic, but once you enter you'll immediately see that it's a modern place. And the hotel doesn't overdo it with modern elements. There are still some rustic elements like deep dark wood decor, bronze hues, etc that perfectly soften the ambiance and feel of the hotel. Room: The room we booked was quite large and comfortable. Even though our windows had no views, their height from ceiling to floor, allowed natural light to flood in and make the room feel vibrant, open and homely. The decor inside the room is modern but like throughout the rest of the hotel it's also very comfortable. The wooden beams on the ceiling, though only decorative, give the room a very rustic feel as well. It just shows the amount of attention that was put into the details. The bathroom was just as great as well.

This review is for the pinchos/tapas we tried. All were excellent, and the service was outstanding! We will definitely be back. The hotel rooms look lovely as well. My only concern would be the noise level with so many businesses/restaurants located on this street.

La Latina is the area for Tapas in Madrid, & this place had the best! We got one tapa that was a chicken and the other that was a goat cheese one. Refer to the picture to see it. Both of them were amazing with their sauces on top!

Had a reservation here for Christmas Day night and had a really excellent meal. Some of the nicest servers in Madrid. Really unique and delicious desserts. Cool transparent floor where you can see their wine cellar. Enjoy the quiet dining in the back or the hoppin' busy tables in the front. Very popular spot and I can see why.

Great location, nice atmosphere with great and tasty tapas. Great for tapas hopping! Just remember to tell the bartender what wine you want or they will give you the more expensive one, although it was very tasty and cost only 1 euro more.

Loved every moment at this lovely hotel so close everything! Rooms restaurant food drink staff...all exquisite!

We booked on Hotels Tonight and got a room with a balcony. The room was clean and cute. The staff were accommodating and friendly. They even give you glass of house wine or beer as a "welcome drink." The food both tapas and breakfast were excellent (there were vegetarian tapas). I'm a sound sleeper so I didn't notice if it was loud with out balcony facing the street but I will say it's a busy street and Madrileños stay out past the crack of dawn (if you have to be at the airport early, have them schedule a taxi in advance). We stayed out until 3 am and there were people out but nothing crazy (definitely not like Bourbon St) just people walking by talking. The area is really fun and you'd be wise to try tapas at multiple places up and down Calle Cava Baja.

We stayed here as a special treat for our final honeymoon days in Madrid. The hotel looks average on the outside, but with chic modern/upscale boutique rooms. Ours was spacious with a small balcony overlooking the street. One great thing was that our room was fairly soundproof - despite the restaurant/bar being packed at night, we could barely hear any noise from the 2nd floor. Complaints: no bath towels (had to request) or bath soap/gel (requested twice and never received)... Seems like poor form for an otherwise decent hotel. Restaurant with average food, nice wine selection, moderately priced.

Great hotel with very friendly staff. We had a Perfect room. Their food and wine are great and value for money. Had a great time their this week.
