Hotel Moderno

“The best hotel for the price and the experience of Madrid?”

For a business meeting, this was one of the recommended hotels, and one that was away from the meetings and at Puerto del Sol.

For a business meeting, this was one of the recommended hotels, and one that was away from the meetings and at Puerto del Sol. I had a ridiculously early arrival (to the hotel at 08:00) yet my room was available! As expected, the room was small but functional (although the desk chair could barely fit between the bed and desk). There was an entry to the SOL metro within a minute walk, La Mallorquina and other famous (for tourists) places surrounding with many restaurants, bars, people. There was a strong sense of security and the desk staff were most helpful and courteous. The breakfast (included in the business package) was extensive in the food offerings. The service staff had the sleeping room spotless and perfect each day. My 5th floor room (not facing C. del Arenal) was quiet and the internet worked well. Would definitely re-book on my next trip to Madrid.

The Hotel Moderno was a fantastic stay for me, my wife and our daughter. The hotel has an intimate boutique like feel, an incredible location, and terrific people working there who love to provide excellent service. The breakfast buffet was a highlight as the selections were plentiful and delicious, and the cost was very reasonable. Lastly, the hotel owner Santiago (Santi) takes an active hands on role in the operations of the hotel and was most helpful to us throughout our stay in Madrid. He even escorted us to a bull fight which turned out to be one of the most interesting things we did while touring in Spain and Portugal. Thank you again Santi!

“Great location but small rooms”

Great location. Short walk to a metro station and Placa del Sol and tons of restaurants. Tiny room. Helpful and friendly front desk staff. Did not hear any street noise from the room despite it being in a busy area. Good price. Would stay there again

“You are paying primarily for location, not for the quality of the hotel”

Due to inability to book my entire stay at either hotel, I had occasion to stay at both Hotel Moderno and Hotel Europa back to back. Extremely close in price, but not close in terms of value. Moderno is well located, though not quite as well located as Europa, which offers one of the best street … more

Due to inability to book my entire stay at either hotel, I had occasion to stay at both Hotel Moderno and Hotel Europa back to back. Extremely close in price, but not close in terms of value. Moderno is well located, though not quite as well located as Europa, which offers one of the best street views in Madrid. For the same price you get a bigger room, a better view, and a nice cafe with indoor and outdoor seating at Europa. The room at Moderno had no view. I did not have the breakfast at Europa, but was not very impressed with what they served at Moderno. I know it's traditional Spanish fair, but bread, cheeses and a variety of cured meats doesn't do it for me, especially on consecutive days. I know it's a minor thing, but Europa has a nicer and larger lobby and just has a better feel to it. I'm giving Moderno 3 stars, not because it's a bad place to stay, it's just a reflection that it underdelivers for the premium price they charge.
