Comfortable room with good double-glazing, and overlooking a quiet side street. Free internet access from two terminals. Excellent location for anyone visiting the Prado and other art galleries. Metro station nearby. Atocha station two stops away. Puerta del Sol within ten minutes' walk. Three minuses 1)breakfast room excellent but only open for breakfast - no facilities for hot drinks after 11am 2)I asked for a non-smoking room but the room had cigarette burns on table and smelt as if it had been recently used by a smoker 3)Lighting in bathroom extremely harsh - only other mirror was on doors of wardrobe.

Stopped over for a night in Madrid at the end of a trip to Seville. Found the Hotel Prado very clean and comfortable, with very friendly staff (although the arrangements for breakfast weren't very clear [there's a choice of different levels, but all there is to tell you what each contains is a crude hand-drawn picture]). I was travelling with a group of friends, so the decision on the hotel was largely made for me (hence I have marked a 5 for the photos/location and type correspondence section above). The theme was wine, and the rooms named after the wine-making regions of Spain, so the information around the hotel should appeal to those with an interest in this area. As we were only there for the night, we didn't get to see much, however, the Prado Museum is well worth a visit, and contains a huge Goya collection (I have mere passing interest in art, but found his work fascinating). It's a short distance down the hill from the hotel. You'll pass a Starbucks on the way (but don't bother going in - it's terrible) Heading the other direction is a large plaza, surrounded with small bars and restaurants. There's a great atmosphere there at night, and it's a great spot for afternoon lunch. Continuing on through a load of narrow streets will bring you to the larger shopping area, with an impression Corte de Ingles department store (spanning 3 buildings).

This is a good budget hotel with a hip, minimalist kind of style. But the desk service is uneven. I had asked for a shuttle to the airport, which costs 20 Euros, the evening before my departure from the hotel. Instead, I was stuck with a taxi driver who was going to cost me 35 Euros. He was giving me a difficult time. The desk person was unsympathetic and inflexible. I ended up walking a quarter mile to the taxi stop with my luggage, where I found an honest taxi driver who charged me 20 Euros.

Was hard to find, and the room was extremely small (single room). But the location is just fine and the price was alright.

The service and location is excellent. I was able to walk around the most important places like, museums, Plaza Mayor and others. If I go back to Madrid, for sure I'll stay at El Prado.

Bring earplugs - but worth it! Madrid is a noisy place! So centrally located that we only used the metro to get to the airport. 3 price levels for breakfast is brilliant. Free internet, very helpful staff! Vegetarian restaraunt around the corner is excellent

Nice hotel close to the museums. Access to internet in a lounge off the lobby. Interesting parking garage with a car elevator. Convenient breakfast options / pricing.

I am used that breakfast is included, but is was not... and also, in *** hotel, I would not expect the room without window. Getting up, I would like to look out to see what is the weather like etc.
