Reina Victoria Hotel Madrid - Reviews - Madrid

I visited the hotel some years ago, when it was part of the Tryp group. Traveling to Madrid I wanted to treat myself on high luxury, thus booked a very expensive hotel in the heart of the city. I must emphasize, that last year the hotel has undergone some changes and is now a Sol Melia hotel.
The location of this 4-star hotel is perfect. Situated on Plaza Santa Ana opposite Teatro Espagnol, it's in walking distance of Puerta del Sol and Plaza Mayor. The Prado Museum is slightly further away.

The hotel has a nice lobby with bar. If you hate bull fighting, please avoid the bar, because it was full of (old black-and-white) pictures of toreadors, matadors and big stuffed bull heads ready to attack you.

The hotel room I booked was way too expensive for what I got. There was just enough space for a single bed, you could heartly move around. The bathroom was clean, but also built for small people and when I complained they said sorry, but no other rooms available.

Next night I found another 4-star hotel called Agumar (Paseo de la Reina Cristina 7, south of Retiro Park), which was half in price and the room twice in size...
