This hotel is on the "outskirts" of what Priceline calls Old Madrid. It is quite a walk to the different plazas where most of the tourists want to be. However it is quite close to the Museums. I paid $190 US per night which I thought was a little high for Priceline but it was last minute and it was... more

We spent 3 nights at the hotel. Though reception had a business-like approach we found them friendly and helpful. The rooms and shower facilities were reasonably spacious and very clean. Breakfasts were great and we loved sitting at the bar for a sundowner. The Carlton is centrally positioned and once we had worked out the metro we were able to... more

Excellent Place to stay in Madrid. Location is great. Very nice and modern hotel, and staffs are friendly. Breakfast Buffet is great, but expensive. more

The hotel wasn't as bad as I thought it would be after having read some reviews. From the airport we bought the 10 ticket pass and went to the Atocha subway stop after transferring once. From there it was about a 5 minute walk. The neighborhood the hotel is located in is not that great but for the price you... more

We stayed in the Carlton for 5 nights at the end of March 08. Loved the hotel, only found one tiny fault: The air conditioning-because of the time of year, only the heating worked, and as the weather outside was warm, it made our room boiling. We ended up having to leave windows open (we were up on the 5th... more

Easy to get to this hotel - buy 10-ticket 'Metrobus' at airport. Add 2 euros supplement each way for getting to and from airport. The airport is huge and empty - takes ages to walk to the gates - use the lifts and not escalators to save time. Nearest metro stop is Palos de la Frontera (line 3) and 5... more

I made my booking over the hotels website which was really easy to use and booking details could be checked online after to ensure confirmation. No need to pay any thing in advance The hotel was easy to find and close to the metro. Good location for museums and gardens, about a 15 min walk to the Plaza Mayor. Nice... more

We stayed here for 3 nights in March 2008. Friendly helpful porter and check in was efficient if not over-friendly. Room was non-smoking, as requested, on the 6th floor. I was a bit worried about noise as we were overlooking the main road but the windows were well soundproofed. The bathroom was a little bit on the small side but... more

The hotel Carlton is nicely kept up, rooms are big and modern and the view from the 6th floor over the city was nice. However, if you are here to see Madrid I think you could find more centrally located hotels that would meet your needs. If I had known more about the city (I did try to find some... more
