This is a true grand old lady. I stayed there with my wife for a 4 night city break. We were looking for a comfortable, central hotel and found the Wellington. No disappointment at all. Sure, the hotel could do with an update ... but it's just fine as well as it is. Very clean, good amenities, everything functional and... More

I stayed here with friends last year whilst in Madrid for the night. I usually stay at the Adler which is top notch, but we just needed something simple for the night and the Wellington did us a good deal. The hotel was certainly very grand in it's day. The building is still quite impressive and very well situated. The... More

This hotel does not deserve 5 stars, maybe once it did but no more. The decor is terribly outdated. Upon check in we were given a foul smelling smoking room, and told we should have asked for a non smoking room when we first reserved. No apologies by the lady working at the desk, just a real rude attitude. We... More

I stayed at the Wellington for a week in order to explored Madrid. the Hop On Red Bus stops at the door of the hotel. I took a two day ticket and spent the first day sight seeing and the second day I used it as a means of public transport. I also took a walking tour of the old... More

GENERAL IMPRESSION: The hotel is quite classic, impressive, comfortable. A 5 star hotel had it not been for some service faults, especially with the final bill: had we not checked carefully we would have paid 100 euros that weren't due! Got no aplogies for that either. We found a very good package offer which included breakfast and spa. LOCATION: located... More

Hotel Wellingon staff was exceptional in their friendliness and attention to meeting the needs of their guests. The rooms were very nicely appointed, quiet, and clean. And, of equal importance, the beds and pillows were comfortable and covered with nice linens. The hotel is located about 2 blocks from the subway so access to mass transportation was easy. The hotel... More

My husband and I just spent 6 nights in Madrid to celebrate our anniversary and had a wonderful experience staying at the Wellington. First of all, since they knew it was our anniversary, we were upgraded to a beautiful suite with a large balcony and wonderful view of the city. The room was extremely spacious, had a large king-size comfortable... More

The Wellington is a splendid old hotel in a great location and must have been magnificent in its heyday. The staff were indifferent at best which was disappointing; certainly for Spain and surprising for Madrid where people have a choice. My room reminded me of Inspector Clouseau's in Gstaad: tiny and with frosted glass to hide the view! The curtains... More

The Wellington in Madrid, according to pundits, should provide a "royal" experience. I guess that being in Madrid, Spain, it gets as "imperfect" as the Borbons (the spanish royal family) do. The building and its interiors its absolutely beautiful. The reading lunch adjacent to the lobby is elegant and comfortable. The bar is superb. As of 2010 it is the... More
