We returned to the Villa Real in May '08 having visited once before in 2001. It was still top-notch. Rooms are well-equipped and comfortable. Staff is ultra-helpful. Breakfast spread is really excellent (if pricey). Fantastic location nearby the big 3 museums and park, close to Atocha train station, lots of restaurants and tapas bars are within an easy walk. Well... more

This very comfortable hotel was a great place from which to visit Madrid. It is an easy walk to the big museums, and other interesting sights. The staff at the hotel was very helpful in suggesting restaurants, and routes. The rooms have a bed and an area for sofa, desk, and TV that is separated from the bed by a... more

my wife and I stayed 4 nights at the Villa Real on a vacation trip thru Spain. The hotel was ideally located for our needs; walking distance to the top museums, tapas neighborhoods, and old Madrid. We had a normal room with the step down living room and a little balcony overlooking the small park in front of the hotel.... more

The 2 days my husband and I have stayed there changed our opinion on the city. We booked the duplex suite: the first floor looks like a home office with a... more

Villa Real is in the perfect location! Literally a five minute walk to the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum, a ten minute walk to the Museo del Prado, and then from the Prado an additional ten minutes to the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía. The hotel is also situated a fifteen walk to Plaza Mayor. Thus, it is extremely centrally located... more

The location of this hotel couldn't be better: a short walk from the Prado and the Tyssen-Bornemisza museum. It is also close to abundant restaurants and tapa bars. But other than the excellent location, and in view of its relatively high prices, the hotel has little to recommend it. The rooms are small and the service indifferent. One day our... more
