We stayed at the Gaudi 30.4.08 - 4.5.08. Not our first nor second choice but the ones we wanted were fully booked. The hotel is in a great location, you can walk every where. No major complaints, just a bunch of little things. Breakfast was good, but irritating that there was NEVER an opened sparkling wine bottle, nor any champagne glasses available - had to be asked for... Hotel a bit run down and drab, but as we really did nothing more than sleep there it was adequate. Pillows uncomfortable. The in-room safe that you have to pay extra for is ridicoulous - they should just charge 5 eur more per night and include it in the price, also update to new digital safes so that you do not have to carry the key around with you. Madrid is a great city and we loved it! Would love to go back some day. Would I stay at the Gaudi again? No, next time we will book earlier and get the hotel we really want.

Just come back from a 4 days stay at this Hotel and would definately go back ,It is in great spot for all sight seeing and shopping.The Hotel upgraded our room to one of the suites which was great ,as we even had hot tub bath on an outdoor terrace with great views and jaccuzi bath inside the room.. The decor is typical of a city hotel but nice and very clean. The bed was a superking size bed and very comfortable. We were on the top floor and a bit of traffic noise could be heard from outside but it was not a problem.Massive selection at breakfast including bacon,egg,croissants,cakes,bread,jams,sparkling wine,tea,coffee,juice,cereals,toast,cheese,ham,salami,too much choice.
Great selection of toiletries which included,razor,toothbrush,sewing kits,nail files,tissues ,shoe shine plus the usual shampoos etc were provided in the room. Even little sweets each day.
The staff were very friendly and room service very efficient ,and not too expensive.
If you do visit Madrid you must go to Ginger restaurant,Plaza Angel ,great food and inexpensive but quality food.Taxis from the airport cost 25-30 euros approx.Tour bus worth doing.

“Meet the expectations”

This is a fine hotel that meets the expectations in lively Gran Via area.

Hotel is fine with good sized-room, very fine bathroom and comfortable beds. Ok, the pillows were the only down side. I don't know how, but pillows were really uncomfortable! I havent tried the breakfast as I had a very good rate from a web site, the breakfast was not included as expected. But no prob, there are plenty bars, pubs, restaurants etc. around Gran Via, so there is no possibility for you to stay hungry there!

I would surely book this hotel again if I go to Madrid and if I have this kind of fine rate again!

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Hotel A Gaudi for a week at the end of August / start of September on a last minute break.

We loved Madrid and the hotel is so central that it's literally moments from all of the shops, bars, clubs and restaurants. There is also a metro stop within 5 minutes walk.

The road could be heard but was not a problem as it's the pay off between the location and the noise and we certainly had no problems with it.

We went room only so cannot comment on the food, but the staff were friendly, rooms were clean and we would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Madrid.

1/1 found this review helpful

We enjoyed out stay at the Hotel A. Gaudi (aka Catalonia Gaudi) in November. The room was clean, quiet and roomy with comfortable beds. There were two big windows that opened allowing airflow but no view out of the windows as they opened to the inside---not a big deal to us as we weren't there for the view out the windows! The staff at the front desk was friendly but not overly helpful with recommending restaurants, etc. They did take care of calling a cab for us on our last day there. There is one computer with internet access that can be used for a fee (slide credit card). There is a safe in the room which requires a 20 euro deposit and a fee of 3,9 euros/day. The location is very centrally located and there is only a short walk (a block or two) to the nearest Metro station. The breakfast was included in our price and was a perfect way to start our day! Huge variety of fresh fruits and pastries, eggs, sausage, cheeses, meats, cereals, fresh juices, sparkling wine, on and on. Would definitely stay here again when visiting Madrid!
