Michelin Guide "This hotel occupying a residential building is renowned for its friendly and personalised service."
Rough Guide "A stylish, 37-room hotel owned by the same group as the nearby Ópera, and similarly good value."
Frommer's "This hospitable little hotel stands in a charmingly restored 19th-century building... Among the key nearby sights are the Royal Opera House and Royal Palace." Full review
Concierge "Out of all the city's new design hotels, this is the one that most carefully blends old and new, keeping an eye on its architectural past while still creating an utterly modern guest experience."
Travel + Leisure "Near the Plaza Isabel I and the Teatro Real (Madrid’s opera house), the hotel is an easy walk to Plaza Mayor and Puerta del Sol." Full review
DK Eyewitness "“Meninas” Hotel, named after the famous painting by Velazquez, is housed in a restored 14th-century town house tucked away down a side street just off the Plaza de Opera."

Michelin Guide "The Tryp Ambassador has a stately atmosphere with an attractive patio typical of this exclusive district of the city."
Frommer's "The Ambassador doesn't feel like part of a hotel chain. It's far too individual and still largely resembles the elegant baronial palace it was." Full review
Time Out "Located in a former palace, the Ambassador manages to retain a vaguely baronial air despite being part of a chain." Full review
Star Service "This smart midrange hotel stands well above the Tryp Cibeles, occupying the renovated mid-19th-century palace of the Dukes of Granada." Full review

The 21 well-priced junior suites (twice the size of standard accommodations) are worth requesting for their superior decor, outdoor terraces, and quality finishes.
Condé Nast Traveler "Baroque flourishes scattered amid modern contraptions like bluetooth speakers and climate control touchpads. Glass-walled bathrooms, which can be shielded by curtains, are another striking feature." Full review
Wallpaper "Chicken wings roasted with fenugreek, the ever reliable suckling pig, cod tripe braised with chickpeas, and slabs of top sirloin that have been marinated for three months in a vinaigrette of meat jus." Full review

Michelin Guide "The comforts are first-rate, from the baths, beds, and bedding to the soundproofing and lightproofing...and no fewer than three restaurants deliver on the promise of Spain’s fine culinary reputation" Full review
