Michelin Guide Star
"Behind this establishment's attractive, classical facade is a designer reception hall and an elegant social area."
Frommer's "It's located in a magnificent 19th-century Belle Epoque mansion, which has been tastefully renovated and refurbished with additional 21st-century accoutrements." Full review
Concierge "At chef Ramon Freixa's eponymous restaurant (which received a Michelin star), the amuse-bouche is actually ten different small bites, and breakfast consists of five different pastries."
Fodor's "Discreetly tucked away in the midst of the Salamanca shopping district, this is a gem of a boutique hotel. It's chic but low-key." Full review
Star Service "This hotel is certainly unique, but it is its distinctive service standards, in-room amenity roster, sedate, trendy interiors, and dining room, not necessarily its size that make it one of a kind." Full review

"A luxury boutique hotel in the well-heeled Salamanca neighborhood, the Hotel Unico is one of Madrid's most refined and exclusive stays." Full review
Afar Magazine "The Hotel Único isn’t fooling around, but it sure knows how to have a good time." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"Housed in an elegant 19th-century building, it is all about good design and great service with no daft gimmicks, which is a bit of a relief these days." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Step off the chicest shopping street in Madrid and into a cosseting world of 1980s-inflected glamour." Full review

The garden rooms avoid the faintest whisper of street noise but feature exhibitionism-inducing floor-to-ceiling windows in the bathroom that might be off-putting to some.
Mr & Mrs Smith "Royalty would feel at home in this gilded hideaway with its fine cuisine, decadent decor and elaborate sculptures." Full review

Michelin Guide "Although it occupies the site of one of the oldest inns in the city, this hotel is a cutting-edge property."
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"This restored 19th-century inn sits on one of our favourite streets in Madrid and rooms either look out over the street or over the pretty internal patio." Full review
OysterUpper-middle-range
"It’s a great choice for travelers looking for a fun place to stay in a lively area convenient to most of Madrid’s attractions." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"This inn in the oldest and most atmospheric part of Madrid is now a chic three-star hotel where contemporary style blends smoothly with traditional architecture." Full review
Frommer's "The rooms of this boutique hotel and bar are bright and designer-ish, with a Moorish theme. The accommodation is set around a much more traditional courtyard." Full review

Make sure you get an upstairs room, either overlooking the street (great views but noisier) or the courtyard (quieter but smaller). Avoid the small ground-floor bedroom right beside the restaurant.
