Rough Guide "Minimalist decor, designer furnishings, high-tech fittings, a super-cool penthouse bar and a chic restaurant serving fusion-style food."
Frommer's "The prestigious Meliá hotel company has equipped the hotel with all the latest communications facilities... The hotel stands beside one of the liveliest cafe-filled squares in Madrid." Full review
Concierge "Once the hotel of choice among visiting bullfighters, the 192-room ME in Madrid, formerly the Grand Hotel Reina Victoria, could just be the coolest hotel in the city."
Fodor's "In an unbeatable location, this ultramodern hotel retains a few reminders of the era when bullfighters would convene here before setting off to Las Ventas." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The rooms boast a martini bar and the latest entertainment technology including a DVD and CD library, a plasma TV, a complimentary iPod and surround-sound speakers."
Condé Nast Traveler "Formerly the Grand Hotel Reina Victoria, this hotel enjoys “a great location” on the Plaza de Santa Ana, near art galleries and silver and antiques shops." Full review
Star Service "Aura rooms are the standard size, Vibe rooms provide a tad more space, and the Mode rooms add better views of the plaza to their even larger size." Full review
BlackBook "Lined with restaurants where famous bullfighters dine, and bars where Hemingway drank, Plaza Santa Ana is one of the most well known squares in Madrid."
Time Out "The end result is supremely comfortable, with luxury bedlinen, Aveda toiletries and lots to keep gadget-fiends happy, not only with plasma screens, CD and DVD players, but even iPod adapters." Full review
Lonely Planet "Once the landmark Gran Victoria Hotel, the Madrid home of many a famous bullfighter, this audacious new hotel is a landmark of a different kind." 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
i
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.
