Catalonia Atocha

Very clean, well organised, great location - handy for shoos and restaurants as well as the metro station. Nice airy, modern feel, as well as having a Spanish vibe.

Hotel is located on main a street (Calle Atocha) and is within easy walking distance of the main sites: Plaza Mayor, Royal Palace, Prado, Museum of Modern Art, etc. Although we had a room on the street side of the hotel, it was remarkably quiet. Room was spacious with a King bed and accommodating bathroom with a large shower. Everything is updated, i.e. modern, We stayed for five nights and were very happy with our time spent. Also, there's a coin-op laundry which is just a 3 minute walk away. Would definitely stay there again.

Very good and rich breakfast. Definitely worth the price. The restaurant in hotel acceptable, although nothing striking. Very helpful personell, very friendly. Clean and neat. Comfortable bed. We had our room at the back of the building lookin at a narrow, quiet street. This is definitely of importance as the main street in the front is quite noisy. This is a perfect place for walkin sightseeing. All important museums are in walking distance. A lot of restaurants in the vicinity. Good place to stay in Madrid!

The location was close to everything, the room was very nice and super quiet, the bed was comfortable, the pool was also very nice. The best part was the breakfast-it was phenomenal! The staff were very friendly and helpful. There were also two different containers of flavored water in the lobby so you could drink water when you got back from walking about. I really appreciated that they had one container without cucumbers because I can’t stand the taste of them. I thought this was really thoughtful.

My wife and I stayed at the Catalonia Atocha in April and rated it very highly so, when returning to Spain for another holiday in June, this time with our (adult) children, we booked it again. Once more we found the rooms large, comfortable, well-appointed and - despite the hotel being on a main road -- quiet. The location is excellent - 15 mins walk from Atocha station and the Prado etc. or, in the other direction, Plaza Mayor and the cathedral. The staff are friendly and very efficient, with excellent English but without forcing it -- I like to try out my Spanish rather than reception automatically switching to English. The breakfast was excellent -- scrambled and boiled eggs, plain and vegetable tortillas, half a dozen different cereals, fruit, several different juices, a wide range of pastries, breads and cakes, freshly ground coffee and even sparkling wine if you like to start your day with a fizz. We are all vegetarian but there was plenty, hot and cold, for the carnivores too. They will also cook eggs to order if you prefer fried or an omelette.
