Fantastic family stag at RIU Plaza. Great size family room, excellent breakfast and perfect location to explore Madrid from. All the Transport links you need are just few metres from the hotel. The 360 roof bar was fabulous with amazing views out over Madrid. I would certainly recommend this hotel.

Great location! Breakfast had a wide variety of options and was very good. Access to the rooftop bar was a nice touch as well. Only downside was the pool closed quite early one night due to a private event. Nothing we couldn’t work around, just happened to be the one evening our son wanted to use the pool. Would still stay again and highly recommend.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The staff were exceptionally polite, professional, and always ready to help with a genuine smile. Their kindness and courtesy truly made a difference in my experience. The room size was excellent — very spacious, comfortable, and well-organized, providing plenty of space to relax after a long day. The breakfast was another highlight of my stay. There was a great variety of options, all fresh and well-presented, catering to different tastes and preferences. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay here again.

8/10 Very good

Rooms were great and up to date, location was also perfect! Breakfast was good but I wouldn’t pay $30 euro per person for it. Only downsides were that parking was expensive (32 euro) and the garage didn’t work so we were stuck inside for 10 + minutes and never got some sort of refund. In addition, I think there was some sewage leak and it had a strange smell on our second day.
Katryna, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We stayed at room 2222, it needs a wooden door in the bathroom because the glass door offers zero privacy. It also has one glass wall in the shower. The room was small and hot even when the heat was off and the window only opens a few inches. The air conditioning wasn’t working during our stay. The hotel offers buffet service for breakfast, lots of options. The area where the hotel is located is walkable, it has a subway station very close and there are a lot of restaurants in the area.
