We knew it was a Marriott and had low expectations, but this place was spotless, quiet, chic and modern and very, very comfortable. Deep bath, deep mattress, flat-screen tv, complimentary mini bar, free wifi in the lobby, and a great breakfast. Why they don't charge tons more is beyond me. If you're up for a short walk to the Prado... More

Stayed here last week for 2 nights with business conference nearby. Only 20mins cab from Barajas about 25E. Super slow and cramped lift but the hotel did not feel full itself. Very easy for Reina Sofia and Prado, Retiro, Atocha station etc. Walkable to Sol and Pl St Ana. Great bus links down to Legazpi. Good reception staff with French... More

Pros: Close to train station (although walking there at night, in an unfamiliar neighborhood, with luggage, should be avoided.) Be precise in the street name, as there are similarly-named streets nearby, which proved confusing to a cab driver who had been driving cabs in Madrid for, I would guess, a week. We showed cab drivers, none of whom were Spanish,... More

For the price of this hotel I expected a little bit more. The room was nice and comfortable but the fact that wifi is only free in the lobby really bothered me. For 8 euros a day you could have it in your room, which is a bit pricey. The lobby was small and did not offer much. My room... More

Walked to this hotel from Atocha train station, took five minutes. Overall, this is a very good hotel. Excellent reception lounge and restaurant.

Wifi on first two floors, spotty higher up. But it is... More

This hotel is on a busy street in a not great area. We booked as we wanted to be near the train station however it's not a walk if you have bags. Thre is a small bar onto the reception arae which is functional, not much more and it closes bang on midnight. Service at check-in was very slow but... More

I have stayed a couple times in Carlton for various reasons. Each time I tried to find a better location for a price. No luck so far. The hotel itself, at least from the outside may not be appealing, especially for Marriott's denizens, however if one gives a chance and step in you may be pleasantly surprised. Staff is usually...

We stayed here one night on our way out of Spain after taking high speed train from Seville. Easy walk to hotel with luggage. Nice lobby lounge with internet access and great table service. Elevators are SUPER tiny but there are two so getting to and from is doable without a lot of hassle. Room was spacious (even with extra... More
