Hotel was clean and modern. Breakfast was a standard continental breakfast and very nice. The location is superb and close to main tourist areas and transport. There are plenty of restaurant and bars to choose from varying in price. Overall the stay was excellent and superb value for money.

My friends and I were very impressed with the quality of Hotel Francisco given the price and star rating. The location is excellent, and you can easily walk and use public transit to get to all the great sites of Madrid. The hotel was clean and modern, and the staff were very accommodating. There are plenty of restaurants and bars... More

The hotel is probably the best value for money I have ever had (booked at the price of approx 70 eur/night). It is very clean (cleaning every day), pretty and modern design, nice view, really caring hotel personnel. In short the hotel is great and I liked it, but the following could have been better: 1. We had a non-smoking... More

This is in a great central location. The street is very lively on a Saturday night but the french windows keep most of the noise out. Helpful reception staff. Good large modern room. Bread and pastries for breakfast: no fruit or eggs. The staff were eating as well and wore no distinguishing uniforms.

Great modern hotel in the heart of Madrid. 5 minutes walk to Sol or Opera metro stations. 10 minutes walk to Palacio Real and Plaza Mayor and Prado museum. Famous chocolateria San Gines is around the corner. Very nice small room, great helpful staff. Very comfortable bed. Breakfast is very poor but you can get coffee and ham and cheese... More

I stayed here for a weekend city break, the hotel is in a great location, two metro stations within five minutes walk, lots of shops and cafes, minutes from gran via, sol and plaza major. The room was nice but basic, no ashtray, tea/coffee or comfortable chair. The bathroom had a clear glass wall facing the room so no privacy... More

We stayed at this hotel at one of the hottest times of the year (July). Was very pleased to see that the room had air conditioning. The hotel was in the process of being refurbished but there was very little evidence of any disruption being caused. The reception staff were excellent throughout our stay, always friendly and helpful. Breakfast each... More

I really wanted to give a higher score, but after three nights at Francisco I, we decided we wouldn’t stay here again so a 3 it is - if we had stayed only one night I would have given a higher score. First impressions are fantastic - fantastic location central to all tourist sites. Fantastic rooms, very large, modern, comfortable,... More
