Praga - Madrid

A 4th class hotel with rude and non-helpful desk staff in a very poor neighborhood of Madrid. All in all: a totally depressing experience.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel should take new pictures, because actually it look much better than the pictures at the Internet site. The restaurant is very good and close very late, the personnel try very hard to be polite and pleasent, and is verY clean, the beds and the pillows are very comfortable. I will stay there again in two weeks because I really like It very  […] much. Read more

We enjoyed the river walk and restaurants about one block away. The staff was knowledgable, but not really friendly. Although housekeeping always had a friendly greeting. The rooms are small, but clean and well kept except for one cockroach about the size of my thumb we found during our two week stay. The #23 bus was very convenient in getting to Plaza […] Mayor and the subway was a fifteen minute walk away. Breakfasts were great, but no variation which got old after a two week stay. Overall pretty much as advertised. I would stay there again. Read more

Very nice hotel with good friendly service and comfortable beds. Would stay there again.

Pleasant stay. And the price was good. A decent walk from the subway, but we were able to get around fine. Staff was helpful and courteous,

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Great value for price.

The only problem was that when we arrived at the hotel on May 9 the same was not prepared for the heat wave that had started and that they did not have air condition until the night of the 11th. They claimed that it was still winter. Temperatures were in the high 80's. After that all was fine. I also belive that internet and the safe in the room should […] be without charge. Read more

Breakfast for 8 euro - execelent - best buy - and the hotel is close to bus and metro - and enjoy a walk along the river

The halls were very noisy because a lot of children were running in the halls. The location of the hotel was away from the center of town. The employees were very helpful.

Hotel Praga is located in a very laid back/residential area of Madrid where shops are more affordable than in the city center. This is nice in case you want to buy water, fruit, walking shoes, etc. It's also close to a VERY beautiful park, and about 10 minutes away from the Marques de Vadillo metro stop. The hotel is accessible by taxi, bus (line 23), […] or metro and we felt safe in the neighborhood at all times but be aware that, unlike the city center, foot traffic stops in the neighborhood around midnight. The beds were very comfortable and our room had a large balcony with a beautiful view of the park. TV was basic. The things I disliked about the hotel were: -the constant smell of cigarette smoke from other rooms that infiltrated our room -the wi-fi would often crash and take a while to reboot (disappointing because it's not free) -sometimes we would have to run the water for 10 minutes to get hot water In conclusion this is a fair/basic hotel and did meet most of our needs. It is good for people who will be constantly on the go and will not be spending much time in their rooms. If I were on a budget I might consider staying here again but I would explore other hotels in my more favorite areas of Madrid like La Latina. Read more

The hotel is OK but the beds are terrible. I had body ache after I left the hotel.

Genuine Expedia guest review

We booked this hotel prior to a bus tour as that was more convenient. Its easy to catch the bus to the main sites but is a bit expensive to take a cab. There is a beautiful public park a block away on the river which grants you a beautiful view of the city. The rooms are small but clean.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

#23 bus stops right in front of hotel and takes you the half-mile to the Metro station every five to seven minutes. Two good-sized grocery stores within twenty yards of the hotel for loading up on inexpensive bottled water and snacks. Didn't try the restaurant, but it had a lot of patrons in the evenings. Analog TV small and dated.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel is in good condition and our room was very comfortable and clean. The bathroom was also modern and clean. The neighborhood is full of locals, not tourist, which is nice, but also means it's a bit out of the way. It's a 10-15 minute walk to the metro and another 10 minute ride to Opera/Sol. There is a bus which stops right out front of the […] hotel though, which goes to Plaza Mayor. Nice hotel especially considering the hotels.com special rate! Read more

We asked about direction to the staff but she was not really helpful and not friendly. Not all staff can speak english well...the hotel was full with group tours, so it was kind of crowded...

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Hotel is clean with comfortable beds, although most rooms at lower rate are twin beds (good size and comfortable) but apparently not many double or queen size available. Hotel was clean, staff were professional. Buffet food was varied and adequate but nothing special. There was hot food and the buffet was included so can't really complain. Hotel is […] a couple of miles from the sights of the city and is not as close as implied, but there is a bus #23 that goes to and from the Madrid center and from there everything is probably within a mile walking distance. The subway is about a 10-15 minute walk from the hotel and with one transfer you can get to the center of the city and the sights. Read more

Had a nice stay here and it helped that friends were staying here too. It was far from museums and main Plazas, and the metro nearby was under construction at the time we were there. We had to use the bus more than we wanted. Carlos and one of the young ladies spoke English and were very helpful with directions, etc. Breakfast was plentiful, and I do […] suggest that you book your room to include it. Although this has nothing to do with the hotel, be careful of cabbies trying to rip you off. We had one taking us from here to Puerto Del Sol, but got pulled over because he indicated he had more passengers than the two of us. We figured he was building up the fare when he started driving this roundabout way through all these side roads. It was probably that and the fact he didn't want to get caught. We ended up getting a free ride after the police surrounded him. I used two other cabs without any problems, so just be aware, or take the metro if you can. Read more

Lots of hot water, decent location, Metro stop within a reasonable distance (although closed temporarily for repair), some street noise ... not hotel´s fault. Fine hotel for the price.

I was very pleased with our room and it was a great location to visit many of Madrid"s museums and parks.

I found the staff to be very knowledgeable about the community and it's surroundings and most of the hotel staff spoke english . This is my second time using this Hotel and I would use it again,I highly recommend Hotel Praga in Madrid.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel is 10 min walking to the metro, 40 min walking to Plaza Mayor, or Atosha train station. The bus goes every 10-15min in front of the hotel to Plaza Mayor. It is 15 min ride by bus. The hotel is in the safe area, with 3 supermakets near the hotel. The hotel has tourists' and students' groups, ask the different floor, not on the same floor with […] the groups. The breakfast has a good selection. Read more

Nice, clean, comfy bed, good temp. Farther from downtown than I thought but bus stop outside. Walls arre a little thin.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel was nice and clean and the location was not the greatest. About a 10 minute walk or so to the train, but it was fine enough. Takes a good hour from the airport to get to the hotel from the metro. Everyday the cleaning women would knock on the door even though I put the "Do not disturb" tag on the door because they wanted to clean before their […] shift was over. So they would clean while we were in the room and while my boyfriend was in the shower. It was uncomfortable. Then when I checked out, they charged me for a movie I did not order but they insisted I did order. At 11 Euro I would not be ordering a movie especially when I am visiting a country. I could do that at home. Finally I had to let them charge me because I had to get to the airport and they refused to take it off. I agreed to the Wifi charges of 4 Euro per 24 hours, so why I would deny this one charge is ridiculous. Unfortunately no one spoke great English so it was hard for me to argue with them. But it definitely put a bad taste in my mouth for this hotel. Other than that the rooms were fine and comfortable and clean. If it wasn't for those two things that occurred, I would have stayed here again. Read more

Convenient location with public transportation. Supermarkets and restaurants near by. But only one English channel on TV and charges for wireless use.

Genuine Expedia guest review

this hotel will suffice for those who want cleanliness, service, and convenience without going over the top....highly recommended if you can walk the 800m ot the metro.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We arrived from the sister hotel in Barcelona (which was fabulous) and were rather dissapointed. Admittedly this hotel is very old, and the rooms smelt "musty" and also had the smell of stale cigarette smoke (which is horrible). The staff were not particularly friendly and it seemed a major effort for them when asked a question or for some help. When […] we asked for an iron it seemed as though we had asked for a million dollars and of course were flatly refused. All in all it was a bit dissapointing as this was our last day in Madrid.

I did not like breakfast in this hotel.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Hotels in Spain are much different than US. Once you get over your expectation, you can be satisfied with hotel praga. It was clean, safe, and provided basic toileteries and towels. And had air conditioning, which is important in the summer. It is outside the downtown area, and within about 4 blocks of the metro which takes you into downtown. The food […] in the area is over-priced and not great. There is a grocery store across the street that we frequented. Hotel is good for a family but you could stay at a hostel (slightly less quality) for about the same price in the downtown area and save travel time to all the sights. Read more

I stayed 3 days. Only one person out of 6 front desk people I saw was helpful. Others don't really care at all. Hotel bed is uncomfortable, specially the queen size. The twin beds are better. I felt I was in a motel 6. Go somewhere else.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Everything was great. Clean rooms, excellent breakfast, low-cost 24-hr internet connection, couteous staff. Only bad point is the distance to the nearest Metro station (Marquez de Vadillo, 700m) but Bus route 23 stops in front of hotel. Both cost 1 euro. Really cheap to do your things in Madrid.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This is a hotel mainly for tour groups. You will see large groups almost everyday. Checking in or out can mean getting stuck behind them. The room rates are very good but the location is away from the city centre. If you are staying here, get a ten-trip metro/bus ticket upon arrival at the airport. The bus stop is right in front of the hotel. There […] is also a queue of taxi(s) waiting for passengers. Read more

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We had three nights in this hotel, two as part of a Cosmos tour and although the Praga is not centrally located, there was good regular public transport to the city right outside the hotel entrance. We had previously read that quality of the breakfast declined if you were part of a tour but we did not find this to be the case - had good selection and […] quality was good. Unfortunately our room (246) was extremely small and looked out at brick walls - couldn't even see thE sky. Read more

There are always long line ups at the lobby and seems not enough hotel staff to take care of the influx of customers. The staffs are not that good in English but capable for basic communication. The Wi-Fi was not working as the staff told me no password was required but didn't seem to be the case. The room was clean and big with a big bathroom. The […] wall of the room was very thin and I could hear the exact conversation from next door. The location of the hotel is ~15 mins off the subway station so you will need a bit of walking to go out. It has a supermarket downstairs so that is convenient. The neighbourhood is nice & safe but it could be noisy if you are staying on the lower floor due to traffic outside. Near the subway station a bus can bring you to Atocha train station within 20mins so that you don't have to carry your luggage up and down the stairs in the subway, and actually it is quicker to go by bus then subway for that purpose. The room rate is a bit expensive but not sure if that's the norm for Madrid hotel rate. It is an ok hotel to stay but I would recommend to search for other alternatives and compare if possible.

This is an ideal coach party destination for people from all over the world. Theres no need to set a morning alarm as people unwittingly wake you up at 6.30am as they leave talking and singing in excited voices. Even late at night you'll hear people returning to their rooms without any consideration of others who might be trying to sleep. The 3 lifts […] are very cosy - 4 people per lift, adn none can be called for you when a coach party has just arrived in the foyer. Not sure if terracotta marble goes with blue carpet in the stairwell, but rooms appear to be well kitted out and bathroom in good repair. Even had a small fridge in the double room. However, did not dare to use the wardrobe for fear of the doors falling out onto me. Shame the TV channels were all in Spanish. Although a 10 min walk to the Metro, at night the area was not too well lit, the pavements are full of holes around the trees and you try to avoid walking into tables and chairs outside the small bar/restaurants. Shops open late in the area - Lidl was a disapointment. Didn't try the restaurant. Stayed one night, woudl not have wanted to stay too many - although the bed was comfortable! Read more

Not in a very convenient part of the city. Off the beaten path. Hotel a little noisy with a lot of bus tours. Breakfast food just fair.

Very good service friendly staff. Did not enjoy breakfast as there wasn't enough choice of hot food especially for vegetarians.
