ME Madrid - Madrid

Very nice hotel in a great position for all the sights in Madrid, both the old city and the Bourbon city. Easy access to all the sights of Madrid, good rooms, nice breakfasts and good service. My only complaint is that the front of the hotel looks onto Plaza Santa Ana, which is very nice except that it is extremely noisy into the early hours on all nights and not just the weekend. We were on the first floor facing the square and were very disturbed. Either higher up or away from the plaza would be better.

A perfect hotel for a short getaway. Fantastic location right in the centre of town. Rooms are lovely but small. Beds very comfortable, bathrooms perfect. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay there and would go back.

We checked in and before we ever saw our room we were told that it was very small and an upgrade was available. We checked and it was very small, even by european standards. Once we paid for the upgrade we got a nice room with a view of the square. The square was very large with lots of resaurants and bars which close very late. Once they close everyone moves outside and yells and parties out there, making it very hard to sleep. We may have been better off with the inside small room and no view. Very clean rooms and a nice size bathroom (the upgraded room). Staff was friendly and spoke good English. Close to what you will want to see while in Madrid.

Great hotel, but there is a loud nightclub on the top floor. I was 4 floors below, and could hear the music in my room. I guess it's not a bad thing if you are going to Madrid to party!

our first 3 nights in spain for our honeymoon were spent at the ME and it was perfect. the room itself was tiny, but the layout was good considering, so it was totally comfortable for our needs. the lighting options were Fun, the AC worked perfectly, the bed was very comfortable, and Tema at the front desk was perfectly charming, super friendly, and great with recommendations. In fact all the front desk staff were accommodating. The roofdeck at night was quite a scene - but as a guest of the hotel we could avoid the lines and enjoy a great view and vibe of the trendy roofdeck bar, which was huge, and hopping in the late hours. The Plaza was a perfect spot for lunch, and loads of tapas restaurants in the area, a quick walk to Plaza Mayor, etc. Everything was great about our experience here.

Lovely hotel and great location just a few minutes walk from all the attractions, however the room was tiny really small, but comfortable and clean. I dont know if I would stay again as the room was too small.For the price I would expect something a little more comfortable.

The hotel is walkable to all spots within downtown Madrid. The room itself was quite small, but that is typical of a European hotel room. The staff was attentive and all spoke English. However, my fiance and I had a poor experience in the hotel's restaurant. The service was poor and the food was hardly worth the price, especially given all the bones in the fish.

This hotel is great. The one thing to be aware of (especially for non european travelers) is that the way they do the billing for the in room phones is a rip off - especially if you try to use a calling card. They bill you for each call completed, which for a calling card, will be every call where you put in your PIN number, regardless of whether the call reaches its endpoint.

ME Madrid is a very cool hotel in a wonderful old building right on Plaza Santa Ana, which could not be more central. Rooms are not huge, but done very well and the bathrooms are great. The staff was very helpful and friendly. I would suggest getting a room that overlooks the plaza. I have read a couple of reviews saying that the plaza is noisy til about 3am...I would respond by saying the windows have double glazing so you can shut any noise out, and also the noise is happy -- people laughing and an accordion playing or a great 4 piece jazz band playing old 30's classics. If you don't want to be up late, then don't go to Spain, where nobody eats until 10.30pm! The roof bar is very trendy (like the Sky Bar in L.A.) and the music pounds...so don't get a room above the 5th floor, because then you might be driven mad! Highly recommended.

ME Madrid was conveniently situated on a beautiful plaza within walking distance of museums and other attractions. Not to mention the beautiful views from the roof-top terrace! The staff was exceptional in their kindness and eagerness to welcome and help the foreign traveler! Thank you for a wonderful stay in Madrid!!!

The hotel is close to everything. The staff are very friendly and will try to help as much as they can. The building is art itself. The room is very clean, modern and high-tech. The shower is heaven-sent. We had free wireless internet -- rare in Europe. We had a concern when we heard the disco from our room. Amazingly, we slept good. Maybe because the bed is so comfortable. They have a nice breakfast buffet. You get one free breakfast if you join the hotel membership.

Location is just in perfect old center of madrid with museums and restaurants -and even train station - short walk away. Metro stations are also very close. Plaza St Anna is very lively place but there is no noise in the room.

This is a fun and central place for your visit to Madrid. It is near the old city, and all the major museums. The Rooftop Lounge is one of the hottest clubs in Madrid. and worth a visit -- and you have free entry as a hotel guest. Top quality service. I will come back here...

Great Room, Perfect Location, near bars restaurants, Plaza Mayor and Puerta del Sol.

I couldn't have made a better choice. The hotel is situated in a central location, just a few steps from Plaza del Sol. Good-sized clean room and beds are extremely comfortable. Definitely recommend this hotel to all that are planning to go to Madrid.

Hotel was very convenient to the historical sites and museums. Very friendly staff. Great Beds and service

This hotel is greatly located so you can do the whole city on foot. The service was perfect - at the reception they gave us great tips about restaurants and flamenco bar. The roof terrace also worth mentioning - it is a great place for partying or for a romantic drink. The view is great. The room we had was a tiny room but as you are not going to spent much time in the hotel as the city is just great you will not mind.

in the heart of the old city an excellent location for business & pleasure. The Jazz music in the outside foyer at 6 in the morning is novel. Could do with more English language TV channels

The location was perfect, along with the hotel staff and room. Everyone was extremely kind and helpful. I reserved a Superior room with a view of the plaza. We stayed on the third floor, and the noise of the late night party crowd was not heard at all. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean. Couldn't have made a better choice. I defintely recommend the ME Hotel.

This is a great hotel right on the plaza. Ten-minute walk to almost everything - museums, royal palace, sights. The rooms are very comfortable with nice beds and modern bathrooms. Our room was quiet being on the inside. The outside rooms have a view onto the plaza - though this could get noisy since the plaza is alive until 2:00am.

Great hotel for comfort and location. The view from teh terrace bar is spectacular. The service at the bar was a bit poor. Staff seemed interested only in serving Spanish tourists

Stayed at the ME, location is excellent. The hotel is very cool and has some great designs, all the staff are gorgeous and very helpful. The rooftop bar is a must visit to see how cool Madrideans go out. Enjoyed it a lot!

Great location, outstanding front desk and concierge support. highly recommended for any visitor to Madrid.

A good central hotel, rooms not large but well equipped. Very modern bathroom. Free internet in the basement buisness centre. Delightful roof terrace bar with magnificent views over the city. Only problem is the card you have to use for the lift - they become desensitised very easily, we wasted a lot of time trying to go up or down!

This is truly an outstanding hotel. The rooms, although small by any standard, are luxurious and well designed. If you intend to spend your days in your room, perhaps this is not the hotel for you. However, who does that in Madrid? Also, the important feature of any hotel room, the bathroom, was truly outstanding. While the room was small, the bathroom was larger and more luxurious than can possibly be expected. As to the location, it is very convenient to everywhere. All expected tourist destinations can be reached by walking just a few minutes. The only drawback, if there is one, is that the hotel is located smack in the middle of what may be the most touristy part of town - and a part of town that does not seem to roll up its sidewalks until dawn. In fact, the hotel has a spectacular roof-top bar that appears to be one of the most popular and posh lounges in town (ask the staff to explain to you how to use the hotel guest elevators to get there - the lines at the street-level entrance to the bar and it's designated elevator may otherwise dissuade you from checking it out). If you like that sort of thing - perfect. If you don't, the more affordable rooms, ironically, located in the back of the hotel, offer peace and quiet. Finally, as to service, the staff goes out of its way to assist you. For example, a simple question of where to get tickets to a bull-fight, lead to one of the staff spending quite a bit of time to actually assist in getting tickets on-line. Overall, a great experience. Particularly in light of the room cost - while specific rates are not supposed to be cited here, let's just say that the rate was astonishingly low!

Perfect location in Old Madrid. We were able to walk to all major sites and bus tours.Wonderful service. Wouldn't hesitate to stay there on our next visit.

Not knowing Madrid well, we had no idea what to expect from the ME. Once we arrived (about a 10 min walk from the SOL stations), we knew we had found a great deal. The hotel sits in Plaza de Santa Anna which is a great place to be. Outdoor cafes serve great food, there is live music, and you are 10-15 minute walks from many great downtown locations (Prado, Palace, etc). You can even stay in the hotel for a great restaurant. We did not experience the roof top bar, but I understand it is owned by Cindy Crawford's husband and is a great place when it warms up a bit more.

ME Madrid is a very contemporary, high-tech and cool hotel. If you like this style, you'll very much enjoy this hotel. The rooms are nicely furnished and decorated. It's centrally located and the Plaza Santa Ysabel is very lively at night (hence be a little careful with rooms facing on the Plaza - might get noisy). My only complaint would be that the rooms are so tiny you barely have room to move. Would be nice to have a little more space and a desk and chair so you can actually do work. The room I had was impossible for work - a huge minibar took up all the space that a desk and chair should have.

We had stayed at this hotel several years ago when it was NOT a Meliá, simply the Reina Victoria. We knew the location was superb -- on the Plaza Santa Ana (a happening square) very near (5-10 minutes' walk) the Plaza Mayor, the Puerta del Sol, and the Prado. This time the hotel had been completely remodeled (25 million euros) in a very modern style. We had a premium room for 3 nights. It was very clean and comfortable, not excessively big, but with a super comfortable king-size bed and a shower-only bath. We had no meals at the hotel so cannot report about that. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend it, especially for people 25-50.

I was particularly impressed by the customer service at the ME Madrid. The attention to detail and effort to make guests feel welcome was outstanding. The room was small but impeccable and the location was perfect for sightseeing. I highly recommend this hotel.

My wife and I stayed at this hotel March 09. We occupied a room on the second floor facing out on to the Plaza. Really high tech room - lighting; tv; sound system; jaccuzzi shower etc. Staff were courteous , friendly and very efficient. My only disappointment was when I ordered a drink in the bar ( last call )in the late evening I was charged double the price. This I felt was excessive and exploitive.

Excellent location, beautiful hotel, luxury rooms. Had to wait a long while as our rooms were not ready at the reccommended check- in time but apart from that it was overall good.

This Hotel is centrally located in the City and easy access to Museums, theaters and Restaurants. The only problem I found with this Hotels was that the room was a little small for American standards AN UPGRADE WOULD COST 50 euros. However the bathroom was large and so was the bed (king).Free internet access in the room and flat screen TV. The Hotel's personnel were professional and courteous at all times.

Superb location - walking distance to Prado, etc. Helpful friendly staff, as quiet a room as we have ever slept in.

This is a great hotel: perfect location in the centre of Madrid. Close to great bars, cafés and restaurants. Ten minutes walk from museums and park. Lovely buliding. Helpful staff. Spacious rooms. Great rooftop bar at night with view over Madrid.

Very modern rooms, very well services, within walking distance of sights & shops. Trendy bar but you pay the price

This a fab hotel in a great part of Madrid. Wonderful hotel. We had a Supreme room on 4th floor. Absolutely gorgeous. Great view of the square, huge deliciously comfortable bed and superb shower.

If location and a modern facility is more important than the size of the room then this is a great choice. Rooms facing an inner courtyard are quite soundproof with the window closed. Temperature control in the room may be pre-set because it still could not be adjusted after 2 efforts by maintenance. The tiny room with a huge bath is OK for 2 on vacation, but not for 3 or for space for working.

Great service. Everyone speaks outstanding English. Free internet service! Location is fantastic. Linens very soft.

The ME hotel offers a great, central location for a stay in Madrid. The hotel is located on a lively plaza with bars and restaurants and is walking distance to most of Madrid's main attractions. We stayed in the standard room, facing the inner courtyard. While the room is small, it is very clean, with an extremely comfortable bed (feather-bed mattress and down comforter). There is a flat screen TV and a comprehensive lighting system that can be controlled from panels next to the bed. The bathroom is large, with a shower offering multiple jets as well as a large overhead (detachable) showerhead. The hotel provides a multitude of Aveda bath products. The service at the hotel is excellent. There is turn-down service at night and the staff is very accommodating. They printed out train schedules for us (for a day trip to Toledo) and made dinner reservations. When our chosen restaurant was not available, they took the liberty of booking another great place and calling us on our cell phone to inform us of the fact.

The hotel is pretty new with (some) room overlooking the plaza san Ana. All the other rooms, on the contrary, are facing an ugly inside court (if you are lucky). My room was facing a wall at less that one meter distance and it was completely dark even in the middle of the day. TV and showers look new but were both not working. Poor quality

We had a wonderful two night stay at this hotel. It was very modern and clean. The staff were very helpful and friendly.The food delicious.The rooftop bar was great, good music and although a little on the expensive side great cocktails. We had a ball.

Great hotel, very stylish in the heart of everything. Walk out onto Santa Ana Plaza which is full of resturants and bars. The Penthouse bar is a bit over-rated but good to do a little people watching for an evening. Room was very clean but the hotel missed on 2 points - there was no plug socket near a mirror that we could find and on check out day the maids started knocking at 6am to clean the room and while our check out time was 12pm! A little annoying. Overall the stay was great and other than the over zealous maids on the last day, you couldn't really complain.

ME Hotel is located right on the pedestrian street connecting Prado with the Royal Palace. Location was great. While the rooms are not spacious, the decoration is very up-to-date, and the bathroom is especially nice with a spa shower. Breakfast is pricey for what you get.

I can't speak highly enough of my experience at ME Madrid (locals call it "La Melia"). Excellent Decor, adequate gym (if you go down there, there's complimentary bottled water and fruit, also), free computer access, wifi, english -speaking front desk, location, and the best scallops I've ever had at their restaurant. The room had a great bathroom, and a king size bed, but no real open space. That was fine with us, though, as we spent most of the trip in the City.

I travel frequently, always staying in 4-5 star hotels for business, but often opting for les expensive lodging when travelling for personal reasons. I had a few days to spend in Spain earlier this month, and decided on visiting friends in Madrid and Barcelona (I have been to both cities numerous times). I opted for ME Melia Madrid over another hotel located very closeby, as I had visited the property previously and found it to be wonderfully located. I opted for a slightly "better" room than I would normally book, and my expectations were far exceeded. I have a new "address" when I visit Madrid in the future.

The hotel is in a great location, and very modern, but the staff were less than helpful (they had no idea about museum open times, could not get a cab), and the room was less than clean (with a cockroach in one of our shoes ....)
