I had an excellent stay and experience at the Petit Palace.
It's not the most accessible hotel to find when driving solo in a strange city at night. For example, it could do with more signs showing the car park entrance.
But once I'd convinced myself I was in the right place, I found the staff were friendly and helpful and my check-in was quick.
The room was a great size, very large bed, and everything was spotlessly clean.
The towels were nice quality, and there were 2 cartons of water free in the room, with a kettle and various teas. Mini bar prices for soft drinks were reasonable. The water cartons were fully recyclable materials with plant-based bioplastics. That's a nice touch.
My only 2 minor issues were;-
The room temperature was too warm and changing the settings to reduce room temperature didn't seem to do anything. This is March, so this is a heating issue rather than an air conditioning/ summer temperature problem.
And not having some instant coffee available in the room was disappointing in the morning.
Breakfast was good, the staff helpful, and the general manager introduced himself which again is a nice personable touch.
I was also able to walk a very short distance to get dinner at a local bar/restaurant.
The cost of my stay was similarly priced compared to the other city hotels I considered, and given the good standard and pleasant experience, I would say it was good value.
If I have to return to Madrid I would happily stay here again.
