Lovely hotel in the city center, yet quiet because it’s off a side street. Excellent service, friendly hotel staff. Room was comfortable and well appointed. Great location with easy access to Gran Via shopping and restaurants. The only minor downside: the gym could be larger with more equipment.

Overall: Beautiful hotel super close to the Opera, Palace and Gran Via shopping district, all within a 5-min walk. Staff was extremely courteous, warm, and on more than one occasion went out of their way to make it easy for us. A grade for the staff!! Family room: We got the Family Room with 2 beds since we were traveling with the kids. It was very small and was on the top floor with those slanted ceilings. Both my wife and I hit our heads multiple times during our stay, it is very hard to walk around the room with the two beds and not hit your head!! Moreover, the slanted ceiling makes the room feel very claustrophobic. I wouldn’t rent it unless you’re shorter than 5 feet! Great breakfast in the mornings, with a variety of choices in the made-to-order menu along with a neat buffet spread. We practically ate only 2 meals a day during our 3-day stay — a full breakfast and an early dinner. Again, loved our stay because of location, staff, breakfast etc. Would avoid the Family Room at all costs, go for a larger room and make sure it doesn’t have a slanted ceiling (not on the top floor).

We recently had the pleasure of staying at Palacio de los Duques Gran Meliá hotel and I can't say enough good things about my experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff greeted us with warm smiles and genuine hospitality, making us feel right at home. The rooms were impeccably clean and beautifully decorated, offering a perfect blend of comfort and style. One of the highlights of our stay was the dining experience at restaurant Jardín de los Duques. The food was absolutely delicious, showcasing local flavors and creative dishes. The breakfast buffet was a standout, with a wide variety of options to suit all tastes. The location of the hotel was also ideal, situated close to major attractions and public transport, making it easy to explore the area. I appreciated the thoughtful recommendations from the concierge, which helped us discover hidden gems nearby. Overall, Palacio De Los Duques Gran Meliá Hotel exceeded ours expectations in every way. My husband and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable stay, and we can't wait to return on my next trip!

Wonderful stay in excellent location in Madrid

The location of the hotel is excellent, located near the palace and the main shopping and entertainment districts. The area is located with so many choices of restaurants with different choices of food. The staff of the hotel is friendly, helpful, and eager to set up restaurant recommendations and reservations. They get you tickets to shows and movies. The rooms are clean, comfortable with lots of water and occasional treats. My only disappointment was trying to register for and be accepted for the free use of the audi car. For some reason i wasn't accepted and able to use this feature that the hotel e-mailed us about... Otherwise, this is an excellent choice for a comfortable, problem-free stay in beautiful Madrid. I want to note that "Jose" at the front desk was very helpful with a unique situation we had and we appreciated his help very much. We will absolutely return to this hotel.
