Hotel Regina

Quick pitstop in Madrid, and this hotel did the trick.
The entire design from the lobby to the rooms is slick and trendy.
Location is excellent. Right on a Main Street and right next to a metro station. There were plenty of shops and restaurants to go to in the area, and since it was the weekend the streets were super alive with people walking around.
In the room LED lights pop out of the wall. The room was spacious and modern. Nice wood floors, white linen and white walls with a grey accent wall. Big body pillows but two twin beds pushed together to make a queen… seems to be the standard in Spain. Bathroom was super comfortable — shower had stones as the floor.
We had a room facing the street and it was very loud at times. Cars passing… ambulances…people screaming? Also the noises in the hallway were heard quite loud. But, it all calmed down at a reasonable hour, and I was so tired I knocked out.
Nice restaurant in lobby, but we didn’t get to try it. Super nice staff at the front desk made check in and out super easy.

Pros: Nice multi-​lingual staff, central location, nice rooms, clean, offers a deal for the in-​house restaurant and breakfast buffet (50% off) upon arrival, and it’s a good deal for what you get.
Cons: Mattresses aren’t the best, not exactly sound proof rooms, lack of cabs, spotty wi-​fi.
Okay, under my «Cons», there wasn’t a lack of cabs in the area, but…
Maybe it’s my spoiled American nature, but I have never been to a hotel who didn’t hail a cab for patrons who are departing for the airport. Wait. It’s not my spoiled American nature because every hotel I’ve been in Europe, Asia, and North America has done so! We didn’t lack for cabs, but this was just bizarre. Heck, the last Madrid hotel I was in not only got a cab for my family, but they bellman gave the cab the instructions in English (I speak Spanish, so I know there was no funny dealings going on :-p).
Apart from the cab issue at the end of our trip, the staff here was friendly and accommodating.
All-​in-​all, this is a good value hotel and worth a try, but next time I’m in Madrid, I’ll probably try somewhere else.

This was a great place to stay! The staff was friendly and the location was PERFECT! Walking distance from main plazas and great sites made staying at Hotel Regina wonderfully convenient. A majority of the staff knew both Spanish and English. Additionally, I felt very safe staying here since the main doors locked at night and reception was open all night monitoring the hotel.
La ubicación esta perfecto porque esta cerca de muchas plazas. También la gente era simpático y útil. El personal sabe español y inglés. También, me sentí muy segura porque la puerta principal cerrado a noche y la zona de recepción estaba abierto todo del noche.

This hotel’s location is walking distance to most if not all sightseeing attractions. Best way to arrive from the airport is to take the shuttle bus, the bus stop is walking distance to the hotel.
Their customer service is amazing, they are very accommodating, and courteous. I had to switch rooms, so they upgraded me to a nicer suite and provided me with free breakfast at their buffet restaurant. The beds are awesome in the renovated suites. I would stay here again.

Pro:
1. Location! From Hotel Regina you can reach nearly every tourist attractions by feet, for example Prado Museum, Porta del Sol, Plaza Mayor or the Royal Palace.
2. Delicious Breakfast Buffet. Whatever you like they have it. Spanish, English or continental breakfast, everything is available
3. Newly renovated rooms
Why only one star then?
Here are the cons:
1. Renovated rooms means that renovation is still ongoing. Which means if you want to relax after a full day of sightseeing you can get into problems when next door jackhammer or drills are used until early in the evening.
2. WiFi connection is really poor. It worked on Tuesday and Wednesday but broke down the rest of the week on the 4^th floor. I told the management, nothing happened. It was not the problem of my smartphone as I went downstairs in the lobby at least I got some kind of poor WiFi connection.
3. It seems as the Hotel is used by US students, for them it is the first trip without mommy and daddy in a country allowing alcohol consumption before the age of 21, this results in loud discussions on the floor about the night event planning staring at 22hrs until midnight, screaming and banging doors. And finally in the early morning in a desperate attempt to wake these drunken guys up by hammering against their doors and shouting. If I want to stay at a youth hostel I would have booked one.

Location, location, location! This place is perfectly centered in the Puerta Del Sol neighborhood, and conveniently located by the Sevilla and Puerta Del Sol Metro stations, which makes going to/​from Barajas Airport very easy and convenient.
The hotel itself is pretty modern in terms with updated bathrooms and guest rooms, which is very nice. From the outside, the hallways and the lobby, the hotel looks kind of old, so I am glad at least the rooms/​bathrooms are fairly new! The bathroom includes a standard toilet and for those who like to wash their butts, a bidet! I personally didn’t use the bidet.
The hotel also offers free wifi, which was pretty spotty from my room. The wifi signal is stronger, as you might expect, I’m the lobby area… Which can get pretty filled with visitors on their iPhones and iPads. With spotty Internet it definitely made looking things up to eat and do a bit harder than usual… That and Facebook and Instagram was hard to use without a strong wifi signal!
There also aren’t ice machines in the hotel, so if you want to get ice you’ll have to ask for a bolsa de hielo from the restaurant. If the restaurant is closed, a member of the front desk can help you grab a bag.
The front desk are very friendly and helpful. I had a RyanAir flight to catch, and because I didn’t print my boarding pass before I travelled abroad, I needed to print it out so that I wouldn’t be charged an arm and a leg for printing my boarding pass at the airport. The front desk helped me out and printed the passes for me, which was great.
Overall, I was pleased with Hotel Regina even with the minor annoyance of spotty Internet. The hotel offers a reasonably priced accommodation with great staff and a great location!

this hotel is average priced and well worth the money. very close to everything. service is great. the rooms and bathrooms are also nice. staff are friendly. will stay here again.

Estuve en Navidad de 2.012 en este hotel y debo decir varias cosas. 1) Ya había estado previamente en este hotel y esta vez me ha tocado en el ala que no está reformada. Esto se debería advertir a la hora de reservar, porque las habitaciones son antiguas y no es lo mismo. Por el mismo precio, me tuve que contentar con una habitación normalita, y sin nada reseñable que destacar. La parte arreglada está mucho mejor acondicionada y con habitaciones más grandes, mejor decorado y con los muebles más actuales. 2) Una cosa que me disgustó mucho fue que a la llegada, el Botones de recepción te coge las maletas pese a insistir que prefería llevarla yo mismo, con lo que casi te obliga a darle al hombre algo por llevarte las maletas a la habitación. Eso en una persona mayor puedo entender que se preste ese servicio, pero yo soy joven y no me gustan que me coarten, por así decirlo. Creo que es un error tremendo del hotel el que el Botones se extralimite y te coja las maletas pese a que se le dijo no, antes no me había pasado. 3) Las limpiadoras se pasan desde muy temprano por la mañana haciendo ruido, incluso a la hora de la siesta nos fue imposible conciliar el sueño. 4) Lo bueno es que hay wifi en todo el edificio, y gratis, lo que le da un plus al hotel, así como su localización céntrica junto a la Puerta del Sol.

I actually stayed at another hotel for my 2 nights in Madrid which was alright, but the location wasn’t nearly as good as Hotel Regina.
Unfortunately due to bad travel luck, I ended up having to stay in Madrid for an extra night by myself after I had already checked out of my other hotel. I booked at Hotel Regina online about an hour before I checked in and got an amazing deal online and decided that since it was my last night of vacation and I was already stressed about having to stay for an extra night, I decided to pay a bit extra and spring for a room with a private balcony. It wasn’t much more expensive at all, but it was TOTALLY worth it.
I only stayed there for one night, but the room was so clean and very large when I walked in, and the bed was so huge, it probably could have fit 3 people.
The location was amazing, right off of the main street and walking distance to the Prado as well. It is also close enough to several bars and clubs if you are interested in going out. The location was amazing, and very safe seeing as how I was staying there by myself. Initially I was a little hesitant to go out and wander around by myself, but there were several people walking all around the streets, and always felt so safe.
The room was very quite, so I slept like a baby, and in the morning, I was able to enjoy an amazing breakfast on my huge private balcony, and it just made the whole thing feel like such a classy, luxury experience.
I will absolutely be staying at Hotel Regina when I return back to Madrid!

My memory isn’t always the best, but I’m pretty darn sure this is the same place I stayed at the last time I was in Madrid — about 14 years ago. Unless there’s another schwanky hotel right next door (I don’t think there is), it is the same place. I loved it last time I went and I loved it this time. I can’t emphasize enough how close to everything this hotel is. It’s only blocks from Plaza del Sol which more or less connects you with outlets to various parts of the city — all of which are close.
Our room was spotless and modern. There’s not a thing I could say against it. There was no view to speak of, we were somewhere near the back of the building, but frankly, we were happy with that. The hotel is situated on a main street that may (or may not) have been noisy overnight. Our room was quiet and that suited us just fine.
The staff was friendly, accommodating and helpful. When we needed dinner reservations, they handled that for us. Just nice.
We did have dinner at the restaurant and while it was good, we didn’t love it. It was a bit of money to spend on something we didn’t like that much. I felt like they were too concerned with how the food looked than how it might have tasted.
Otherwise, as a hotel alone, I would HIGHLY recommend.

Room 211 literally had guys on scaffolding doing work right in the window!

Es nuestro hotel preferido en Madrid, desde el año 2000, nos hospedamos en él, siempre que vamos a la capital.

Contemporary, clean and spacious room. Friendly staff. Great location. Reasonable price. That’s all you need to know right?

Very central location to stay at. One thing to note is the power of the a/​c — not too strong.

Modern hotel in the Alcala area. Friendly hotel staff. Nice, comfortable and clean rooms. Excellent hotel location, close to most tourist attractions (walking distance from Plaza Mayor), fine restaurants, shops, and bars.
The view from my room is unbelievable, see for yourself… www.yelp.com/biz_photos/jMiijC5­IgbbAslQm-cyRwA?select=BYpWjKd4hsaWdY-Jtiqb_Q

I was very impressed! We stayed here 3 nights to start off our 2 week tour of Spain trip. The room was beautiful. Very comfortable bed. And they provided shampoo, conditioner, lotion, and soap!!! (never thought I would be impressed by a hotel providing basic toiletries, but after staying in the rest of our hotels on the trip, umm, looking back I am impressed)
They gave us a room with a WONDERFUL terrace! Totally cool to have an extra space to enjoy the nice weather after a long day of sight seeing. Perfect location! Actually could not have been in a better location. Got to and from the airport/​train station from the Seville and Sol metro stops. So easy breezy.
Stop researching, just stay here.

This hotel was surprisingly good. Located slap bang in the centre of Madrid, near Puerto del Sol, I was expecting a tourist dive.
But it was OK, my room was nice and well appointed plus EUR75 a night a complete bargain. Unfortunately it was pretty near the lift so I got woken up by late night revellers quite often each night.
Wifi was free (although was too slow to use on the second day) plus it works in the very nice juice bar next door.
So probably 4 stars really, but because of the nocturnal disturbance I took away a star. However at this price I would stay again

Very nice hotel. It can’t be more conveniently located. It’s about 2 to 3 blocks from the center of Madrid (La puerta del Sol). You can walk to las Cibeles, El Prado, etc. There are many good restaurants in the area. At night, the street is filled with people (Spaniards like to walk in the evening). So, if you like to people watch, this is the place to be. We had an inside room and there was no noise from the street. This is a 3 star hotel by European standards, so it doesn’t have a gym or a pool. However, honestly, I don’t look for these things when I’m traveling. The hotel is clean and has very nice décor. The staff is super friendly and is eager to please. At night, they light candles in the lobby, which gives the place a very nice ambiance. There is a restaurant downstairs, but we didn’t try it. Two doors down there is a very nice café which serves, besides coffee, all types of sandwiches. The hotel offers a huge complimentary breakfast (at least it was included in our package). I loved this place. I would definitely stay there and I recommend it to my friends.

This was our first hotel (we stayed at 4 places in Spain, some hotels, some not, before all was said and done) and all I can remember about it was that I wasn’t upset. Knowing that I’m a jappy clean freak (I always check for bedbugs before I’ll sit on the bed, and give the bathroom a once over before I’ll commit to staying put), it must have been a nice enough place to stay, I don’t remember having any complaints at all. Also, it is centrally located, (really close to Puerta Sol and walking distance from everything I wanted to see) even more so than the other place we stayed in in Madrid, which was substantially hipper. Is it the 4 seasons? No, but it’ll do the trick.

A solid 3 star hotel. The reception folks are friendly and helpful. When checking out today, the woman at reception offered to watch my luggage, which was generous. My room was cleaned every day, meticulously. The laundry service was done the same day, but at 60 Euro for a modest amount of clothing. My only complaint is that the shower has stones set in the floor, which make for wanting to take short showers. The hotel is at an excellent location relative to the Prado, the Puerta del Sol, and many restaurants. The Casino de Madrid is two doors down. Last note: you can hear people talking on the telephone through the walls. That said, the hotel is relatively tranquil. I’d stay again.

Hotel de tres estrellas y con una ubicación estupenda ya que está situado en el centro de Madrid.
El personal es atento y amable, son rápidos y tienen todo muy limpio.
La decoración muy bonita y original, tiene algo de toques árabes, lo cual lo hacen distintos a los demás.
Las habitaciones son amplias pero con necesidad de alguna reforma.
El precio está sobre los 120 – 130 euros más o menos.
