ME Madrid Reina Victoria

When you first check in, there is this cheap perfume smell in the room that gives you headache. Had to open a window a long time to get rid of it. There is loud noises till very late into the night of dancing club in the same building. Def a young people’s place to stay. I dont see myself coming back and stay here again!

Elegant boutique hotel ideally located in the old Madrid. Some rooms are smaller than others. Upgraded to a Mode ctg, the Viber and Aura are really small even by European standard. Breakfast is incredible with lots of choice, staff was very helpful with all demands. If you want to be close to the theaters, enjoy tapas bars, have a drink on Madrid’s unique roof top … this is your hotel.

Este hotel tiene un restaurante digno de entrar, Muy bonito y con mucha atencion. Lo Malo que Siempre Esta lleno y Es algo caro ya que las raciones no son nada grandes.
cigalas a la plancha Es todo un manjar y la sangria Esta buenisima.

Certainement le meilleur Resto aux alentours de la place del sol. Plus précisément c’est le Resto de l’hôtel ME sur la place Santa Ana. Un incontournable pour ceux qui aiment la bonne bouffe et un cadre moderne et louange. Cuisine et service de standing.

Recomiendo totalmente el Restaurante del Hotel, la ubicación buenísima, la comida de chuparse los dedos, ¡exquisito! Fui con mis compañeros de Servify, y compartimos varios platos: albondigas con salsa de foie y trufa, ensalada de espinacas con calabacín, queso y piñones, cazón en tempura, y un arroz negro de calamares y alcachofas con alioli «negro». El pan de lujo también especiado con pimentón y de calidad. El servicio fue perfecto y el precio correcto creo que salio por unos 30 euros por cabeza, con vino. ¡Volveré!!

We went to this hotel 2 years ago while we were in Madrid. My husband and I loved this hotel. It’s is well situated in the city. It’s walking distance to a lot of main tourist areas. Hotel has a great rooftop view. Definitely try to make it to the rooftop for sunset. It also becomes a night club at night. If I ever go back to Madrid I would definitely go to this place again.

Stayed here during our honeymoon in Spain. Perfect location near Puerta Del Sol and Plaza Mayor. Front desk staff is very accommodating and assisted us with any problems we had. For those scared to carry their passport around to banks for currency exchange, the front desk can change currency for you (though $ 200 is their max). Hotel is very upscale and chic. Rooms are comfortable and cozy. Only gripe was the very tiny elevators which some did not work during our stay. Nonetheless, I would still recommend this hotel to guests.

Beautiful hotel and excellent location.
Breakfast was incredible and I highly recommend the rooftop bar.
If you’re used to London prices for cocktails, you’ll be surprised when you basically get a fish bowl for the price of a shot!
Rooms are incredibly comfortable and the bathrooms are modern and clean. Extra points for the shower with full body sprays!
Also, a nice little feature are the «sexy lights» in the rooms. It just makes everything pink and pretty! Great to put on after a night out where you want to relax but normal lights are just a bit too bright.
Overall I had an amazing time!

Nos alojamos una noche en este hotel.
Fue un regalo que nos hicieron unos buenos amigos que ahora viven en Madrid. No sabemos cual fue el coste de la estancia. Pero lo que si puedo decir es que es un hotel muy bonito. Las habitaciones están completamente equipadas con todo tipo de detalles. Albornoces, zapatillas, todo tipo de amenities, equipo HI-​FI, pantalla plana incrustada en pared, iluminación inteligente, mueble bar espectacular, kits de pago: erótico, resaca, vela aromática, perfume… Un sinfín de detalles para hacer más agradable la estancia.
El hotel está perfectamente ubicado en la Plaza Santa Ana a escasos 5 minutos de la puerta del Sol andando. Así que su ubicación es perfecta.
Quedamos encantados y seguramente alguna vez repetiremos. El personal de recepción, aunque fue en todo momento correcto, me pareció tanto en el cheack-​in como en el cheack-​out distante. No sabría muy bien como definirlo, pero no fueron próximos, trato bastante frío e impersonal.
Ah! Los ascensores lentos, cuesta mucho que abran la puerta, peró la cierran muy rapidamente y si te descuidas te dan un buen golpe.

Hemos llegado aquí invitados por unos amigos, y la verdad es que el hotel es una pasada! Aunque sólo podemos valorar la habitación porque con el ajetreo del finde no nos ha dado tiempo a mucho más…
Eso sí, aunque era la habitación normal, todo lujo de detalles: kit sexy, kit resaca, gominolas, mini bar completísimo. Habitación muy chula y ducha pero con hidromasaje! La cama cómoda y con hilo musical!
Satisfechos nos vamos de nuestra corta estancia!
5 estrellas cuando los ascensores sean un poco más ‘rápidos’ y no te ataquen al entrar y salir! (Se cierran las puertas al segundo, aunque tarden mil años en abrirse, se cierran en milisegundos, ¿contradictorio, verdad?)

Después de visitar varios sitios decidimos celebrar nuestra boda, que se celebraría en Junio del 2014, en la terraza del hotel ME Madrid, ya que las vistas y el prestigio del hotel nos hacia pensar que el hotel y sus servicio iba a estar a la altura del evento. Nada mas lejos de la realidad. Cuando ya decidimos celebrar el evento allí, marzo del 2013, nos presionaron para realizar la reserva del espacio en una fecha que no habíamos pensado en un principio con la excusa de falta de disponibilidad en el hotel. Posteriormente, tuvimos que ir 5 veces a hablar con 5 personas diferentes para explicarles las mismas cosas que ya habíamos explicado y acordado en el momento de la reserva meses antes (catering, bebidas, horarios, decoración,…) hasta cerrar finalmente todos los detalles 1 año antes del enlace. En noviembre, 6 meses antes del enlace, nos llaman del hotel y nos piden que vayamos a hablar con ellos. Nuestra sorpresa al llegar es ver que el espacio que habíamos reservado había sido modificado completamente, sin parecerse al que habíamos contratado, así como todas las condiciones contratadas tiempo atrás. Después de comentarles que todo lo contratado había sido cambiado y que todo había sido organizado en torno a la fecha y condiciones del hotel, por lo que no podíamos cambiar nada a menos de 6 meses del enlace, su oferta fue un espacio y unas condiciones mucho mas inferiores a lo que habíamos contratado sin ningún tipo de compensación o rescindir el contrato, por lo que tendríamos que empezar de nuevo en la organización del enlace. El trato en el hotel ha sido pésimo, sin ofrecer facilidades ni ayudas a sus clientes, aprovechándose de un prestigio que ya no tienen, poniendo trabas constantemente y una atención al cliente que es horrible, sin educación, con malas maneras y falta de trato al cliente, presionándonos hasta que finalmente, a menos de 6 meses del evento, decidimos cancelar la reserva. Sin duda, no recomendaría a nadie que vaya al hotel. Servicio digno del peor de las pensiones.

Super small rooms. Friendly staff. Beautiful hotel exterior and rooftop bar.
Rooms suck. That’s the main thing. They are small.
Good luck sleeping. You are in a hotel with a rooftop bar with a continuous rave.
On the other side you get all the traffic of the tourists and transients (a lot of theses here).
I would not recommend this place due to size, noise, rate and all the transients.

Great hotel. We stayed one night in Madrid and I really wish we had a couple more nights, especially at this hotel. The location was great, views were beautiful and the staff/​rooms were all lovely. We had no issues with the rooms (yes, small, but it’s Europe) and the staff were all very accommodating. When I go back to Madrid, I will definitely be staying here.

Awesome hotel for hip, fun loving travelers. This was the best hotel we stayed at during our two week tour of Spain.
Location, location, location. It’s situated right in the middle of everything, and in a great neighborhood for nightlife and dinning.
The room are a little small, but very well furnished.
The showers with the full-​body sprays ROCK!!! Particularly after a full day of walking around and sightseeing, the showers will refresh like you wouldn’t believe.
After a shower and a little freshening-​up go to the roof top bar for amazing sun set views of the entire city.
Hotel staff are friendly and helpful as well.

We stayed here during our time in Madrid. The rooms were nice and the hotel had a swanky feel to it.
I love how centrally located the hotel was – walking distance to lots of shops and eateries. The wireless was inclusive and opt in for the breakfast… totally worth it!
My only complaint was that it got really noisy in the evenings (we were on the 3^rd floor facing the square) and the showers did not really drain very well — In both of the rooms we had. The plumbing smelled weird when you first walk into the room.
Other than that I would recommend it for a stay.

Wir hatten das Vergnügen während eines Businesstrips auf der Dachterrasse die Bar und die Aussicht zu genießen. Absolut empfehlenswert.

Great location. Amazing roof top bar overlooking the city. The rooms are modern and comfortable.

Fancy spending 15 quid on a cocktail, in a city where the average price of wine is € 3, while looking at a nice view? If you said yes, then visit the rooftop bar at the ME Madrid. The view is lovely, there are loads of seats for the summer, however it’s massively pricey and you feel a bit like you’re in a bar in Miami. I also got hit on by a sleazy married man, but you may not experience that.

After walking throughout Madrid, I can say without a doubt that this hotel is in the best location for the 35 and under set.
On the corner of the Plaza de Santa Ana, there are literally hundreds of bars, eateries, clubs right outside. We never took a taxi anywhere and anything else worth seeing in Madrid was a comfortable walk away.
The Mercado de San Miguel and Plaza Mayor are within 6 – 7 minutes – this is where you can also catch a hop on/​hop off bus (25 Euros for 2 days).
Like all W’s, the interior was sleek, modern and surprisingly warm. We opted for a superior room overlooking the plaza. If you’re a light sleeper, you might want to think twice. Locals begin their nights at around 10PM and regularly go hard to 3−4AM, 7 days a week. The plaza has multiple outdoor cafes, restaurants and street performers so it gets pretty lively. Aided by an iPhone sound machine app, we slept peacefully.
The room was spacious with tall ceilings, smart storage niches, a full wet bar with martini glasses and desk outlets for all your gadgets.
Outside of the annoying $ 20 charge for slowish internet, service was warm and the staff was as easy on the eyes as the beautiful rooftop bar.

Madrid, I love you! This place is just awesome, a little overly modern for my taste, but who cares. Located in the middle of a square which our room overlooked. You will have a problem trying to get to bed early or taking a mid-​day nap as it is always loud out there. i loved waking up and looking down into the square, it was great.
The hotel was nice and well maintained, fitness center was really small but then again how much equipment do you need on vacation?
Morning breakfast buffet was nice and full of choices.
This hotel is really centrally located, i would go back in a heartbeat…

This review is for the bar only.
I walked into the lobby looking for «The Roof» (
) but found myself at a chill bar with a great view of the plaza. The service was good, the drinks were better and the music was great.

Desde que leí ‘Todo lo que podríamos haber sido tú y yo si no fuéramos tú y yo’ de Albert Espinosa, miro a la Plaza de Santa Ana con otros ojos. No es que en la novela se den muchas claves sobre la plaza, o que se explique nada al respecto, pero lo que para mí antes no era más que un punto de atracción de turistas sin fin, ahora no es más que una bulliciosa plaza de incalculable belleza. Me gusta plantarme en el centro y pensar cuál de todas esas ventanas era la casa del protagonista.
Encallado en esa plaza está este blanquísimo hotel, que hasta hace unos cuantos años, había conocido tiempos mejores. Tiempos en los que los toreros se alojaban aquí por tradición, y en los que esto no era más que un lujosísimo hotel al alcance de unos pocos. Después, fue cayendo un poco en picado, hasta que comenzaron a hacer aparición los rumores: que si iba a ser un Hard Rock Hotel, que si lo había comprado tal o cual…
Al final lo compró Meliá, y se dispuso a reformarlo completamente para abrir un boutique hotel de esos en los que el diseño lo es todo. El edificio es impresionante, eso ya lo tenían. El interior, no tanto: al final da un poco de pereza todo ese ambiente à la Philippe Starck. Ni siquiera los cuatro toros del lobby hacen que no pienses que es tan impersonal, que podrías estar en cualquier ciudad de Europa.
Lo que sí recomiendo es su terraza. Subir cuesta un ojo de la cara, pero las vistas de Madrid son impresionantes. Aunque no nos vamos a engañar: a mí el tipo de público que va a estos sitios me da un poco de pereza, y más aún la música que tienden a poner.

I stayed here for 2 nights during my first trip to Madrid in March, 2012. The hotel is nicely located on an active square in front with lots of restaurants and bars. The location is within walking distance to all the major sights in Madrid.
My room was on the 5^th floor and had a private terrace in the front. It was a nice feature although the lack of any outdoor furniture took away from its usefulness. In addition the outdoor space impacted the size of the room, making it even smaller. Like many reviews, I agree that the rooms are small — but are quite nice and the bathroom is spacious with a very nice shower. One of the larger items in the room is the minibar, which while having a nice selection of products, really takes up a lot of space in the room. Didn’t care much for the size of the room and didn’t spend much time there.
I did go up to the rooftop bar which has a nice view of the surrounding area. It was still too early in the season and a bit cold so there was no seating outside and didn’t end up staying long. I also stopped by the bar on the ground floor one evening which was lively has an extensive bar and drink menu. I would recommend that instead of spending the 25 EUR for the breakfast buffet, which is nice enough with lots of options, to go out to one of the cafes in the neighborhood.
Overall, I would be glad to return to ME Madrid if future travels bring me back.

Me! Me! Me! Sounds like the perfection vacation mantra.
Although my group didn’t stay at the Me, an in-​the-​know local had recommended it to us as a must go for great nightlife, so go we did!
It’s actually a bit of a multi-​layer effect here with social spaces being found in the lobby lounge, the bar at the restaurant Me, the indoor rooftop bar and, of course, Me’s biggest evening attraction, the large, glamorous rooftop terrace. While each space is unique and full of nighttime flavor in its own right, it’s the terrace that really is the showstopper and the only reason to pop over here for late night libations.
Expect panoramic views of Madrid /​/​beautiful/​/​, coupled with (surprisingly) many Spanish locals /​/​equally as beautiful/​/​, and a mix of young, but wealthy (and mostly European) tourists /​/​not always as beautiful/​/​.
Drinks are expensive, to be expected, and the clientele are just as dressed up and eager to be seen as are most patrons at most foofy hotel bars. Prepare accordingly.
Come for one, checkout the view and then check it off your list.
A great proximity to the heavily trafficked Plaza de Santa Ana also makes it an ideal candidate spot to start off — or end — an evening with an diverse mix of options at hand.

Did not get to stay here, as we were staying a few blocks away, however, made several visits to the bar and the food and service was great.
Tapas menu that offers something more than anchovies, sardines and smelt.
Good drinks, good food, good time, great atmosphere!

I just got back from Madrid. By far the best hotel in Madrid, it is not 5 stars but it is definately hip and trendy. The rooftop terrace was incredible and a place frequented by many locals. You have to try the black mojito, if you go.
I took away a star because of the restaurant inside the hotel. I ordered a Kobe Burger at 24 euros, and it was disgusting. My girlfriend ordered a chicken salad and had the same issue. The food at the restaurant was horrible. In all fairness, they did try and make up for it. After informing the waitress that I was not happy with the burger, she offered me anything on the menu for free but I declined. Then the chef who made the burger came to our table and did the same, but at that point I lost my appetite.
I was able to reserve a room with a view of the plaza, and its definately the way to go. Is it noisy at night? Maybe, but it didnt bother me much and I slept like a baby. Decent gym downstairs but great service. Anytime I called down and had an issue (like the remote) they immediately wanted to send someone up and fix it. And that’s how my stay went. Good service, great atmosphere, and if I ever find myself in Madrid I will be sure to stay there again.

I cannot say enough about our experience at ME Madrid.
It’s modern and trendy (like the W brand) however, the service was better than any W that I have been to.
When I arrived, I was fortunate to have been checked in by Pedro.
He explained everything we needed to know about the property.
He took us up to our room, described everything in detail and parked our car. In future exchanges, he remembered my name and was an excellent conversationalist. He also gave us a great recommendation on where to find the classic Paella dish. What a delight he is!
Our room overlooked the Plaza, which I highly recommend upgrading to.
There are panoramic views of the plaza and cafes.
Most times, when you have a breakfast included in the cost, it’s a light continental with 1 semi-​warm dish. This was a full, well done breakfast with Spanish items along with American items. The service was wonderful!
I am looking forward to returning to Madrid so I can experience ME Madrid!

I knew of this hotel because I have stayed in the ME in Cabo San Lucas Mexico, so I generally knew what I would be getting — modern, trendy, clean, good amenities, party atmosphere. I pretty much got what I expected but it is not quite up to the standard of the ME in Cabo.
I stayed here in the end of May. This hotel is in the perfect location. I can’t say enough about the location. It is right on Santa Ana square which has 6 or 7 different restaurants all with outdoor seating in the square. You could pick any one and just sit there and have a great afternoon (although I would recommend going on a weekend if you like action… the crowd on Monday was about ¼ of the size as Saturday/​Sunday).
Weather was perfect so we were very excited to have some drinks on the rooftop patio («The Penthouse») that we had heard so much about. Unfortunately on the Saturday it was closed for an event. So we went on Sunday and it was a great patio with a great view, but the bartenders were painfully slow, and oddly, there was no seating. It’s just a rooftop deck. I guess I just wasn’t expecting to have to stand and drink, and was expecting table service and maybe a few snacks which is usually the norm for trendy hotels. As I said, it’s all about expectations and I was just not expecting to have to stand and order from the bar. That being said, still had a good time and the other patrons were friendly and fun.
The standard room is very small. I went with a friend and you get two single beds and there is no chance a cot could fit in there (so don’t try to squeeze 3 people in to a room). They are extremely comfortable and not bad at all, but usually in a hotel I expect two double or queen beds. The bathroom was very big and modern and the shower was huge and had strong water pressure. If you are a girl and plan on styling your hair in front of a mirror, you may want to bring a chord extender. There is no plug anywhere close to the mirror.
All in all I had a great stay and there were no real problems, and it’s a gorgeous hotel. I was just thrown off slightly by the room/​bed size and the lack of seating on the rooftop. Would definitely stay there again if I go to Madrid.

Este emblemático hotel madrileño siempre se llamó Reina Victoria y era el favorito de los toreros, cuando venían a torear a la Plaza de las Ventas. Hace unos años lo compró Meliá y lo remodeló para convertirlo en su buque insignia en Madrid, el primero bajo el rótulo Me que pretende englobar lo más moderno de la principal cadena hotelera española. La restauración se encargó de hacer brillar más aún este bello edificio, tan característico de Madrid y de su época. Siempre me encantó su enigmático torreón y ahora se puede disfrutar de él desde la azotea, convertida en terraza mirador. Todo el lujo y la vanguardia, pasado, presente y futuro reunidos en este hermoso hotel en pleno centro de Madrid. Y en el mejor sitio para disfrutar de su famosa noche: en la Plaza de Santa Ana.

Meliá ha triunfado con ME. Los hoteles ME son una «nueva» apuesta de este grupo hotelero, y creo que el proyecto les salió redondo. Hoteles de alta calidad, vanguardistas, y deslumbrantes. ME no es sólo un hotel, es una forma alternativa de entender el alojamiento.
El edificio, antiguo Hotel Reina Victoria, lujoso y un poco anticuado, ha sido transformado en un espacio radicalmente distinto: el exterior, elegante y clásico, se complementa a la perfección con su interior, no menos elegante, pero con una decoración muy moderna y un ambiente sofisticado a la par que divertido. Como alojamiento de lujo que es, el precio acompaña, no es asequible para todos los bolsillos o al menos no para largas estancias, porque hay mucha gente que va a disfrutar de una noche especial, pero sólo una, no sé si el sueldo da para más.
Una de las mejores cosas de ME, en Barcelona también, es el personal, un equipo joven pero experimentado que cuida minuciosamente cada detalle para que tu estancia sea lo que esperabas y mucho más. Así que ya sabéis, para ocasiones especiales, este es un lugar de lo más especial. Y sin duda, aunque no os alojéis allí, subir al Penthouse, su terraza lounge, es un placer del que todo el mundo puede disfrutar y que no os deberíais perder.

Wir waren an Heiligabend zu Gast und können nur eins sagen: «Spitzenmässig!»
Im Menue von 99EUR mit 6 Gängen waren alle Getränke inklusive einer halben Flasche Moet inbegriffen.
Aufmerksamer Service, schönes Ambiente mit offener Küche. Jederzeit wieder.

Sehr schönes, modern ausgestattetes Hotel mitten im Zentrum von Madrid. Freundliche, hilfsbereite Rezeption — leider sind wir aus Kostengründen in ein anderes Hotel ausgewichen. Kollegen, die hier Unterkunft fanden, waren begeistert.

En la propia sala o salon de Midnight rose (preciosista local nocturno donde los haya, muy recomendado, sobre todo para cocktails y derivados, un poco caro, pero con mucho nivel y un trato excelente)
Pasados a ese punto algo de la decoracion se mantiene, aunque el juego de luces como es logico, juega mas con la brillantez, ya que la faceta a comentar del restaurante es su oferta para desayunar.
En este hotel, nos encontramos con una sala amplia, muy amplia, y muy bien decorada, sus juegos de negras columnas, sus cristaleras oscuras y sus lamparas, sin duda haran que como minimo podamos disfrutar del lugar en el que nos encontramos. Sin duda un lugar para quedar bien, y si os digo la verdad, vais a quedar de puta madre.
En el propio local cuentan ademas con varias ofertas, desde desayunos, habituales, con zumos, bolleria o algo de tostadas, al brunch, que tiene un precio que ronda los 25 euros. Quiza algo caro, pero vale mucho la pena. Ademas su oferta de steaks (para desayunar) es bastante apetitosa.
En fin, para quedar bien y desayunar aun mejor, como nota decir que en verano, al usarse tambien por los propios clientes del hotel, puede encontrarse algo mas lleno, asi que recomiendo que en fin de semana madrugar un poco, aunque quien madruga para desayunar?
