Overal review
The 5-star Gran hotel Ingles is one of the best options to enjoy the heart of Madrid in style.
The hotel is perfect for those who want to enjoy a historical building (this one dates back to the XIXth century) and be able to get to most of the city´s attractions by walk.
If you enjoy very modern hotels the Gran hotel Ingles may not be the best option for you. We recommend you to have a look at the Urban hotel which boasts a great location and a very modern design.
Otherwise, the Gran Hotel Inglés offers most things you could expect from a luxury hotel. We believe it provides reasonable value for money for a hotel of this standard.
