I had a lovely stay at the Wellington Hotel & Spa Madrid, enjoying its prime location close to many attractions. The breakfast was really good, truly a highlight of my mornings. However, there were a few downsides; the ongoing room refurbishments made it a bit noisy, and the service varied significantly among staff members. In general, it was a good experience, but not without its quirks.

Rooms

The room I stayed in was spacious and beautifully furnished, but some areas of the hotel felt a bit outdated and could use a refresh. Unfortunately, the lack of a bathtub in the room was a letdown for me, especially for a 5-star hotel.

Staff were attentive overall, but my experience was mixed. While some were incredibly welcoming, I did encounter a few who were less friendly. A nice touch, though, was when they lent us an umbrella during a rainy day.

My stay at the Wellington Hotel & Spa Madrid was overall fantastic, highlighted by the luxurious and spacious junior suite and the extraordinary service from the staff. The breakfast buffet was a lavish treat, although the room service left much to be desired, which was disappointing. The location was perfect, with easy access to parks and authentic dining options nearby.

Rooms

The junior suite was spacious, with a cozy atmosphere, featuring a comfortable king bed and good large pillows. However, it lacked a bathtub and bidet, which I usually consider essential for a 5-star experience.

Service

The breakfast was amazing, featuring an extensive array of delicious dishes, including fresh fruits and even champagne. However, I was let down by the room service; the food was not only expensive but also not up to par, with my cheeseburger being cold and bland.
