Hotel Husa Princesa

This is now the Courtyard Madrid Princesa. I believe the Marriott just bought the property and are in the process of turning it into a Marriott Property. I arrived this morning on an overnight flight from the United States. After flying for 15 hours and not sleeping on the last leg I was hoping my room was ready at 8 am. Thankfully it was. Room was clean and big considering most European rooms are tiny. I did book a premium room so that maybe the difference. They do offer free wifi so that is an addition from some
Of the other reviews. A Starbucks is right out the door and a mall/​grocery store are on the other side. I was in no mood to search for dinner and ate in the hotel restaurant. I was not impressed. The food has a long was to go. I will say this though, the staff is great! I barely touched my fish meal but didn’t say anything. I paid my bill, went to the grocery and came back and the restaurant server stopped me. I know little to no Spanish so as he is talking and we are having a language barrier we both get to the point that I didn’t enjoy my meal. He offered to make me something else. I thanked him and said it was not a big issue and to not worry about it. He was apologetic and I just think you don’t get people who go out of their way anymore. I didn’t catch his name, but that is why I’m a loyal Marriott member.

I’ve never heard of a four star hotel with NO WIFI even though it is advertised that it is working. Staff has memorized a fake answer of «it’s due to upgrades». AC was broken in the lobby TV had to be fixed and the view outside my window was a brick wall. There was also a huge mural that was kind of creepy on the wall. It is not a bad walk from the gran villa but you can get much closer for your money. I would not go back.

A primera vista se ve bastante viejo y poco cuidado.
El mantenimiento no me parece el adecuado para este tipo de hotel. El espejo auxiliar del baño, estaba salido de la pared y no sé cuanto tiempo debía llevar así.
Imagino que también se debe a que están cambiando de dueños, pasan de Husa a Marriott y hay algunos detalles que no me han acabado de gustar. Por ejemplo, en el mini bar de la habitación solo había una lata de aceitunas y cuatro botellines de ginebra y vodka. Dos de ellos estaban vacíos, pero seguían allí. Eso da muy mala imagen.
Según la persona de recepción, se debe a que han cedido ese servicio a una empresa externa, pero en ese caso, mejor vaciar la nevera y limpiarla.
La parte positiva, es su ubicación, ya que te permite visitar la ciudad sin necesidad de coche, pero también creo que por menos dinero hay mejores opciones en la misma zona.

Ok. So you go to a four star hotel.
No wifi. Only answer is we are upgrading here are the codes but it probably won’t work.
Then the hair Dryer in the room does not work, actually it works for 10 secs then shuts off.
Then you try to phone the front desk and your phone does not work.
Epic failure. Don’t stay in this hotel there are many better choices.

Ughhhhhhhhh! That was the general response from guest services.
Ugh you want wi-​fi? Here’s your 30 mins go crazy. Funny thing is I kept asking for an extra 30mins until someone finally offered the option to buy a day pass on my last 24 hours there. Poor sales and service there? You think after the 3^rd time of going to the front desk, I wouldn’t want to pay for the wi-​fi by now? And this is a business hotel right? Make the wi-​fi free.
Besides the wi-​fi, there were issues with the room card every now and then which front desk begrudgingly fixed for me and other guests. Seriously every question was a bother for them. Quit your job if you don’t want people asking questions! No one was rude either just asking for solutions to their problems. Friendly customer service goes a long way.
The two stars are for the basic hotel stuff which they Hotel Princesa managed to meet somehow. Rooms were clean enough and equipped with AC. Breakfast was fairly decent as well. The location is in walking distance of a couple of main attractions in Madrid which is nice. Taxis are usually easy to catch outside and the popular El Corte Inglés is nearby.
In conclusion… No!

Una noche cansado no quieres salir del hotel y sueles arriesgarte y te quedas a comer en el hotel.
La hamburguesa buenísima y la ensalada César no vale los diez euros que cuesta.
El punto negativo para uno que llega de fuera es que las bebidas son demasiado caras, hablo de un kas naranja 4,36, sí tomas dos en una cena haces la cuenta, el precio en relación a un plato no tiene sentido. El camarero a la consulta nos dice que es normal el precio del refresco para una terraza y que es lo normal para la zona.
Evitando beber !!! Podemos decir que la terraza es muy tranquila y la comida aceptable. Eso si mientras están destinando en el bufet interior no se atiende la terraza exterior .
Añadir lo de otros comentarios sobre el wifi cuando este es un servicio como el agua o televisión en cualquier parte civilizada del mundo, aquí te cobran.
Parking a 24 euros día aceptable.
Las habitaciones y personal ok. Las habitaciones que dan a la avenida princesa reciben algo de ruido de semáforos.

Our trip to Spain was booked through a Living Social deal so there wasn’t any choice when picking hotels, tours etc.
My stay was 11÷13−16÷13 we had a late flight out of New York which arrived into Madrid early morning once we reached the hotel of course the room was not ready but then again it was 8am once we were checked in we were told it could be about an hour or so to get a room since there were other people waiting No big deal we headed to the second level for some breakfast.
Really decent breakfast here, typical to Europe style plenty of breads & cheeses, as well as cold cuts & fruits.
The white cheese in square slices is to die for simply delicious goes great w eggs & specially on the square bread they had great as a snack for later on.
They also had decent selection of hot food, which included, rice, beens, potatoes, bacon & sausages. Also plenty of Egg choices, fried, buffet style & boiled.
Breakfast is serve from 7am-​11am.
The hotel definately has a good breakfast worth making the time for which we did during our stay.
Once we were done we headed to the Lobby to check & were excited to find out our room was ready which of course was perfect since it was still so early in the morning this gave us time to unwind before heading into town.
You can buy tickets for the city tour at the reception desk we took advance of this & got ours saved this saved us some time.
Nice size room, didn’t like the fact that there were no toiletries, I mean I get the shampoo & soap pump to save money but ahh I like my separate stuff specially since we all know we like to take those suckers home.
Room temperature was an issue during our stay they can’t seem to keep the AC at a cool enough temperature which makes for a not so great sleep since u wake up sweating balls.
Extra blanket & pillows are available for the pull out bed but no sheet covers this didn’t make a difference since the bed was half dead !! By this I mean the top half of the bed was stable bottom half had no support it was pretty uncomfortable.
The mini fridge was ahh another thing which seemed to lack cool, it was room temperature which if u used the fridge u would know it made for warm liquids & funky odor.
Next issue is the Wifi … So u get 30 minutes per room per day but only for one person ?? What the F @@k. Why so cheap with the Wifi no clue !!! Of course u can always pay the 4 euros for an hour which is not terrible but u can’t even share it ?? It’s only for one devise at a time! 30 minutes is too short for free access & it can only be used in the Lobby kind of a pain they really need to improve this.
TV service no clue what’s going on here either? It’s a hotel they can customize channels as they please right? I’ve personally never had an issue elsewhere here tho Not 1 channel in English which I guess is not that big of a deal because how much time are u really spending in the room ?? but when u r resting & channel surfing it would have been nice to at least not have to sit though just about every channel in Spanish.
They have a nice lobby area with a bar that seemed to have only opened once during my stay never made it but we did sit for a drink at the Lobby restaurant this was ok.
The hotel itself definitely needs some modern improvements.
I can say the room was a decent place to sleep since we were out touring the city most of thetime decent enough location that you can walk to a lot of the stuff in the area.
We had no choice in picking the hotel but it served its purpose during my stay. the staff was helpfull & friendly.
I decide on the 3 stars as supposed to 2 simply because the Best thing about this place was the free breakfast & easy location.

No tengo ninguna queja en concreto. Simplemente creo que hay otras opciones mucho mejores.
El precio de ¹⁰⁰⁄₁₂₀ € por persona no compensa. Si quieres Wifi tienes que pagar 10 €/​día y solo sirve para un dispositivo. El desayuno es demasiado americano y las habitaciones, aunque muy grandes, tienen la pinta de seguir siendo iguales desde hace 50 años.
Las vistas de mi habitación, al igual que en abril, son a la fachada de El Corte Inglés, que está a unos 10 metros de distancia, por lo que no tengo casi luz natural, ya que el edificio lo tapa todo.
Eso sí, tiene una cafetería/​terraza muy agradable.

Während eines Businesstrips haben wir zwei Nächte im Husa übernachtet. Es ist sehr gepflegt und absolut empfehlenswert.

Otro hotel impersonal más. Tiene una parte más vieja y otro ala renovada y más moderna.
Tiene parking a los precios habituales de Madrid pero yo siempre he aparcado en las cercanías sin problemas (en fin de semana).
Si consigues la suite a un precio razonable merece la pena. Tiene un salón enorme y si vas con familia es un buen desahogo.
La ubicación me viene muy bien para las excursiones al Parque de Atracciones y al Zoo.

This is more of a business hotel, and about a one block walk from the metro (Arguelles stop). There is an El Cortez Ingles on that same block (very convenient for groceries and all your drug store needs) taking up the entire block, and a starbucks on the corner. There is also a Citibank right across the street from the hotel. The hotel itself has wi-​fi but it’s paid (they have a 1 day, 3 day, or 1 month option). There are safes in every room but apparently most of them are ‘out of order’. The concierge does have safes behind the desk that they will let you use for free. These safes are key operated and require two keys to open — the one you have and the one they keep behind the desk. The hotel is convenient to the metro and decently priced for the area. The rooms are clean and there is AC. There is the street side and the back side (quieter) room options. The bathrooms have small showers but good water pressure and there are hairdryers in the rooms.

Only worthwhile if you can get a discount rate.
Business hotel with a faded charme and a cool 60s downstairs area. The rooms are a bit worn but quite large.
Very centric and in one of Madrids nicest and more bourgois neighbourhoods.

Hotel situado a unos minutos del centro de Madrid.
Es un hotel moderno que te ofrece un aire y trato distinto a muchos otros.
Puedes disfrutar de unas bonitas y frescas terrazas adornadas de flores y de mesitas para tomar algo.
El personal es muy atento pero sin pasarse, en su justa medida. Se notaba que era gente profesional y con años de experiencia.
La calidad del hotel estaba muy bien con el precio que me ofrecieron, por unos 80 euros está la habitación totalmente equipada.

Lo mejor es su situación
Se encuentra junto a un Corte ingles y en plena calle princesa, es decir junto a la Gran Via y al centro de Madrid. Tiene salones interiores en los que se organizan fiestas y galas, y las habitaciones son de lo mejorcito.
