Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is very convenient for the airport, offering spacious rooms with comfortable beds and easy access to light fare and drinks near the lobby. The service was friendly and efficient, but there were some issues with rudeness at reception and noisy ventilation. The location is excellent for travelers needing quick airport access, though potential improvements could encourage more guest activities. The dining experience was good overall, with diverse options, but with occasional misses in quality. The facilities are well-maintained and offer practical amenities.
The hotel offers a quite comfortable stay, although it feels very out of date. It doesn't have a coffeemaker which was a bit inconvenient after a long flight. The friendly service was a plus, especially understanding our needs for a kettle to boil water for the baby. The location is good, specifically for airport access, but there are other nearby eating/drinking options as well. The dining experience was great value and exceeded expectations in terms of selection. Overall, a decent option for a stay.
My stay at the hotel was wonderful! The rooms were spacious and very comfortable, and the staff were very professionals. The location was terrific, and the dining experience was excellent. However, the service onto the concierge could be improved, and there was an issue with the price for some facilities.
The room at Melia was really below the standards of a 4-star hotel. It was spacious with a comfortable bed and almost all necessary amenities, and it was very clean. However, the lack of coffee machine or tea bags was a letdown.
The hotel is conveniently located near the airport, making it perfect for travelers with early flights. The rooms, although a bit old-fashioned, were impeccably clean. The dining experience was outstanding, offering a variety of options for a reasonable price. However, the service had some issues with responsiveness and attentiveness.
The hotel offers clean and big rooms with a big window, making for a very comfortable stay. Despite its central location, it manages to provide a quiet environment. However, the overpriced parking and some unpleasant encounters with staff were a downside to an otherwise enjoyable experience.
I had a comfortable and quiet stay at the hotel, although the rooms were a bit dated and could have been cleaner, the semi-modern decor was nice. The service was a mix of good and bad experiences, with helpful staff in some areas but disappointing service in others. The location was great for a night before a flight, close to the airport but with a need to book the shuttle in advance. The dining options were varied but quite expensive. Overall, it was a decent stay with some room for improvement.
My stay at the hotel was mixed. The room was very large and tastefully decorated, but the price of 169 euro a night is not cheap. The service was great, with friendly and helpful staff, although it takes about an hour to get into the center of Madrid with the metro. The location was good, with plenty of bars and restaurants nearby, and very close to the Madrid airport. The dining experience was sumptuous but could benefit from a la carte options. Overall, a decent stay but with some room for improvement.
The hotel rooms were so comfortable that I didn't want to leave. They were large, clean, and truly superior. The service was very pleasant and helpful, making my stay enjoyable. The location was great, allowing easy access to nearby restaurants with the convenience of a free shuttle to the airport. The dining experience was nice, although the hot food could have been hotter. Overall, a positive stay with a few minor areas for improvement.
My stay at this hotel was a mix of ups and downs. The rooms, although large, clean, and quiet, lacked a view and had thin walls. The service, aside from one standout staff member, was a bit of a letdown due to a mistake at check-in. The location was convenient for airport access but tough to find initially. The dining experience was superb with plenty of variety. However, the facilities were somewhat lacking.
The hotel offered spacious and lovely rooms catering to disabled people, but with a noticeable damp and musty smell. The service was helpful despite a slow check-in process, and the location was excellent for quick access to the airport. The dining experience was top-notch but could have started earlier. Overall, a good value for money option with a few drawbacks.
My stay at the Melia Barajas was a mix of highs and lows. The room was clean, spacious, and comfortable, offering a separate shower and bathtub, good internet speed, and a functional working space. However, the service, particularly the airport shuttle and customer service, left much to be desired. The location was convenient, with easy access to the airport but lacked a deep cleaning touch. The dining experience was satisfactory, with a good variety of options, but improvements could be made. Overall, a decent stay with room for enhancement.
The hotel was fantastic, offering spacious and wonderfully decorated rooms that were large and very comfortable. The service was exceptionally helpful and nice, ensuring a pleasant stay. The location was generous and calm, perfect for those needing easy access to the airport. The dining experience was also excellent, providing a wide variety of delicious options. However, the facilities were somewhat lacking, impacting the overall experience.
The hotel offers one of the best-furnished rooms ever, although a bit small for two people without coffee or tea facilities. The service is exceptionally poor in the dining room at times, yet very friendly and helpful overall. It has a very good location with convenient access to public transport. The dining experience includes a huge selection of food suitable for various nationalities.
The hotel is conveniently close to the airport and offers a lovely stay for a night before your flight. The architectural design is impressive, with beautiful lighting and seating arrangements. However, there are limited dining options and the excessive expenses for dining might not represent good value for money.
