Location was perfect. Right in between Plaza Mayor and Puerta Del Sol. But also not so close that it was loud if anything was going on at Sol (was there recently during pride). Very walkable to major tourist attractions. Rooms were nice. Bed was comfy. Appreciated the breakfast in the morning which had quite a bit of variety. Would absolutely stay here again.

This hotel is great and in the perfect location if you don’t want to be near the super busy roads. We stayed at another hotel near El Retiro and loved this one so much more. Plus their breakfast and staff are excellent!
They provided a great crib plus child towel.

Hotel Francisco I is such a chic and beautifully decorated hotel. The location was phenomenal — you can walk almost anywhere. The room was clean and spacious, and the breakfast was superb. The Filipino staff were especially warm and friendly, and they really took great care of us throughout our stay.

Charming , sophisticated gem in Madrid. Even under construction the hotel was impeccable. Can’t wait to see it completed. We loved our Top floor terrace with sun loungers and outdoor shower. The staff at breakfast and the staff in the lounge at night bend over backwards to accommodate. Remembering preferences. We stayed 5 days and loved it. Breakfast was plentiful with many choices. Lovely hotel!
