InterContinental Madrid

Built in 1952, InterContinental Madrid is quite old and is located in what appears to be the capital's administrative district. It's not particularly close to tourist attractions, making it a quieter spot. The rooms, while a bit dated, are well-maintained and perfectly functional. The decor is quite cozy, and there were no issues with our stay. The bathroom was spacious enough, and there was plenty of hot water. The room service was exceptional. Late one night, we ordered four Heinekens, which arrived in a champagne bucket filled with crushed ice, accompanied by olives, peanuts, and crisps! It seems to be a popular choice for local business and executive travelers, as the restaurant was very busy, and they even hosted weddings. The atmosphere was quite pleasant. The only downside was on the first day when we checked in. We were given a room right next to the elevator, and the noise from it was incredibly loud, making it impossible to rest. I found this room assignment to be discriminatory. There are likely two such rooms on each floor, and the front desk couldn't possibly be unaware of the noise issue. There were also other rooms of the same type available, yet we were still assigned that one. Fortunately, they were very prompt in changing our room when we requested it, and I didn't pursue the matter further, not wanting it to spoil our trip. My fellow travelers, if you encounter a similar situation abroad, be sure to firmly refuse it!!!

Our first stop in Spain, and we rested so well! The atmosphere was great, the service was excellent, and the room was spacious. They even gave us a gift when they found out we were on our honeymoon. Highly recommend~

Stayed in room 521 from September 25th to 27th, 2026. It was incredibly noisy by the elevator every day, making it impossible to sleep. The soundproofing is very poor.

A rather ordinary InterContinental hotel.

Although the hotel is a bit old-fashioned, it's clean, tidy, and has a warm, festive Christmas atmosphere. The front desk and lobby staff are incredibly welcoming and friendly. My room had a terrace, offering beautiful views of Madrid city during sunrise and sunset. The floor attendant was exceptional; if I missed the cleaning time, she'd thoughtfully leave her cart by my door so I could grab water and supplies myself. She really went above and beyond! It's also very convenient to explore the commercial district and large supermarkets nearby. I'll definitely stay here again next time!

The breakfast was pretty good, but the mini fried dough sticks were all gone if you went a bit later 😭

The room facilities are complete, comfortable, and cozy.
