Review Hotel Regina Madrid

Reservation Information For The Hotel Regina Madrid

The Hotel Regina Madrid is located amongst a street of very ornate buildings. The road it is on stretches between the Puerta del Sol in the heart of Madrid, to Retiro Park. The entire street is filled with majestic architecture and the Hotel Regina is no exception.

I was very impressed when I walked in, and had to let out a ‘wooo’! I couldn’t believe that this hotel has 3 stars and not 4. The reception is really modern and welcoming. To the right there’s an adjoining café, straight ahead is the reception desk and to the left is a comfortable seating area. There are candles on the tables, bright modern paintings on the walls, and vases with exotic plants. One of the vases of flowers had glass diamonds entwined in the leaves. It’s all very tastefully done.

Hotel Facilities

The Seating Area In The Lobby Of The Hotel Regina Madrid

The Hotel Regina Madrid has a café, restaurant, laundry service, bellboy, lounge area, car rental, excursions to towns in the Madrid Community, airport shuttle and parking.

The café has a Summer feel with blues and whites and it has a sparkly ceiling, which I am sure must look lovely at night! They offer a 3 course menu of the day for 19.50 euros, and also have several fish, pasta and rice dishes.

There’s also a bodega (wine cellar) that has walls of brick, and an excellent selection of wines. It’s really cosy!

Facilities For The Disabled

The Hotel Regina Madrid has one room (room 128) especially adapted for disabled people, with a wider bath and hand rails.

Business Facilities

In reception there are 2 computers with internet connection.

Rooms

There are 180 rooms that have all been refurbished in a modern and summery Mediterranean style. They have parquet flooring, and blue and yellow colour schemes. The room I saw had beamed ceilings, and there are bright and colourful paintings on the walls. Attic rooms are available too.

Each room has a telephone, satellite TV, AC, ISDN internet connection, safe, en-suite bathroom and hair dryer.

External rooms have a view to the street and the ornate buildings opposite.

Hotel Location And Facilities

The Hotel Regina Madrid is in a very regal part of Madrid. You can walk to Puerta del Sol and all its shops, bars and restaurants in 1 minute. You’ll also find the big department store, El Corte Ingles in the Puerta del Sol, which has a supermarket downstairs.

On the same street (Calle Alcala) there is a restaurant 50 metres from the hotel in the direction of Sol. There are plenty of banks, and right outside the hotel is a public carpark, and the metro. Next door to the hotel is the Museum ‘Belles Artes’. Left out of the door is a Starbucks café, which is always good for a coffee and a muffin.

How To Get From The Airport To The Hotel

Via Taxi: A taxi from the airport should take about 30 minutes and cost 22 to 25 euros (including airport supplement), depending on traffic conditions and assuming that you don’t have any excess baggage (that all baggage fits inside the boot and interior of the taxi).

Via Metro: You can take various metro routes directly from the airport to arrive at Sevilla metro near the Hotel Regina Madrid. Line number 8 leaves from inside the airport between terminals 1 and 2. I’ve given the best route below with the stations where you need to change listed:

Metro: Colombia (Pink Line, L8) Then change and head for Principe de Vergara (Purple Line, L9) Then change and head for Sevilla (Red Line, L2).

Via Bus: You can take a red EMT public bus from the airport to Avenida America. The number bus that takes this route is the 115. From there it’s quicker to change to the metro.
