My stay at this hotel was mostly enjoyable with some standout features. The location next to Retiro Park was perfect for exploring, and the breakfast was truly exceptional. However, my experience was marred by a mix-up with the room I was assigned and the service at the Wellington Club, which left me frustrated. Overall, while the hotel had great aspects, there were significant misses regarding my room expectations.

The Wellington Hotel Madrid is steeped in charm but has its quirks. The location is superb for exploring nearby attractions, and the staff is attentive, but the dining experience, particularly at breakfast, could use some improvement.

The Wellington Hotel has a charming blend of old-world elegance and modern comfort. Its breakfast is truly outstanding, and the location in the upscale Salamanca district is unbeatable, surrounded by great cafes and close to major attractions. However, the mattresses could use an upgrade, and the parking fee felt quite steep for an overnight stay.
