Círculo Gran Vía Hotel

Location was phenomenal. Staff was great. Hotel itself was very nice. Only downside was no noise at all in room. As no noise from a/c. With it being so quiet you could hear the street noise all night long. Like people partying and sirens off and on. It’s on a busy street so needs some kind of little noise machine to blend out the outside traffic and noise.

Nice hotel,near the center,yummy breakfast,clean room,good CS.

We stayed 3 nights here on our first visit to Madrid. The location is excellent for all sightseeing, the train is across the road with many restaurants and bars close. We used points for the hotel booked last minute, the room was spacious and the massage bath a welcome after long days walking. There is some noise, but you are in the middle of a vibrant city, and it didn't bother us. Staff were excellent and friendly. Recommend without hesitation.

This is a great hotel in a central location and the staff is very helpful. We had a suite with a great big terrace and even though it was January we could still enjoy the mornings and unwind at night on it. The rooms, bathrooms and closest are spacious. The staff was very helpful in helping us make dinner reservations and getting around.

My husband is a titanium member so we stay at a lot of Marriotts! Location, location, location is the old real estate adage & this applies to this hotel. It’s in a perfect location for tourists. A 15–20-minute walk in either direction takes you to the Prado or the Palacio Real (Royal Palace). We loved this location & you will also. Its on a busy street with lots of shopping & restaurants. NOTE Uber cannot legally access the Gran Via so be sure & take a taxi! Pros: Excellent front desk staff & bottle of water upon check-in. We were upgraded to a suite with an inside courtyard view which we preferred since there was no noise. The suite was beautifully appointed. Living area with couches & tables & chairs & separate bedroom & bathroom. It overlooked an inner courtyard & that was what we wanted as it was very quiet. We stayed several nights. The hotel entrance was separated from the casino which we liked. Free glass of wine at the bar for titanium members. Lots of places to eat nearby & we liked Vinitus tapas bar close to the hotel that they recommended. Cons No lobby seating area & nowhere to sit beside restaurant, bar or your room as there is no lobby. The breakfast buffet was either 30 or 35 euros & very disappointing - not worth it but we got it for free as a titanium. The buffet was very small & they quickly ran out of croissants & never replaced them even though we were there before 8am one morning. Service was below Marriott standards. Buffet did not have a large selection of food. Below average breakfast buffet & service for a high-end hotel. Hotel does not have the WOW factor, like so many other European Marriott Hotels we have stayed at. See my review of the Barcelona Cotton House. Only a 4-star hotel because breakfast was not up to par & there was no lobby to sit in. Also, no glass of cava is offered upon check-in like the Cotton House in Barcelona. Conclusion - although we liked the location, I would try another Marriott on our next visit.

Great property at great location! Be aware that you will find a lot of people in the streets shopping in the main street, and there is a lot of traffic, so avoid driving a car. Loved the front desk staff, they were very helpful and friendly!! They need to improve the service and quantity at the breakfast, and the space of the gym, but the room was very comfortable and pretty clean. Recommended!!
