Petit Palace Savoy Alfonso XII

The staff was very friendly and helpful. It has very comfortable beds and pillows, as well as great showers (very modern), a safety box that works with a credit card (very convenient), a minibar, and free water bottles and coffee/tea. The rooms also come with iron boards and irons, as well as bathroom accessories (combs, etc.). The breakfast buffet was outstanding (eggs, meats, cheeses, breads, veggies, salads, fruits, cereals, coffee choices, different types of milk for the lactose intolerant like me (almond, soy, oat), and sweet breads (which I passed, since I am trying to lose weight (but they were highly tempting!). The location faces the Retiro Park, hence, the rooms are very quiet. It is also near two convenient metro stations (Retiro and Banco de España). There are many restaurants on Alcalá Street, three blocks away from the hotel, as well as an outstanding Irish bar. It is also near the Prado Museum. I will return to this hotel.

Breakfast was, as other reviewers have said, really wonderful. Lots of variety to choose from and a great start to the day. Staff was helpful and friendly. Hotel was in was in easy walking distance to museums, Retiro park, the botanical garden and the Atocha train station. Comfortable bed and clean room. We liked the hotel so much, we came back again for another 4 nights before leaving Spain.

The highlight was our location across from El Retiro. What a gorgeous park! I went both days to walk. Petit Palace Savoy Alfonso is a nice area. Just a 20 minute walk to El Prado. Our superior double gave us plenty of space. Really nice closet and adequate bathroom. Everything was clean. They provided some basic toiletries. Great shower pressure as well. Just a lovely building. Staff were very helpful and allowed us to keep bags stored while we went to pick up a rental car. I am so happy I chose to stay there!

Room very comfortable, location perfect for enjoying park and museums. Breakfast was very good, which we really appreciated (especially now having experienced hotels with subpar breakfasts later in the trip). It would have been nice to have a pot of coffee or tea at the table rather than having to make our own, which was time consuming and we had to wait. But the buffet was excellent and the omelette very good.

Great central location with Retiro park right across the road and the Prado round the corner. Able to walk to all the key sites or take a short cab ride. Pharmacy and small mini-market round the corner, a great coffee/bakery down the road and some tapas bars nearby. Breakfast buffet was amazing with lots of choice including lovely fresh fruit and some fresh salad. Staff were very friendly and helpful throughout. Huge family room that was great given we had our 2 teenage boys with us.
