Quick feeback after my recent stays at the Courtyard Princesa in Madrid.
Marriott Rewards Status: Gold
Positive:
+ Breakfast is quite okay (improved in the last years) / compare my video
+ Location is not perfect but Supermarket and Metro are very close; however Gran Via can be reached (~ 4 Metro status) as well by walking if you want
Negative:
- Comfort rooms (not yet renovated) are a nightmare
- Premium rooms are okay but bathrooms are still old
- Street and traffic around is very noisy over night
- Many tourist groups are staying in the hotel (can take some time to check in/ -out)
- Marriott Status recognition usually very bad; had Platinum several years and never got any arrival gift
My recommendation:
Stay somewhere else (for example INDIGO Gran Via) if you still want to stay in the Courtyard (to renew your status) I would highly recommend to take a renovated Premium room
Comfort room
Premium room
Bathrooms are the same for Comfort and Premium room
