Value for $ or IHG One Rewards Points? Would you return?
Hotel is surprisingly very cheap and pleasant.

Hotel Indigo Princesa Madrid offers a comfortable and well-considered stay in the heart of the Spanish capital.

Corner rooms on higher floors are slightly more spacious than the standard ones, making them a more pleasant choice.
While the rooms are not particularly large, they never feel cramped or confined.
The air conditioning is notably efficient — a real asset during the heat of summer.


The breakfast is of genuinely good quality, with a varied selection and fresh produce (but no à la carte egg menu).
The staff ensure the buffet remains fully stocked right up until the end of service — a detail that’s both rare and much appreciated.

One of the hotel’s key strengths is its convenience: it is located directly adjacent to Argüelles metro station, offering easy access to the rest of the city, including airport.
For those who enjoy shopping, El Corte Inglés sits just opposite, with an excellent food hall in the basement and a wide range of other departments.

Guests should also take the time to visit the hotel’s rooftop — a surprisingly little-known spot that offers comfortable seating, sun loungers, and a superb panoramic view over Madrid.
It’s a quiet, relaxing space that adds a welcome bonus to the overall experience.

The location is also ideal for exploring some of Madrid’s cultural highlights. A 15-minute walk brings you to the stunning Temple of Debod — particularly atmospheric at sunset — with panoramic views over the city and towards the Royal Palace.
Nearby, the ABC Museum regularly hosts excellent exhibitions, while the under-visited Centro Cultural Conde Duque offers high-quality shows and a contemporary art museum, most of which are free to enter.

All in all, this hotel is a smart choice for anyone wishing to explore Madrid’s historic centre with ease.
