Zleep Hotel Madrid Airport ★★★
"Very close to Madrid Airport and quite affordable at 600 RMB per night. The water is drinkable straight from the tap. A taxi to the airport takes only a few minutes. The room was clean, and the shower/toilet area was well-separated."

Madrid Marriott Hotel Princesa Plaza ★★★★
"The rooms are quite spacious and new. Location is convenient, close to metro and shopping mall. However, there are two issues: 1) electric car charging station does not work for tourists. Need to use home plug which rental cars normally do not provide. If we know this earlier, we may have chosen other hotels; 2) housekeeping staff entered our room despite the privacy signs hang at the door, which is unacceptable."

Hotel101 Madrid ★★★
"Simple hotel good for an overnight layover if you don’t want to go to the city centre. The shuttle bus only goes once per hour - from hotel: Our complimentary hotel shuttle service from Madrid Airport (Terminal 4) to the hotel operates every hour from 6:45 AM to 9:45 PM, except at 10:45 AM and 7:45 PM. This super been helpful info to have prior to booking as I arrived at T2 at 18:20. So had to wait quite a while. That also meant the shuttle was filled quickly and some people were left behind as it arrived about 8:30pm and even when full didn’t depart until 20:45. Staff in the hotel were nice and there’s a supermarket next door so that was good to get some snack for dinner and an early departure. The 6am shuttle back to the airport was also full before departure time, so be sure to arrive early if planning to use this service. However it does drop off at all terminals, which is good."

"The hotel is conveniently located, with a train station within easy walking distance within 10 mins, making it very accessible for travel. The reception staff provided good service and were helpful throughout the stay. The air conditioning worked well and kept the room comfortably cool, and the shower had a reliable supply of hot water. However, the room itself felt a bit small, and the television was positioned very close to the bathroom area, which made the layout slightly awkward and easy to bump into if not careful."
