When I entered I had the opportunity to meet the Director who came to say hello to my wife and myself. He invited us to a cocktail. I actually drunk 2 gin& tonics and during that time, he explained us how the hotel works etc. Rooms were refurnished and had nice flat tvs. The service was very friendly and what... more

I booked the hotel directly but the reservation had disappeared...Fortunately they had rooms,actually very nice and gave us an upgrade because of the inconvenience.As others have pointed out THERE IS NO COMPUTER ,NO PERSONAL COMPUTER TO LEND though they state this as one of their facilities.Breakfast isn't worth the 30e they charge,but is in a charming space.The decoration is wonderful... more

I stayed here for 9 nights in late July while I was in Madrid for business. It's a deluxe, small hotel with very good, personalized service. The room was very comfortable and the bath included a tub with jacuzzi. Very nice for relaxing after a long day of work. The bed and linens were very, ver ynice. I also appreciated... more

Beautiful hotel in historic building. Nice sized room that was clean and well equipped. Front desk was very friendly and tried to be helpful however it seemed as if they are more used to business travellers than tourists as they weren't that well versed on basic tourist attractions and/or hot new restaurants, etc. If you know where you want to... more

Fantastic small hotel! We stayed 5 nights for an anniversary weekend and it couldn't have been better!! Location is perfect, tucked down a quiet side street, so it really an oasis of peace in a noisy, hectic city where people don't even start going out to dinner before 9pm. Off a side street from Plaza Colon, at first our taxi... more

I came here because work booked me in this hotel for two nights, and it exceeded my expectations. The rooms were very large, very clean, and the staff threw in details such as a complementary bottle of sherry on arrival, and an evening forcast of the next day's weather written on a small card next to your pillow when housekeeping... more

Hotel Orfila is a small, upscale establishment on a quiet side street near the Plaza Colon. It is the only Relais & Chateaux property in Madrid, but it is not nearly as nice as many of the others in this group where we have stayed. The lobby, restaurant, tea room, and outside terrace on the main floor look lovely, but... more

Stayed here in summer 2005 - horrifically high temperatures, and the hotel was a welcome refuge to come back to. Traditionally furnished but very comfortable. Staff very friendly and very helpful - even when we arrived for check-in hours before normal time. Really good breakfast buffet. Just down the road from the AC Mauro, where the staff (presumably used to... more

We spent five perfect nights at Hotel Orfila in Madrid. Staff is very friendly, English-speaking, and wonderfully accomodating. Clientelle seemed mostly European, very upscale and sophisticated.This small, traditionally furnished hotel is beautifully restored and rooms are very plushly decorated, with large bathrooms and very comfortable living space. Good breakfast buffet and also several cafes nearby. Location is one of the... more
