Overall Ratings & Reviews Hotel Don Pio

I thought this hotel was off the beaten track, but it is across from a metro station, and the trains here run every 3 minutes or so, which meant I was not very far away from the art museums time-wise. My room was large, quiet and clean, and the front desk attendants were uniformly warm and helpful. The ambience was elegant without being opulent. There is a restaurant on site with a three choice menu. It is frequented by locals, which made me feel less of a tourist! Highly recommended!

It's not so bad

Perfect!

Lovely building, clean and spacious rooms, good breakfast, and good proximity to both Madrid’s Chamartín train station and the airport. The property is beautifully maintained.

Closed to metro. Far from attractions

Excelente estadía 😍

Provided the necessary sleep my body needed.

This is a lovely hotel with helpful staff. It’s very convenient to the metro and to Chamartín train station. The rooms are spacious and very comfortable. The surrounding area is walkable and has conveniences such as cafes and a grocery store across the street. Highly recommend.

I liked everything about this hotel. Classic and feel like a home not a hotel for us. Absolutely loved it.

A welcome change from the usual hotel layout, with a huge atrium surrounded by generous sized rooms

El desayuno mas caro de todo madrid 30 euros por persona. Y me trataron de cobrar dos veces este servicio.

Unfortunately this hotel is not great. I’m unsure of the other ratings, especially those who remarked this hotel is quiet. All rooms face out into an atrium with a bar/restaurant. It was so loud in our room, we could hardly believe it. Everything echoed into our room, you could hear conversations and clanging of dishes late into the night, and then again early in the morning. Room itself was clean but uncomfortable bed. Location is across street from subway but it’s a long way into the museums, etc. We knew this when we booked this hotel- we waited to the last minute and there weren’t many other options, so we paid the inflated price for two nights here. Hard to imagine this is a four star hotel, it’s more like a two star. Wouldn’t stay here again.

Friendly staff and pretty and clean hotel which was conveniently located near a large supermarket which was very useful when the airline lost our luggage. Also conveniently located for the metro and bus. Walking distance to some nice restaurants and shops too.

The hotel is across the street to the metro and a supermarket. However, it is 30 min metro away (1 transition) to downtown area. Most difficult part is it does not have the AC during the night that was pretty hot even in April. We cannot open the windows as it is close to a main street. Since it is not in downtown, most restaurants are not open for dinner till 8 or 8:30pm.

Stuck in time , but fit for purpose

It’s a nice hotel 10 minutes of the international airport. It’s a good option value for money.

The hotel is located near a main road, but it has not an extreme traffic. Just in front of the hotel there is a metro station and bus station, so you do not need a car or taxi to get anywhere in Madrid fast, even at night. On the other side of the street there is an Alcampo (spanish Auchan), good place to buy things of everyday spanish life, not the ones sold for tourists. At Plaza del Peru - some minutes of walk - there are good restaurants. The hotel has a classic style, the rooms can be opened by key and not card. The building is new, but stylish, it resembles the old spanish ones, it uses the roofed patio as a dining room. Breakfast was fine. My room was cosy and big compared to an average hotel room. There are just small problems I should mention. First, sound proofing. Fortunately, there is a minimal traffic in the street at night, it does not disturb sleeping, the noises from the corridor or tubes are not too strong near the bed, however, the music played daytime from speakers in the ceiling of the corridor is sometimes disturbing, too loud. The bubble bath presented in the photos did not work. However, the staff was very kind and helpful. I booked the room with continental breakfast but there were buffet breakfasts - I did not had to pay any extra fee. The real estimation of the hotel is 4 1, one minus for the technical problems hoped to be repaired at the next renovation and one plus for the staff and the service that is better than expectable. Highly recommended.

I love how quaint the hotel was. The staff was absolutely amazing.

Wide and luxuries rooms, royal breakfast. Highly recommendable!

This hotel might be off the beaten track, but it's across the street from a metro stop that goes to 2 main stops for transfers: Plaza Castilla and Avenida America. You can get anywhere in 15 minutes or less. The area has no energy or action, but who cares! And the property is beautiful in a simple, classical way. I'll come back.
