Catalonia Puerta Del Sol - A restored 18th-century building with period courtyard in Madrid's Las Letras district

Located in a late 18th-century heritage building, this 4-star Madrid hotel features two 3.5-meter entrance doors with original hinges and fittings. The Catalonia Puerta Del Sol preserves classical elements including an 18th-century facade, wooden staircase, and medallion-adorned entrance with its original coffered ceiling. The property centers around a traditional interior courtyard topped by a skylight. Guest rooms offer Chromecast TVs, USB chargers, and marble bathrooms, while premium accommodations include Nespresso machines and VIP amenities. The hotel houses a gastrobar serving Mediterranean cuisine and cocktails, plus a breakfast buffet restaurant. At 0.5 miles from Puerta del Sol and Plaza Mayor, Catalonia positions guests near the Art Triangle museums and Gran Via. The Atocha train station lies 1 mile away, offering high-speed connections to Barcelona, Valencia, and Seville.

Pros

Heritage-listed building with preserved 18th-century architectural features

Interior courtyard with natural lighting and modern furnishings

Gastrobar offering international dishes and craft cocktails

10-minute walk to three major art museums

Cons

18.5 miles distance from Madrid-Barajas Airport

“I think this hotel has mastered the art of blending historical charm with modern comfort, which is no easy feat. Its central location is a real draw, placing you steps from the city's best attractions. I especially appreciate the attention to detail, from the stylish rooms to the quiet indoor courtyard.”

I found some issues with the room i was assigned. the bathroom wasn't ventilated correctly, so steam easily built up. this caused the room to be a bit musty. also, the floors weren't very clean. My feet became black when i walked around.

A Duplex Delight in the Heart

We enjoyed our stay of four nights . The hotel's location allowed us easy exploration. The room was a duplex studio that had a coffee machine, a great addition. I also found the bathrooms very nice.
I noticed the floors in the room weren't very clean. Our feet became black from walking on them. The bathroom also lacked proper ventilation, easily becoming musty.

Really good Stay

The breakfast included various options. There were assorted cheeses and omelets. Croissants and pastries were also available. Fresh coffee and orange juice were provided. I also enjoyed the traditional Spanish tortilla de patata. The staff was very helpful in addressing my questions. The beds were comfy and contributed to a restful experience.
The room was slightly warm, and adjusting the air conditioning was not possible due to the building's age.

.). I called about passports left in the room safe. The receptionist had them waiting when I dashed back. The location is GREAT. It gives easy access to museums, parks, the train station, and the metro.
The breakfast was very expensive. (Luckily) there is a great bakery directly opposite the hotel that does EXCELLENT breakfasts.
