Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests consistently praise the Petit Palace Arenal's excellent location, right in the heart of everything and near Plaza Mayor and metro stops, making it easy to explore Madrid. The rooms are often described as clean and spacious, some featuring balconies with nice street views; plus, the bathrooms are also ample. While the breakfast area in the basement is windowless and not to everyone's taste, many find the breakfast itself lovely, with options like cheeses, hams, and fruit detox drinks.

limited storage street noise
The location was indeed central, yet our "Double or Twin Room" felt quite cramped. Storage was a challenge. The closet space barely accommodated our belongings. the noise from the nearby street was noticeable, especially at night. It impacted sleep quality. These issues somewhat overshadowed the hotel's positive aspects.
