"FANTASTIC!!
Our stay at the Hotel Urso was truly wonderful in every respect. I’ll break it down, but first a little background.
We are 3 couples/family members traveling through Madrid and Andalusia together. Our aunt is a healthy 89 year old and she’s still 89.
What did we like about the Hotel Urso? Everything!
Location - It can’t be beat. It is a short walking distance to a market, convenience store, different types of shopping streets, restaurants and, if you don’t mind d a little longer walk (20 minutes), various sights.
Rooms - Beautiful and spacious. Two of the couples had a suite and a junior suite. One had a room. All of us were completely satisfied. One would imagine the suites would be spacious, and they most definitely were. The room? Also very spacious with two comfortable lounge chairs and a table between them. In most American hotels, you’re lucky to have one seat.
Perks - Every day, the staff refill glass bottles with water (for my environmental heart, this makes me happy). We received a fruit platter upon arrival. And every evening there is a turn down service where they leave more water and some dark chocolate. Yum!
Every evening there is live piano music in the lobby. Quite lively and delightful to sit in the lobby, have a drink, and talk with music in the background.
Restaurant - The hotel restaurant is lovely. Great food, attentive service, beautiful decor.
Service - We went to Luciano at the concierge desk for all our questions and he was both knowledgeable and attentive. When we gave him both positive and negative feedback about a restaurant we had just eaten at, he took the feedback and called the restaurant that day. Luciano helped with reservations, directions, everything.
The staff at Hotel Urso obviously have been hired for their friendly customer service and ‘can do’ attitudes. And they’ve been trained too. It was always so nice to walk down the stairs in the morning g or walk through the front entrance after exploring and be met with warm and friendly smiles.
We cannot recommend Hotel Urso enough! If ever we return to Madrid, this will be our hotel of choice."
