"This is a splendid hotel: a gorgeous building in a convenient and quiet location (walk to shops, restaurants, and the Retiro park--even the Prado). Understated elegance in the light-filled rooms, with high ceilings and floor-to-ceiling French doors, every service you could ask for, and warm, personal service from everyone, especially Luciano the outstanding concierge and the gracious hostess in the breakfast room. After the first day, everyone remembered our names and what we like for breakfast. We were sad to leave, and you will be too."

"My wife and I stayed at the URSO with family for several days in early March 2026. The hotel is centrally located, the facilities are beautiful and the staff are unfailingly warm and helpful. Luciano, the concierge, was especially helpful!"

"I loved everything… The well appointed lobby, the beautiful breakfast room, the perfect location and our room."

"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."
