Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Facilities are modest for a five-star — While rooms and service score high, the hotel's facilities rating is noticeably lower, suggesting fewer on-site amenities than some peers.
- Price reflects the premium — Rates start at £434 per night, which is a significant investment for a city stay.
- Parking may be limited — The hotel offers parking, but on-site parking in central Madrid can be limited and is likely at an additional cost.
- Location is a bit outside the main tourist hub — While close to museums, the Chamberi district is slightly removed from the very center, so some attractions require a short taxi or metro ride.

9.1Verified guest“The room had been renovated and the design was lovely.”
9.1Verified guest“Breakfast on the terrace was wonderful, and the room was quiet with a very comfortable bed and a large bathroom. The location could not be better for accessing the restaurant, public transport, or taxis, and it's a short walk from the Alcion Art Gallery.”
9.1Verified guest“An excellent hotel with strong Wi-Fi, a helpful 24-hour reception, and a pleasant lounge. On my first stay, the staff arranged for my forgotten items to be returned, and Bruce was quick to assist during a minor issue.”
9.1Verified guest“The service was outstanding—friendly, personal, and always with a natural smile. They organised theatre and museum tickets and restaurant bookings, and were extremely attentive. They even provided a small radio when we asked to listen to our own music. The rooms are very comfortable and spacious, especially room 416. We visit Madrid regularly and this will now be our hotel. Thank you to everyone at Orfila for making our stay memorable.”
9.1Verified guest“The service was absolutely first-rate.”
9.1Verified guest“Staying here felt like being a guest in an aristocratic family home. The charm of the lounges and dining spaces made our evenings special, especially the wonderful tapas offered instead of a formal dinner. Excellent service.”
