Círculo Gran Vía Hotel

Location was phenomenal. Staff was great. Hotel itself was very nice. Only downside was no noise at all in room. As no noise from a/c. With it being so quiet you could hear the street noise all night long. Like people partying and sirens off and on. It’s on a busy street so needs some kind of little noise machine to blend out the outside traffic and noise.

My husband is a titanium member so we stay at a lot of Marriotts! Location, location, location is the old real estate adage & this applies to this hotel. It’s in a perfect location for tourists. A 15–20-minute walk in either direction takes you to the Prado or the Palacio Real (Royal Palace). We loved this location & you will also. Its on a busy street with lots of shopping & restaurants. NOTE Uber cannot legally access the Gran Via so be sure & take a taxi! Pros: Excellent front desk staff & bottle of water upon check-in. We were upgraded to a suite with an inside courtyard view which we preferred since there was no noise. The suite was beautifully appointed. Living area with couches & tables & chairs & separate bedroom & bathroom. It overlooked an inner courtyard & that was what we wanted as it was very quiet. We stayed several nights. The hotel entrance was separated from the ****** which we liked. Free glass of wine at the bar for titanium members. Lots of places to eat nearby & we liked Vinitus tapas bar close to the hotel that they recommended. Cons No lobby seating area & nowhere to sit beside restaurant, bar or your room as there is no lobby. The breakfast buffet was either 30 or 35 euros & very disappointing - not worth it but we got it for free as a titanium. The buffet was very small & they quickly ran out of croissants & never replaced them even though we were there before 8am one morning. Service was below Marriott standards. Buffet did not have a large selection of food. Below average breakfast buffet & service for a high-end hotel. Hotel does not have the WOW factor, like so many other European Marriott Hotels we have stayed at. See my review of the Barcelona Cotton House. Only a 4-star hotel because breakfast was not up to par & there was no lobby to sit in. Also, no glass of cava is offered upon check-in like the Cotton House in Barcelona. Conclusion - although we liked the location, I would try another Marriott on our next visit.
