Room types

Central Palace Madrid has eight categories, with single and double rooms for one or two people. All have a private bathroom, air conditioning and a TV; the bathrooms include a shower, hairdryer and toiletries. Classic décor and wooden flooring feature in several options, while the interior rooms offer a stay without a balcony or city views.

The differences are in the space and outlook: rooms range from 10 to 40 m², including a double room with a balcony and panoramic views, and exterior categories with views of the Royal Palace. The 40 m² Premium Interior Double Room overlooks an interior courtyard and includes a fridge and electric kettle. The 30 m² premium room is on the upper floor and has a separate seating area. For solo travellers, both single options measure 10 m²; the economy room requires climbing a steep flight of stairs to reach the bathroom.
