Centrally located in Plaza España near plaza mayor and puerta del sol. Just across the subway exit. The hotel is beautiful and the staff very friendly. The terrace has a beautiful view of the city. The only negative thing about the hotel is the size of the pool but I did not have time to use it anyway

Great location but too busy
I love the location of the Roy as it is close to everything Gran Via. Metro station, bus stops, shopping, etc. The staff was great and helpful but it is such a busy hotel that you may experience waiting lines for check in, breakfast and elevators. The top terrace is the best.
