A perfect hotel for groups
Catalonia El Retiro was perfect for us! We were 16 people in the group and I wanted a hotel that could offer twin rooms and a pool. So this was a perfect match! Jose and the rest of the staff was very service minded and the booking process was flawless. The pool area was great and the rooms had good beds. The metro station is not far away and it was easy to go to the more central parts of Madrid.I… Catalonia El Retiro was perfect for us!

The furniture was worn and broken, parts of the flooring were damaged, and even the telephone was not connected. I complained and was move… I stayed at Catalonia El Retiro in November 2025, and I booked it because of the strong ratings on Booking.com and its advertised four-star status.

Catalonia staff sets the standard for competence and professionalism in the hospitality sector. Top notch!
El Retiro Madrid is the second Catalonia hotel in which we’ve stayed. The hotel staff and services far exceeded our expectations. In our experience, Catalonia offers superior value for the accommodations. The multi-lingual front desk staff was incredibly patient and helpful with local recommendations. In particular, Monica helped me considerably with my very broken Spanish. Although I wasn’t mocke… El Retiro Madrid is the second Catalonia hotel in which we’ve stayed.
