About
Espahotel Plaza Basilica
Espahotel Plaza Basilica sits in Madrid's Tetuan district, an area mixing modern malls, the landmark Gate of Europe towers, and leafy residential streets. It's a straightforward 3-star property that leans on practicality: functional rooms, a 24-hour reception, and easy access to the city via nearby metro stops.
Guests repeatedly mention the roomy accommodations—many with separate living areas, kitchenettes, and balconies—and the attentive, efficient staff. The hotel also offers on-site parking, which is a notable convenience in Madrid. While the decor won't win design awards, the combination of space, service, and location keeps visitors returning.
