3 Star Hotels in Madrid

This selection of 50 three-star hotels spans the city, from the historic centre to the airport, with a typical nightly price of €73. The best-rated in the group is B&B Hotel Madrid Centro Puerta Del Sol, scoring 8.9, while budget-conscious travellers can find rates from €41. What unites them is a focus on prime locations and essential comforts—often a rooftop terrace, 24-hour reception, and easy metro access—rather than luxury extras. Whether you're here for the museums, the food, or the nightlife, these hotels put you in the heart of the action without the four-star price tag.

Frequently asked

What is the average price of a 3-star hotel in Madrid?

Based on this selection, you can expect to pay around €73 per night for a 3-star hotel in Madrid, with rates ranging from €41 to €204 depending on location and season. The most affordable options are often near Puerta de Toledo or the airport, while central properties near Gran Via or Puerta del Sol tend to be pricier.

Which area of Madrid is best for a first visit?

For a first visit, stay in the central area around Puerta del Sol or Gran Via. This puts you within walking distance of the Royal Palace, Plaza Mayor, and the Prado Museum, and you'll have excellent metro connections. Many well-rated 3-star hotels like Hotel Europa and Petit Palace Puerta Del Sol are located here.

How do I get from Madrid Airport to the city centre hotels?

The metro (line 8) connects the airport with Nuevos Ministerios, where you can transfer to the city centre. Alternatively, the Airport Express bus runs to Puerta del Sol. For hotels near the airport like Holiday Inn Express or Zleep Madrid Airport, a shuttle service is often available for a quick transfer.

Are 3-star hotels in Madrid walkable at night?

Absolutely. The central areas where most 3-star hotels are located—Sol, Gran Via, and the Barrio de las Letras—are lively and safe at night, with restaurants and bars stay open late. You can walk from Puerta del Sol to Plaza Mayor or the Royal Palace in under 15 minutes, making it easy to enjoy the city's famed nightlife.

3 Star Hotels in Madrid

Madrid's three-star scene is a game of location. For the price of a basic room elsewhere, you can be steps from Puerta del Sol, with the Royal Palace, Plaza Mayor, and Gran Via all within a short walk. Many of these hotels are converted townhouses or smart new builds, offering rooftop terraces, modern amenities, and a level of polish that often rivals higher-starred properties. The catch? Rooms can be compact, and breakfast is often an extra — but the city is your living room.

Prices here typically range from €41 to €204 per night, with a typical price around €73. You'll find clusters of three-star properties in the central districts: around the bustling Puerta del Sol, along the elegant Gran Via, and in the charming Barrio de las Letras. Further out, near the airport and Príncipe Pío, you'll get more space for your euro, often with free parking or easy transit links. The 28 highly-rated hotels among this selection show that in Madrid, three stars often mean smart, central, and great value.

The bottom line

Three-star is the sweet spot for travellers who want Madrid's centre without paying a premium. You get solid comfort, unbeatable locations, and often a rooftop terrace or stylish design, at a price that leaves room for tapas and flamenco shows. If a pool is a must, check the 4-star options; if you're happy with a simple bed and breakfast, the cheap and budget hotels page might stretch your euro further. For those travelling with family, the family-friendly page shows apartments and larger rooms, while the airport page lists options near your flight.
