About

Hotel Sancho

Hotel Sancho sits in Arganzuela, a riverside district along the Manzanares with Madrid Río Park's footbridges and green spaces nearby. The Royal Palace is about 2 km away, and Delicias metro and train stations are a short stroll, making it easy to move around the city.

The hotel pairs antique touches with modern comfort: think parquet floors, allergy-free rooms, and a sun terrace with a library. Breakfast is a generous buffet, and the 24-hour reception means late arrivals are no problem. Parking and EV charging are available, which is a plus in central Madrid.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

3 reasons to book
  • Location that guests repeatedly praise — The hotel sits in Arganzuela, minutes from Delicias metro and train stations, and within walking distance of the Railway Museum and Madrid Río. The 9.0 location score reflects this convenience.
  • Rooftop terrace and quiet courtyard — A sun terrace with a library offers a relaxed spot, and inner courtyard rooms are described as very quiet. Guests specifically call out the rooftop as a highlight.
  • 24-hour reception and genuinely helpful staff — Reception is staffed around the clock, and guests note staff going out of their way—returning lost items, and suggesting local restaurants. This consistency shows up across several reviews.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Breakfast quality can be inconsistent — While some guests find the breakfast buffet satisfying and good value, the dining category scores a 7.2. If breakfast is a make-or-break for you, it's worth checking recent reviews or eating elsewhere.
  • Rooms and cleanliness score slightly lower — At 8.0, this is a solid score but below the hotel's overall 8.7. Some rooms may feel dated or less polished compared to the public areas.
  • No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a dog or cat, this isn't the place—pets are not permitted on site, so plan accordingly.
  • Check-in ends at midnight — Check-in runs from 12:00 to 23:59, so if you're arriving after midnight, you'll need to arrange something or risk losing the reservation.
