What guests think

Across reviews of Porcel Ganivet, travelers praise the walkable La Latina location near metros, clean modern rooms, friendly staff, and a good breakfast, while noting a small rooftop pool, street noise in front rooms, and occasional maintenance or heating/AC quirks.

Room sizes vary, with some triple and street-facing rooms feeling tight, and several guests finding the mattresses quite firm. TV offers limited English channels and in-room extras such as kettles are uncommon; the rooftop area may be closed in the off-season. Overall, expect a practical base in a lively area.

The pool on top and fabulous breakfast every day was great. The parking was crazy expensive but good. That was the only downside. The place was in the heart of Madrid so you could walk to major spots from the hotel or take a short taxi.

The hotel and rooms were clean. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Only downfall was learning that since the weather was cooler, the AC was turned to heater. We had to sleep with the windows opened all night, which brought in all the noise from either the hotel or streets. And, although they had a pool, it was closed due to the weather. There were days it was raining so we had to stay in. There were no activities to do in the hotel, other than stay in and watch TV. The TV was set only for Spanish speaking. We found other channels speaking in French or German but no English. There was no way of changing the language or being able to connect to our own devices to watch Netflix. Aside from the above inconveniences, the hotel did offer great breakfast and great location to walk anywhere. And, as I mentioned, the staff were very accommodating.

Expedia call it a rooftop pool ....it most certainly is not that . The Hotel call it a jacuzzi , that is exactly what it is . At best 3 x 10 metres , and a depth of one metre ..with a max capacity of 10 people . If you are looking for somewhere to cool off after a long hot day sightseeing , look elsewhere . That is the only fault I could find with the Hotel in question . Check in and out took minutes ..the 10 Euro breakfast is awesome .,,the best 10 Euros worth you will ever come across . Excellent access to public transport with bus and metro stops minutes from the hotel . Countless ,local bars and restaurants within easy walking distance , even in last week searing heat . So to sum up , excellent hotel , but Expedia way off calling the rooftop area a pool ..

Excellent hotel walking distance from the main centre & metro & bus links nearby. We had a terrace top floor (additional nominal cost) was bigger than our room . Could have sun loungers & hot tubs on them it was so big. Pool was small but a large terrace that you could sit. Spoilt by kids trying to use as a swimming pool as it was so hot. Who brings kids to a major city for holidays. We ended up sitting on our terrace to get peace & quiet. Staff very helpful breakfast was good . Would go back & get a terrace 😁

Sehr gut im Zentrum von Madrid gelegenes Hotel, modern ausgestattete und sauber gehaltene Zimmer. Sehr gutes ausreichendes Frühstück mit lokalen Spezialitäten, frisch gepressten Orangensaft. Personal ist bemüht und freundlich. Elektrotankstelle in der ersten Eber Tiefgarage ist vorhanden, jedoch nur für ein Auto. Am besten im Vorhinein reservieren. Pool im fünften Stock ist nur 1 m tief und ein paar Quadratmeter groß, maximal geeignet für Kleinkinder.

Great location close to 2 metro stations with cafes restaurants and supermarket very close by. Parking was a bonus (€19 per night). Lovely friendly team, bar on ground floor where some of the guests gather for a cleansing drink after a warm day in the city. Also very good value. Undergoing improvements currently which will make it a really lovely place to stay.

All around a below average experience. The rooms are small, the staff wasn’t welcoming, the location is alright. The beds are uncomfortable, the walls are thin and our room was at the end of the hall near the cleaning closet so all day and night we heard clattering from the cleaning people going in and out. The AC unit can’t be operated from the room so it was very hot. WiFi was spotty.

The hotel was a decent location and walk to SOL and old town of Madrid, but be aware, the street was filled with loud people and cars and motorcycles. I am certainly not opposed to a good party or people having a good time, but it was loud all the way 4/6am for the three nights I was there. If you stay here, ask for a non street facing room and have ear plugs on the nightstand.

Sem contar o quarto que ainda se encontrava com resquícios de obra. O hotel não oferece o que promete, me senti muito mal enquanto estava hospedada. A pior experiência da minha vida, nunca me senti tao mal em um local quanto nesse hotel.

The hotel is comfortable and clean, the breakfast is good, and access to the metro and buses is convenient. However, I was deeply disappointed by the hotel management’s lack of sensitivity and unwillingness to waive the charge for one of the four nights that were booked and prepaid. It was clearly explained—also through Expedia—that my flight was canceled by the airline and I had to rebook on a different one. As a result, I ended up paying for the same night at hotels in both Madrid and Paris. While I understand that the booking was non-refundable, this request was for a single night and due to circumstances entirely beyond my control. This is exactly where a hotel manager's judgment and empathy are tested—not just their business mindset.

El hotel está muy bien , pero nunca, nunca coman en la cafetería.. la comida es congelada, de la que se compra en el súper y calentada en el micro, aunque el precio es de restaurante. No se engañen con la carta, la foto de la misma ni siquiera es del restaurante… el problema se solucionaría si el restaurante no cerrará a las 21:00, ahí si, el desayuno está muy bien, pero nunca alcanzamos a la cena por q recién llegábamos al hotel y ellos estaban cerrando. La cortesía en el hotel por parte de los funcionarios no tiene que envidiar nada a un 5 estrellas.
