About

Melia Madrid Barajas

Melia Madrid Barajas sits 15 km from Adolfo Suarez Madrid-Barajas airport, with a free shuttle that guests repeatedly call fast and efficient. The hotel also offers car rental, making it a practical base for exploring Madrid or the surrounding area.

Rooms are spacious and comfortable, with soundproofing to keep airport noise at bay. The seasonal outdoor pool, sun terrace, and garden offer a place to unwind between flights. Dining is a highlight: the breakfast buffet earns frequent praise for its variety, including churros with chocolate, fresh juices, and made-to-order options.

The hotel is also well-connected by metro — the station is about 400 m away — and is close to the IFEMA convention centre, making it a sensible choice for business travellers as well as transit passengers.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Airport shuttle that guests rely on — A free shuttle runs to and from the airport, and multiple reviews call it fast and efficient, with one noting it runs 24/7.
  • Breakfast that gets singled out again and again — Guests describe it as 'marvellous', 'incredible', and even the best they've had, praising the variety — from fresh juices to churros with chocolate.
  • Quiet, comfortable rooms — Soundproofed rooms and comfortable beds are mentioned, with guests appreciating the peace despite the airport proximity.
  • Strong location for transit and events — 15 km from the airport, a metro station 400 m away, and close to IFEMA — making it easy to reach both flights and the city centre.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Dining scores below the rest — The dining category rates 6/10, the lowest of all categories, which suggests the restaurant, while adequate, doesn't match the hotel's other strengths.
  • Rooms and cleanliness have room to improve — This category scores 7/10, lower than location and service, and some critics mention the rooms, though comfortable, aren't spotless.
  • Pool hours are limited — One guest notes the pool is only open from 11 am to 8 pm, which may not suit travellers with tight schedules.
  • Metro connection to the centre is lengthy — Getting to Puerta del Sol involves at least three transfers and about 45 minutes, so it's not a quick hop into Madrid's core.
