The Best 3 Star Hotels in El Escorial from AED 161

El Escorial was built by King Philip II in the late 16th century to serve as both a royal palace and as the seat of the Catholic Church in Spain. In addition to the palace the complex includes a basilica, a convent, a school, a library, and a pantheon.

While El Escorial is impressive from the outside, we actually found it a little austere on the inside. In many ways it felt more like a fine art museum than a typically elaborate European palace (such as Versailles). That said, there are some impressive sights, including works by El Greco, Bernini, and Giardini. The library was also quite beautiful, with richly carved wood shelves, a marble floor, and a colorful fresco ceiling by Pellegrino Tibaldi.

For me, the highlight of the tour was the 180ft long (55m) Hall of Battles – a barrel-vaulted room where the walls were completely covered in frescos depicting Spain's military victories over the Moors and the French. All aspects of the battle field were portrayed (when you have 180ft, that is quite doable), and the artist employed an interesting trick whereby the more distant, smaller scenes were less saturated, and the background mountains and landscape were set in hues of blue.

Overall I'd say El Escorial is worth a visit, but you probably won't need more than a couple of hours to enjoy it.

Ramada by Wyndham Madrid Tres Cantos

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent"

Hotel Galaico

10/10 Excellent

"This is our second stay at Galaico in 3 months and the second time was as good as the first. Lovely welcoming staff who are happy to help with anything, comfortable and warm rooms (probably a little too warm for me but we opened the window and turned off the heating and it was fine!) We haven’t eaten in the hotel so can’t comment on the food. The housekeeping staff are very welcoming and polite. I will definite stay here again - and will likely be returning at Easter. "

AYZ Joaquín Pol - Auto check-in property

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed at AYZ Joaquín Pol for 4 days and were very satisfied with our experience. The apartment was exceptionally clean, located in a safe neighbourhood with convenient bus stops nearby and shops just a few minutes’ walk away. The check-in system was seamless, allowing us to access all doors directly through a simple email link. The apartment featured a spacious terrace and reliable air conditioning, which made our stay very comfortable. We also appreciated the availability of filtered hot and cold water in the communal hallway. Everything was well organised, and we never needed to contact the hosts. Overall, an excellent stay at a great price and highly recommended."
