Beautiful palace! I highly recommend visiting if you are in Madrid. Book your tickets in advance on this site, you will get in quickly without having to wait in line and save on the ticket price. I am very satisfied!

I took both the Red and Green routes. The sights along the routes were great. However, the audio guide does not match the sights very well. Most of the time, we would have past the monument before hearing about it. The conductor on the Green route made some announcements but his English was hard to understand. The location of the bus stops are not well marked and some are different from the map. We missed stop 9 of the red route and had to wait for the next bus.

The app is rubbish. The bus stops are difficult to find. I thought I could find the nearest bus stop with the app but the app is totally useless. The bus route map should be provided or downloadable upon purchase of tickets

Shorter line than the one without advance tickets. But still have to stand in line. It depends on the time you go, sometimes the line is not bad later in the afternoons.

This is a very good hotel. Words cannot describe how much I want to thank her. When my daughter dislocated her leg and couldn't move, I was upset and asked the lobby staff. She was very kind and helpful. I want to say thank you. I'm glad I stayed at this hotel.
