San Lorenzo de El Escorial is home to the Monastery of El Escorial, a World Heritage site. This huge complex was built as a monument to commemorate the Spanish victory over the French in the battle of Saint Quentin. Construction lasted 21 years and when it was finished in 1584, the Monastery was the largest building in the world, with 24 km (14.9 mi) of corridors. The building includes a library, Kings' Courtyard, Basilica, and the Palace of Felipe II. The Kings' Pantheon is the burial place for most of the kings of Spain since Carlos I. The Monastery is decorated with works by the most prominent Italian and Spanish painters of the time. Look for works by Titian, Bosch, El Greco, and Velázquez, especially El Greco’s painting of "The Martyrdom of St. Maurice.”

The Sercotel Florida is a 3 star hotel located very close to the Royal Monastery of El Escorial, Madrid. It has 50 rooms perfectly equipped for family stays and for stays as a couple with our rooms with Jacuzzi. We have 2 meeting rooms with a capacity of 90 people, for this reason it is considered perfect as a business hotel.
Very close to the town sights, particularly the monastery, but no views. Room was disappointing because the bathroom extractor fan was not working (and not fixed during our two nights stay) nor was the room temperature controller. The walls allowed a lot of noise from the next room to disturb us until 3am on the second night. Staff were generally very helpful, but the place had a run down feel to it. Breakfast buffet was good. We were on a group tour so our experience might be different to solo travelers.

We visited the restaurant of the hotel on a not so busy evening of May, this is the experience my family and I had - They were quick on assigning us a table, the person who received us, quite kind and efficient - After waiting for 15 mins or so, there was no sight of someone to bring or tell us the menu, we had to go to the nearest table for the carte. - When the waitress arrived, we ordered some eggs me sandwiches, she took note and left. After some time she came back with one plate, we would’ve shared of said plate if on the table was any cutlery, we weren’t served forks, knifes or napkins, so we had to ask her for them, it again took time ?? - The eggs were served with some chips that appeared burnt and after waiting some more time, about 30 mins, no other plate was on our table. We then had to ask for clean glasses and I asked for my sandwich to be cancelled, seeing that it was taking so long. - After that, we tried the eggs, which were not so good, we asked to cancel the other eggs and to bring instead another sandwich. The waitress was loosing her patience, told us that it was a problem from the kitchen’s side, that she only served and that’s it. In my humble opinion, when in teams, it doesn’t cut it to criticise your own people, it’s about unity to provide the best service and have a good working environment. - I took a quick trip to the bathroom, wasn’t able to use it tho. There were four stalls and a baby changing table, the floor was sticky, there was piss in some WC and dirty paper over the table. - When I arrived back, we asked to speak with someone who wasn’t so irritated at our requests, the person who attended us was extremely polite and that’s one of her reasons our experience here was not a total disaster. We cancelled everything except the water and waited for the note. -Since no one came to tell us what to pay, we stood up and went to the nearest waiter to ask for it. He asked his colleague for it, the waitress that had attended us was visibly angry and tried to debate the issues we had. A scene was about to begin when the manager stepped in and tried to ease tensions, he succeeded but the waitress answered in a very poorly mannered way. - We were invited to the water by the manager and he apologised profusely. They’ve had issues since the afternoon since one of their teammates fell doing laundry. Im taking some time into writing this review because truly this experience was not the best, if I were to read this review I would guess it’s from a motel or small restaurant, yet this is supposed to be a renowned place. Sadly dissatisfied and disappointed to be honest, we hope change comes to this lovely 19th century building.

This is the worse place I have stayed in, I booked a superior room, what I got was a soulless, bare, uninviting place to spend as little time in as possible. Nothing of comfort to be had, no mirror, hairdryer, nasty cheap sachet of shower gel, not even a bottle of water to be seen. Damp patches on walls, basic furniture that was once used by monks, and now they are charging good money for it. When I spoke to the manager he said " we don't have any stars" then they shouldn't portray it as if it has. Pictures on line show a nice modern bathroom, what we got was a horrible old one that I couldn't Bare to shower in, and it's supposed to be a superior room.Do not stay here if you want to relax and enjoy a nice meal and a good night's sleep, this is for people who are looking to experience staying in a monastery, it most certainly wasn't portrayed like that online . Restaurant and public areas are unheated and so cold you have to keep your coat on, having travelled from UK on the ferry overnight then driven for 5 hours this is not the experience I needed.
