The hotel was good, the flights were all on time and didn't have any issues. The stadium & match atmosphere was fantastic, best I have ever experienced. The service was very good from football breaks & would definitely use the again.
Take time to look at the tube, it's a great way to easily gets around. La rambla at night is just amazing.
we had a fantastic trip to see real madrid @ the bernabeu stadium.i did have reservations of going online and using a company i hadn`t heard of and ironically when we arrived at the hotel the tickets were not there(they actually were but the hotel had put them in the wrong safe).despite a small panic on my part the football break staff were excellent and sorted everything out.in fact the level of service from start to finish was excellent and i will definately use them again.
you need ID when shopping using a credit card. definately use the metro..clean/safe/cheap.
We went, as a family to see Real Madrid v Seville, and have a short city break in Madrid. The whole package was excellent, we were able to amend it to suite our wants. We stayed for 3 nights, changed our seats in the stadium, flight times and we were able to choose a hotel in Madrid’s old town. When we needed to speak to the representatives from FootballBreak they were friendly and very helpful. The match tickets were waiting for us when we checked into our hotel, and even though the match kicked off late (10pm local time) it was a great spectacle (7 - 3 to Madrid).
As we chose a hotel in the centre of the old town of Madrid and used taxis to and from the stadium. Whilst it was busy after the game, there were plenty of taxis (we only had to wait a couple of minutes) and they are not an unreasonable price. We also used the local taxis to and from the airport, again with no issues and very speedy. Madrid is a beautiful city and, for a capital city, the cost of eating and drinking out isn’t unreasonable.
Fear not ! This internet based company delivers. It was with some trepidation I booked tickets for El Classico as you pay for the package/flights/tickets upfront and the tickets are delivered to your hotel the night before the match. The booking process is straightforward and clever givng you the opportunity to match a hotel according to your budget/requirements, Rebecca was extremely helpful on telephone and by email contact, I received email updates, the hotel voucher arrived a week before as promised and the tickets were delivered to the hotel the night before the match as promised. Of course you accept you pay more than face value, but FootballBreak.co.uk deliver. I would not hesitate to use the company again. We had a great time.
Make sure you have arranged your transport back to the city centre after the match. Do not rely on flagging down a taxi!
Hotel staff friendly and could speak fairly good English. Hotel itself was quite noisy and room smelt of cigarette smoke. Great seats at the football and would would recommend clients to pay for the upgrade to better seats. Madrid was great and interesting for a few day visit,
Upgrade to better seats and do the stadium tour.
