    Very central, easy to find location in the Chueca Neighbourhood. Staff at the café are very friendly. Our luggage was placed in a clean area in the back of the café. Cafe hours made it very convenient to drop off and pick up our luggage

    I checked Stasher in previous night and all are showing fully booked even though there are many places. So that’s why I used another company. I wished you to show available location a little clearer.

  • Gerry 3 years ago in Prado Museum
    Upon arrival, the merchant warmly greeted me. After I showed him my reservation details, he presented a hand-written copy of my reservation, thus letting me know they were expecting me. It was such a relief because I felt that this would be a legitimate transaction. No issues. Very professional.

    At first I paid for one storagge in Madrid and when I got there to leave my bags nobody was there to take them. It is amazing that I was able to write a Stasher’s consultant and they gave me discount code for my other booking. So everything worked out well.

    This service was a life saver for us! They stored our luggage for the day as we had to be out of our flat before noon but our flight did not leave until late evening. So easy and reasonably priced!

Getting to the Prado with luggage

If you're arriving by metro, Estación del Arte on Line 1 is about five minutes away on foot. Banco de España on Line 2 is a slightly longer walk at five to ten minutes. Atocha station handles Cercanías and long-distance trains and sits roughly ten minutes from the museum, so it's a realistic option if you're coming straight off a train.

Visiting practicalities and nearby sights

The Prado opens at 10:00 daily, closing at 20:00 Monday to Saturday and 19:00 on Sundays and public holidays. Entry is by timed ticket, so you choose a slot when booking. The Prado Museum is closed on January 1, May 1, and December 25, with limited opening hours from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on January 6 and December 24 and 31. Once you've sorted your bags, Parque del Retiro is a five-minute walk east and the Real Jardín Botánico is right next door.

The Reina Sofía Museum explores modern and contemporary art and is a natural follow-up if you're doing Madrid's big three galleries.
