The hotel is seems pretty basic for a 4-star hotel, but it is well-maintained and clean. The 'double' bed is actually two single beds pushed together. The TV is a small (old black-box style) and turns off by itself for no reason. The location of this hotel is best part - it is a 5 minute walk to the nearest... more

This hotel is a five minute walk from the main Atocha train station, so the location is ideal for someone planning to take a day trip to Toledo or planning to leave for anywhere else by train. It is also very close to the Museum Reina Sofia which has an area of cafes and restaurants in front of it. I... more

Given the incredible deal, suffice to say breakfast wasn't incuded but we were happy to grab brekkie along our way to sight-seeing. Hotel is close to two metro... more

This hotel was a great value. There were three of us, so we booked 2 rooms, each about $75. Parking is in a convenient lot around the corner, about $12 euros. The location is good for the Reine Sofia and Atocha, about a 20 minute walk to Puerta del Sol and 15 to Prado. The rooms were small, but clean... more

Our choice for this hotel in Madrid was based on a combination of the reviews here on TA and the price (EUR 80 per night including breakfast and taxes) and we were not disappointed.
