Excellent location for us, easy walk to Prado, Reine Sophia and Thyssen galleries, Plaza Mayor, la Latina and the Royal Palace. A wide choice of eating places in the surrounding streets. Several small supermarkets close by.
The hotel serves breakfast E23 per person which we didn’t take. There is a small bar with snacks and a room service menu. The bar attendant will supply ice to take to the room.
Reception staff are very welcoming and very helpful. We, more by accident than design, booked a fully disabled room which was on the ground floor, opening onto a small courtyard. I expect rooms on higher floors, especially at the front of the hotel, would have pleasant views.
The room was large by Europe standards, had air-con, a desk, two chairs, good shelf and hanging space, TV, with two English language news channels, minibar, a safe and tea/coffee tray with lots of choice, but only one of each item, and was not replenished. We found the light switches confusing.
Taxi ride from the airport is currently a fixed E33 plus small supplements for weekends or late night. Taxis can be hailed on the streets and seemed plentiful even in pouring rain.
