The hotel is amazingly clean and well-appointed. Not flashy, but very tasteful (even nice wall art!), with a welcoming lobby and cafe/bar/restaurant, separate from the large breakfast area. Nice, helpful staff. Area is residential, full of eateries, near Plaza Mayor, very walkable but close to transit of all kinds. So glad I didn't stay directly in the tourist areas, but close to everything. I felt more and more like a Madrileno in the rhythm of life in Madrid! I'd like to go back to Madrid and this hotel.
