We spent 14 days at the Moderno, the staff is most friendly, you can walk to all the main sites in Madrid, lots of nice restaurants and bars close by. Will surely return there on my next trip.

The hotel is in the middle of Puerta Del Sol. Next to Burger King. So central that we kept returning to the hotel a few times a day to rest our tired feets or put down our shoping bags. We stayed on the 6th floor in a modern double room with a large terrace overlooking the main square of Puerta Del Sol. Nicely furnished room with clean & bright bathroom. Good & attentive staff too. They can even remember which room you are from.

The Metro station 'Sol' is a few steps from the hotel (look for the exit 'Mayor'). Very convenient. You can also walk to Plaza Mayor in 5min, Gran Via 5-10min, Real Palace 10-15min. El Corte Ingles mall is on the next street to the hotel (close at 10pm).Lots of shops & restaurants near the hotel so the area is always busy & crowded. Not a worry if you come back to the hotel late at night. Must try the Hot Chocolate with Churros at this place near the hotel called "Chocolateria San Gines". It is voted the best in Madrid. When you come out of the hotel, head right, past San Gines church, turn left on the next small alley on San Gines street.

If you're heading to the Barajas airport, take the Cercanias train from Sol. The Cercanias station (look like crystal fish) is on the opposite side of the square next to the Bear with Strawberry tree sculpture. From there, pay Euro 2.15 per person from Sol to T4. Buy tickets at the automated machine. Take Cercanias train Line 3 to Nuevos Ministerios (1 stop, 4 minutes). Then go up the escalator and make your way down another escalator to another platform for Line 1 to T4 of Barajas Airport. Make sure you take the Line 1 train to the airport Terminal 4. A few other trains leave from this same platform. This takes less than 30min.

Would definitely stay at Hotel Moderno again for its great location.

The Hotel Moderno staff was extremely helpful, especially Santiago ("Santi") Bello Gonzalez-Echenique, the manager. Santi gave us excellent suggetions about where to go, how to get there, and where to eat. The rest of the hotel staff was also very professional, helpful and friendly. Many spoke good English. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The breakfasts were very good. The location is great, if you want a central location in Madrid, with most attractions in walking distance and with a major Metro station one-half block away. An exceptional value for our family vacation.

It was our first time in Madrid and wasnt sure were anything was.
We followed the instructions from the airport and got there on first go.
We couldn't be happier. It was in the center of Madrid, you hardly need to walk two steps to nearest shops, bars and restaurants.
The staff were really nice and pleasant.
Always there and helpful if you need recommendations or directions.
Easy access.
The rooms are basis but very nicely decorated. Plain bed, nice bathroom and a wardrobe for coats. A tv in the bedroom and a nice balcony from where we could look onto everybody on the street. Double glazed doors so you couldn't here it all while sleeping.
A good experience for my couple, my 2 year old and me!
