Just returned from a lomg weekend at this hotel. It is not central but a No 1 bus from hotel to centre is about 10 /15 mins depending on the Madrid traffic, buy a metrocard for 9.30 euros for 10 trips anywhere in Madrid on bus or metro...the metro Cartegena is only 30 metres away. It is on a major road so try for a rear facing room, but the views from the upper non smoking front facing are interesting and the traffic noise level is reasonable.
Lots of local places to eat, with local prices compared to city centre.
The hotel is well appointed, breakfast is excellent but get an inclusive deal otherwise it costs 20 euro. The staff are excellent, friendly, helpful and courteous, we had a problem with bathroom plumbing that was resolved within 20 minutes after arrival, prompt and efficient.
Rooms are of a good size, beds comfortable and room service/housekeeping is very good with good quality bathroom essentials provided and quality towelling.
We wonder sometimes what other reviewers expect, we travel a lot, we are discerning and this hotel ticks most of the boxes for a capital city for about100 euros a night with breakfast.
A real bonus was the late checkout at 14.00hrs.
Madrid is a must see capital city.
