we recently stayed 2 nights in madrid at the sunotel amaral and will return next week since we liked it so much. while it is not in an action packed area such as grand via or plaza del sol, there is a good selection of restaurants just down the street from the sunotel. the metro is a 5 minute walk from the hotel. the neighborhood is quiet enough that we were able to leave our window open at night without having the street noise that you would have in the busier section of madrid. this was necessary because the climate system had been changed to heat -- but the weather was too warm for the heat, so we shut it off in our room and opened the window.
our electrical adapter did not fit the outlet -- the hotel maintenance man was kind enough to give us one that took care of the connection, which meant we were able to use the (free wifi) internet. the breakfast buffet was included,so we ate there. there was plenty of selection, but if it was not included, i would not have eaten there for the 14 euros per person charge. one note -- if you are american, skip the pastries, which are not at all sweet ( however, the savory ones were quite tasty).
the room was clean and spacious. the shower was strong. the bed was firm and comfortable.
overall, i'd say the hotel provided just what we look for in a hotel while vacationing -- not a luxurious place, but a clean comfortable space to shower and sleep.
