We decided to visit Madrid in December to watch the 'Cirque du Soleil' show which was taking place there. (An experience not to be missed). We booked the Vincci 66 hotel online and it looked like a very nice place in a good location. In actual fact, we were right. This hotel is very centrally located on the Gran Via. The major sites (Porta del Sol, Prado, Palace etc.) are reachable by foot - although they are not exactly round the corner. However, the main shops are definitely within walking distance, as well as a very good selection of places where to eat. The hotel itself is very tastefully done. It is an old building (with a magnificent marble staircase), which has been converted to a more contemporary design. The interiors are very clean and striking - tending towards a boutique hotel style. The rooms are very comfortable - fully equipped bathrooms, light mood switches, minibar, etc. Soundproofing is excellent. The breakfast is very abundant and varied - exceeding my expectations. The staff was immensely helpful - especially in a city where communicating in English is not to be taken for granted. The receptionists/concierge were all very helpful and fluent in English, and they helped us greatly to book places, find directions etc. Vincci 66 forms part of a chain of hotels with the same name. If all the hotels carry the same standard, then it is one hell of a good place to look forward to next time.
Room Tip: AM not sure whether all the rooms have a bath (as opposed to a shower). Asking for one would help...
