Center to most attractions in Madrid - we walked to Puerta del Sol where Kilometer zero and the famous bear/tree is, Plaza Mayor, Mercado de San Miguel, Chocolateria San Gines (must try, very yummy), Royal Palace of Madrid, Almudena Cathedral. We also walked to Palacio de Cibeles, and El Retiro Park. Nearby also are branded stores like Hermes, Louis Vuitton, Dior, etc which you could passby on the way to Puerta del Sol. Lot of restaurants nearby, there's a coffee place next door. Our room was in the corner room with balcony/nice view. It was spacious considering Europe is known for small hotel rooms. It has an elevator for those heavy luggages. Since the hotel is near where the actions are, you could hear people outside. But it didn't bother us, we were so tired walking all day. There's grocery stores nearby for water & other supplies. Highly Recommend!
