This is an excellent boutique hotel right in Madrid center. A special and artsy feature of this hotel is the spiral stairway which contains a mural of various iconic places in the city, and a wrought iron style railing. We could walk everywhere. The staff are very friendly and helpful, and will show you where to go. High marks for Ferial and Carol at the front desk! The room including beds was very comfortable and had a pleasant view of the balconies and street, yet was quiet at night. The breakfast was quite good, though note the better value for pre-paying it the day before. Some nearby great restaurants are Pickwick (for tapas, try the cod croquettes, amazing), and La Rollerie (amazing value, five star quality, try the chicken Cordon Bleu).
