“From what I gather, this is a practical home base in Madrid, especially appealing for students and budget-minded travelers. The hotel stands out for its location in the energetic Malasaña neighborhood, steps away from the Argüelles metro stop. I picture guests starting their day at a nearby café, then easily exploring the city's main attractions.”
