“This family-owned hotel places you steps from Puerta del Sol and a short walk from Madrid's best art museums. I found the soundproofed, air-conditioned rooms to be a real advantage, as is the 24-hour reception operating out of the Victoria 4 hostel a few doors away. For travelers prioritizing location and a good night's sleep, it's a solid option.”
