“What this Madrid stay lacks in luxury, it makes up for in location and attentive service. Situated near Gran Via, it places guests in the heart of the action, close to transport, shops and the reassurance of a nearby police presence. A practical choice for those prioritizing location and value, with the personal touch of responsive staff.”
