1. Artistic B&B

Literary Quarter

"Fun place to stay. Very cool vibe and convenient location out of the tourist area. Loved having air conditioner on our hot visit to Madrid. Staff was extremely helpful at check in, storing our luggage and bringing it up the stairs. They even offered to bring it down again when we had to leave at 6am, but we declined. The only thing to be aware of is that its a tight space, especially the shower if you have any issues with claustrophobia. But overall we would definitely recommend!"
