Radisson RED Madrid
Great central location near El Retiro Park and Botanic Gardens, the Prado and Reina Sofia museums and the Atocha train station. Nice, clean room on high floor overlooking the Calle de Atocha so lots to look at although it can be a bit noisy at night like any city.

Novotel Madrid Center
Breakfast was incredible and I believe kids eat for free. Location is very central and the front desk was helpful. Not a hotel for you if you are seeking cultural charm, but very comfortable and easy. Room was not spectacular but was serviceable.
