Great location and helpful, friendly staff. Right in historic heart of Madrid within 20 minute walk in any direction to key sights. Veryclean room. Only down side was our room was little narrow and laid out in awkward L-shape. Also, no microwave or coffee maker or small fridge was provided in room. Those items would have made the stay perfect. Otherwise, great building and location and friendly staff. Mil gracias!
