This was a relatively nice hotel, all though, not outstanding. What makes it so nice is that if you are planning to take the train to another city in Spain, this is the hotel for you. We took the train from Madrid to Seville and thought that we were still going to have to take a taxi to the train station the next morning since we had a big piece of luggage with us and didn't want to be walking the streets of Madrid with it. However, it is only a small block away from the hotel to the station and not a problem to haul the luggage up the street from the hotel...probably a 5 minute walk. Besides, there are a lot of travelers doing the same thing so you are not in the minority. Great tapas bars around the station and the hotel. The room, all though clean, is cold (in a design way), and not very inviting. It is updated but not a room you want to stay in for long periods of time. There is a nice T.V. and a lot of space to store clothes but you do not want to spend hours in this room. Better to walk the streets of Madrid and take in the sights.
