Great place tucked away from central Madrid, but easy access to everything via the metro close by (easy walking distance). Young man at the desk spoke great English and was very helpful (and sincerely nice, unsually). Room was facing street, but windows were double-pane and VERY quiet when closed and steel shade lowered. Overall, was very happy with the area and the hotel. If I stay in Madrid again, I will stay here. For the price, it's a steal.
