Plaza de Pontejos

If you're travelling on a budget I would recommend this accommodation. I stayed in a single room with shared bathroom. The accommodation was clean and comfortable, though the room was very small - just enough room for a single bed and very small bedside table ... but it did have a TV. The shared bathroom was clean with plenty of hot water and good water pressure, though the shower cubicle is very small. As a lone traveller I felt safe there (5th floor and plenty of locked doors). My only gripe with the room was that it had no window to the outside - there was a 'window' which opened to the stairwell/lift and there was a lot of noise from this area until quite late at night. The location is good - a 5-10 minute walk to Gran Via, about 20 minute walk to the Plaza Mayor - with quite a few places to eat and small shops for snacks and beverages close by. Staff were friendly, though I didn't really require their services as only there for a few days.

Nice hotel, a bit far from downtown Madrid, quite area.

Excellent clean apartment in the centre of Madrid. Walking distance to Sol and Opera metro stations. San Miguel Mercado and Plaza Mayor just around the corner, so plenty of options for food. Although our apartment had a balcony to the street outside, we both slept soundly. Friendly welcoming staff and a daily maid service if required. Would definitely stay again when visiting Madrid.
