“Right on the Gran Via, the location is undeniably the main draw. I found the accommodations simple, verging on old-fashioned, but functional for a short stay. While some practical inconveniences exist, such as limited outlets and temperamental TV reception, the central location makes exploring Madrid incredibly easy.”
