You could not get a hotel more centrally located, it's right on the main shopping street in Madrid.. that said, the decor is Russian sterility meets the swinging '60s. the room i was in was bland grey , but the bathroom was almost all done in orange tiles that are a bit of a shock when waking up. there are blackout shutters on the windows and as I was on a room facing the inner courtyard, it was quiet. TV is off-air, so little if any english programming. No issues with the wifi.There is air conditioning and a ceiling fan. After hours you must buzz the door on the street to gain access, then again when you reach the floor of the hotel. You leave your room key in a box next to reception. If you have heavy bags, you will have to negotiate a set of steps before you reach the elevators, that or the almost 45 degree angle ramp next to the steps. The staff speak very little english. I was only there for 3 nights and, for a place to sleep, it was just fine.
