Hotel Plaza Mayor

Hotel Plaza Mayor

We booked this hotel in February for September, and I think this is the only reason we got this hotel room at all, considering the reasonable rate they charge. All other suites I saw in the centre of the city were about twice as much (although they may well have been bigger/better?). It is the only suite in the Plaza Mayor, and it is right at the top of the building.

The room is a loft conversion that has been done quite well, giving it a rustic feel with the comforts of modern living. The air-conditioning was a Godsend for Madrid in early September, but the thing I loved most was the amount of space in the room, something I really missed at the next hotel we stopped in. The balcony was also a great feature for a city hotel, giving a place of privacy if you wanted to worship the sun or simply a great place to sit at the end of an evening and look over the rooftops. The bathroom was modern and functional, although the tiling looked like it might need re-doing soon. There is a frosted glass wall between the shower and bed, so this may not be the ideal shared room for those not intimate.

Other features included a fridge, TV (with some satellite channels) and video, comfy chairs, and a free room safe. We were more than happy with this hotel, and apart from the 5- to 10-minute walk with a heavy suitcase (my fault, not the hotels), I could find little to fault it. I would definitely stay there again.

The hotel staff here was very friendly and accommodating. We had a lovely room with a view, and the room was tidy. The minuses: only one English channel on the TV, horrible soundproofing from neighboring rooms, with some street noises, and firm beds. The location was excellent, but we would definitely recommend earplugs if you wish to have a restful night's rest. The location was just 1 block off Plaza Mayor and 2 blocks from the action at Puerto del Sol.
