Hotel Riu Plaza España
Staff were great. Room spacious and clean. Breakfast was very good. Location easy and convenient. But as its on a main road, the noise at night was too loud. Woke up several times every night due to sirens, motorbikes, car horns.

Hotel Gran Versalles
Hostal Madrid Atocha
Small room for two. One side of the bed very tight to get in and out of. Don’t love the washroom with lack of privacy. Shower door is terrible and lots of water comes out. Normal eco hotel. Similar to Motel 6 in Canada. Location was good. Staff very nice. Would try elsewhere next time
