The Arenal is a short stroll from the puerta del sol square along one of the high streets. Taxi's cannot drive along the street that it is situated on, so it is likely that you will be dropped nearby - it is not easy to find when walking along the street - i had to ask a friendly policeman for...

Nice clean hotel, nice modern rooms, the shower was a blast 3 different water sources that all work at once. Nice breakfast unlike some of the other Spanish hotels we have stayed in. The only thing I didn't like about it was the room had no view and there are no tea and coffee making facilities, oops almost forgot one... More

My family and I stayed in the family room with at this hotel, which was GREAT. It was clean, well decorated and very spacious for only four people. I was really impressed, especially for the price we payed--the shower was a bit intimidating will all the knobs, but the bathroom was large and clean (not typical of European hotels I've... More

I had not been to Madrid in many years but wanted a hotel in the old town. This small hotel is a blend of modern clean tech within a restored historic building. I had a Juliette balcony overlooking the narrow street. My room (304) was small but very clean, great lighting and fab shower. Free wifi and use of laptop... More

The hotel kind of reminded me of a hostel (in a good way), the reception is small and it has this informal style. The room is kind of... More

Located on walking distance from the beautiful Puerta del Sol and Plaza Mayor. My double room was rather small and cheaply furnished. Friendly & multilingual staff, Good breakfast buffet. Good p[lace for a weekend city trip.

The rooms were nice and clean but they are really cheaply put together. The fixtures are cheap and loose. The paint job in the bathrooms is bad. The mattress is cheap and nasty and the sheets don't fit it so you end up sleeping on the bare mattress half way through the night. The major issue is that the walls... More

Very easy to travel from the hotel to many attractions in Spain. We walked or took the metro from Sol. The highlight of the room was the violinist that was playing outside in the afternoon. Beware that there is a cabaret show across the street so expect some sort of noise til about 5am.
