Advantages: Central madrid and very good service Disadvantages: Can't think of any
...This hotel is fantastic....but it should be at the price! I paid Euros 280 for a double bedded room with single occupancy on July 22nd. The hotel claims to be central and it is if Central means the terminal for the bus from the airport! But actually it is about two miles North of the city centre so be prepared to take a taxi for the real centre of Madrid from the hotel. I arrived at Madrid Barajas airport and decided to take a taxi. There is a bus advertised that stops outside the hotel but I am lazy! However I was ripped off! Officially it should cost about 15 Euros from the airport. I know because a colleague of mine took the same ride only one day earlier. My cab driver was very good at talking about my family, where I lived, have I ever been to Spain etc etc. When we arrived he was pointing out a good restaurant and when I...

Advantages: Excellent decor, great Regents Park location - within 2 mins walk of 2 tube stations Disadvantages: 4 star decor not matched by corresponding room size
...of London.
One very good thing about the Melia White House is that it is marked on maps such as the London A to Z. Once you cross the major road from the tube stations it's very heard to miss, there are pedestrian crossings which make this easier.
The lobby to the Melia White House instantly says 4 star. Although it has a low roof the decor and panelling is impressive.
Checking in you suddenly realize that this hotel has teleported in from Madrid. The entire check in staff is Spanish, illustrating the hotel's ownership (the Spanish Sol Group). Finding a receptionist who speaks good English is a roll of the dice each visit. Generally service is good. We arrived at 1pm on a Saturday and no rooms were ready. When we got a room on our return around 4pm our bags took 20 minutes to follow us up and the porter immediately left without waiting...

...will find plaza mayor,The area south of Plaza Mayor, is full of narrow cobblestone streets lined with 16th and 17th century architecture. From the Plaza, take Arco de Cuchilleros, packed with markets, restaurants, flamenco clubs, and taverns, to explore this district.
in calle cuchilleros you can see or eat in Casa Botín: 'World's oldest restaurant'.
if we surround the plaza we can take again calle mayor and go straight to find puerta del sol the most popular, crowded, eclectic, lively and commercial in all of Madrid. It is from here that you reach the famous streets: Preciados, Carretas, Arenal It is really THE place to meet, since it opens onto so many other places and because it goes from Arenal to the big part of Gran via.
In Gran Via you can see some of the best buildings in Madrid you should take this street to alcala enjoing an european...
