Hotel Zenit Conde de Orgaz, Madrid, Madrid

Advantages: Esxcellent location, spacious clean rooms
Disadvantages: Small reception area and lift.

I stayed in a single room (though it had two single beds!) for around £40 per night in March 2001. For that I got the room, ensuite bath with over the bath shower, toilet and sink, cable tv including pay per view movies, cnn, eurosport and sky news, a radio, and an alarm clock.
