Advantages: An exciting city Disadvantages: can get hot in the summer
...Madrid is a great place for couples or friends on a short city break.
If you are looking at staying in Madrid you could do a lot worse than take a look at the Hotel Regina. The hotel is a 3 star establishment on Calle Alcala, which runs directly into the centre of the city at Puerto del Sol. In fact this hotel is little more than 300 yards from the centre of Madrid.
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.
A buffet breakfast was also included. I was able to choose from cereals, coffee and tea, orange juice, doughnuts, croissants, rolls with jams and butter, and a selection of meats.

Advantages: Many things to see, Great underground subway, Nightlife Disadvantages: Many "risky" places,
...Madrid... I have lived in Madrid for 17 years almost and I never regret having done so.
Madrid is an excellent city that offers a variety of tourism for any culture. It has a great selection of good restaurants and bars that come from national selections to international/oriental gourmet but its all superb.

The best thing for me is the "football life" as madrid has home to one of the most prestigious clubs in the world "RealMadrid".

If you were to visit Madrid I would recommend 5 things "must see".
-Plaza Mayor (many small typical spanish restaurants + shopping)
-Santiago Bernabeu (football...

Advantages: Excellent value for money Disadvantages: Wine is very expensive
...The hotel provided very good value for money. Breakfast and dinner were included in the package we chose and were a buffet with a large variety to choose from. The hotel room, although not luxurious, were very comfortable and had a beautiful sea view. The beach was private and cozy. Just remember to take shoes along for protection against sea urchins in the water.
Within a short walking distance were an ATM, a shop and taxis. Next to the shop area, tour operator Car de tours (776-0880, cardetours@yahoo.com) gave us excellent service at a much cheaper price compared to the hotel tour operator. We used the tour operator in the end for all our tours and excursions and were pleasantly surprised at his hospitality and knowledge of the island. For a real local and fun experience, we recommend his services....

We had an enjoyable stay at this hotel.
What sold the hotel to us was its look. It has a traditional colonial appearance; a Madeira building that guests must have stayed at a 100 years ago. It has its own unique character and is such a contrast to all... more
