Madrid: One to Five Nights For Two With Breakfast from £35 at Hostal Suite Alhambra

Snuck amid the neoclassical spires, chattering plazas, and laidback cafes of central Madrid, the Hostal Suite Alhambra provides a chicly convenient hideaway at the heart of Spain’s grand capital. The city weaves its metropolitan streets around the flow of the Manzanares River, which cuts a stately swathe past hushed art galleries, voguish retail districts, and a wealth of homely eateries. By night, the skyline sparkles with floodlit monuments and bridges, while secluded bars and tireless clubs keep spirits up into the early hours.

The Hotel

Intermingling classical motifs and modern flourishes, this city centre hotel offers an elegantly accommodating base from which to explore its vibrant environs. The Hostal Suite Alhambra conceals its 30 bedrooms within the splendorous second floor of a former palace, and decks out interiors with hardwood flooring, contemporary furnishings, and soundproofed walls for added placidity. While encircled by a host of handy metro and bus links, the hotel also lies within a brisk stroll of landmarks such as the Royal Palace, San Jerónimo el Real church, and a clutch of inspiring museums such as the Prado.

Groupon Recommends

Warm up for cultural excursions with a five-minute foray to the Puerta del Sol, or ‘Gate of the Sun,’ where a clutch of the city’s most iconic buildings and monuments flaunt their 18th century grandeur amid high-end boutiques and high street favourites. Once shopping bags are loaded, take a breather from the hubbub of the centre with a stroll through the regal bounds of Retiro Park, which populates 350 acres of manicured gardens with ornamental ponds, statue-strewn parades, and a lively crowd of local buskers. Similarly colourful sights may soaked up at the Reina Sofía Museum, the galleries of which hang with 20th century masterpieces by such Spanish greats as Picasso, Dalí, and Miró, while its innovative design intertwines glass towers with the stonework of an 18th century hospital.

Reviews

TripAdvisorsaward Hostal Suite Alhambra a super 4/5 stars. While some reviewers comment on noise, they eagerly praise the central location, comfortable rooms and fresh decor, and helpful personnel.

It's really steps away from Plaza del Sol and even closer to great food and fun places … The hotel was very clean and kept in nice condition. The room was very spacious, bathroom modern. The balcony great for people watching. Staff very friendly. Breakfast was included in the hotel rate and was off site at an [sic] restaurant just around the corner. A choice of a large sandwich and selection of fruit and cheese as well as Coffee and fresh OJ was plenty for a good start to the day ...
