A large wooden-floored lobby-cum-bar area is a good place to relax and order a drink nice lobby.

Calle Montera is the focal point of Madrid’s downtown red-light district, so if you don’t want to have to wend your way past scantily clad prostitutes and their shifty-looking clients, this hotel is best avoided. However, in this open-minded city, the seedy goings-on in this part of town simply don’t perturb the locals, so why let them bother you?
This three-star hotel is simple, modern and smart, with the benefit of a super-central location (equidistant from the Prado Museum, the Royal Palace and the Reina Sofia Museum of Modern Art) without the expense. It has 38 rooms and suites, all with striking red-and-gold-striped bed-covers and large wooden headboards. Some are loft-style rooms with skylights, and three spacious rooms are specifically designed for families.
