Why we love it

The setting

Novotel Madrid Center sits in the Salamanca district on the east side of the city. O'Donnell metro station is about 300 metres from the hotel, so the metro gives quick access to the rest of Madrid. The streets around the hotel mix quiet residential blocks with cafes and shops, while the main museum row and the old town stay within easy reach.

What to expect

The Standard Double room comes with a queen size bed and a sofa and measures around 25 square metres. It has a private bathroom, free Wi-Fi and air conditioning. There is a rooftop terrace with seating and city views, plus a bar and lounge. Breakfast is not part of this rate but can be added at the hotel for 26 EUR per guest. Rooms are non-smoking and the price shown is non-refundable.

Things to do nearby

The WiZink Center is the nearest point of interest at about 222 metres, handy if you have tickets for a concert or a basketball game. Goya metro station is roughly 442 metres away and the Nuevo Teatro Alcala sits around 533 metres from the door. For art, the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum is about 2.1 kilometres away on the city's main museum stretch, right beside the Prado.

Best for

This suits a couple who want a comfortable base with good metro links rather than a hotel on the tourist trail. The Salamanca location works well for anyone attending an event at the WiZink Center or planning days around Madrid's museums.
