Although unassuming in style and a bit outdated, this 1960s hotel near a plaza (and several department stores) between Gran Vía and Puerta del Sol has large, comfortable rooms with floral fabrics and big windows. Interior and top-floor rooms are the quietest. Pros: Centrally located, near Princesa's shopping area. Cons: Small rooms and bathrooms, crowded and noisy neighborhood.
