I've enjoyed reading your report and like danon, am very impressed with your children's stamina and adventurous appetites!

It's nice to know that the Petit Palace Lealtad Plaza worked out well for your family. Their family rooms with bunk beds can be a money saver, as not many nice hotels with great locations in the city offer quad rooms. And the area around the hotel, close to Retiro Park, is really beautiful and handy for both the park, dining in the Retiro district and for the Art Triangle.

Thanks for taking the time to write your report. It will be helpful for families with children headed to Madrid.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your trip with us. I'm headed to Madrid for the first time in a few weeks and am taking several ideas from you...helpful even to those of us NOT traveling with children!
