Stayed here for two nights in late May, 2008. Perfect location - nice, clean, well run hotel - very attentive and courteous staff. Only downside is trying to drive to the property. Suggest one park at a public lot near El Corte Inglise on Gran Via and hoof it 10 minutes (without bags) to hotel for directions and inner-city driving waiver. Easy after that. (Parking cost 12-24 Euros a night depending on available garage - ask for NH hotel lot if available).
Hotel is all about location. One block from Plaza Nuevo, near lots of tapas bars, restaurants, turistic shopping. 10 minutes from "normal" shopping. 20 minutes (beautiful) walk to Alhambra. Easy to take the circular walk around the Alhambra in one hour without stops.
Very clean and accommodating. Got an immediate upgrade due to electrical problems in a basic room, so had a unique experience here- thanks Africa!
