Great all the way around!

We stayed at Hotel de Las Letras for 2 nights and loved it! The location is perfect--just a 5 minute walk to Puerta del Sol and 7 min. to Plaza Mayor. We didn't need to take any public transportation to see the sites. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The rooms were a fine size for Europe--comfy beds, clean, contemporary design. We loved having a beer/wine at the end of a full day on the rooftop!
