3 great nights in Madrid

The De Las Letras is a lovely hotel in a stellar location in Madrid. I spent most of my time out and about in the city, so I can't really comment on the bar or restaurant or other services in the hotel. What I can say, though, is that the location was perfect, the building itself was very attractive, my room was clean and well cared for and I really had no complaints upon checkout. If I could have wished for anything, it would have been a shower with stronger water pressure, but it wasn't a major problem.

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!
