Location was perfect. Right in between Plaza Mayor and Puerta Del Sol. But also not so close that it was loud if anything was going on at Sol (was there recently during pride). Very walkable to major tourist attractions. Rooms were nice. Bed was comfy. Appreciated the breakfast in the morning which had quite a bit of variety. Would absolutely stay here again.
