The view over the plaza is breath taking, especially if you catch the royal military guard riding past, with kettle drums pounding and the sun glinting off their helmets and chest plates.
Its a great place to explore the historic centre of Madrid, with an unending number of small eateries and shops to please even the most jaded of travellers.
Wifi lightening fast, and a host of well thought out comforts to make the stay that bit nicer. Dispite closeness to the plaza almost zero noise gets past the wooden shutters.
