Where to stay in Madrid

Advice on budget, affordable and luxury accommodation in Madrid

Budget accommodation in Madrid

For cheaper accommodation, visitors to Madrid should stay in hostels such as the Los Amigos Opera Backpackers Hostel, which is situated next door to the Opera House and Royal Palace, or the centrally-based Mucho Madrid. It is worth bearing in mind that Madrid's late, late social scene can make it tricky for light sleepers to catch 40 winks if staying in the centre.

Affordable accommodation in Madrid

Madrid is full of good-value hotels as well, with many based in the city centre, meaning savings can be made on travel. For a few more euros, there are plenty of hotels to choose from in Madrid, such as the perfectly located Senator Gran Via and the Hotel Plaza Mayor.

Luxury accommodation in Madrid

As usual, those with wads of cash should look out for the Ritz, which sits proudly near the Prado and Thysseun Museum, while the Castellana Intercontinental offers a luxurious alternative.
