Best Western Premier Santo Domingo - Madrid, Spain 

I booked a single room for one night's stay before my friends and I drove down to Algecira for the ferry to Morocco. My room was clean, comfortable, quiet, with all the modern amenities, including a safe. The hotel staff was extremely warm, helpful, courteous -- everyone from the front desk to the espresso maker in the cafe/bar just outside of the dining room. I'm not saying it's the Four Seasons, but for what it is, it was a really good value. It's also very conveniently located near the Plaza Santo Domingo metro stop, so I was able to take the metro right from inside the Madrid airport to the hotel. It is also walking distance to the Prado. After traveling in France and staying in some pretty shabby (and dirty) but so-called 'quaint' hotels, I really appreciated the cleanliness and comfort of this hotel; and the genuine helpfulness of the staff. I don't know what other people paid for their rooms, but I got a pretty good deal on mine, and even if I had paid up to 150 -180 USD per night, I think it would still be a good value, considering that it was summertime in Europe during peak vacation period.

Booked this through a friend and we got a twin room. We don't know each other particularly well. The beds were less than a foot apart. The room was ensuite and had the tv etc, but the wifi was not included in the (really quite large) price and neither was breakfast. The staff were friendly though, and there was a nice touch of leaving sweets on our pillows. The tooth fairy may not approve however.
