Hostal Residencia Don Diego - Madrid, Spain     

Excellent location. Very clean and comfortable. Customer very attentive. I recomend.

Hotel is located on Velazquez in Barrio Salamanca. Very good location for business. If you stay here reserve a double at least the singles are unbearable, too small. I stayed here a few times during the past couple of years. In the winter it can be 75 degrees outside in Madrid, but they keep the heat on in the hotel. They will not turn on the air conditioning. Hotel is average clean and has a cleanliness issue. They do a good business with older Spanish people from outside Madrid. The younger crowd goes to more updated hotels for about 30% less. The staff is not helpful. There is no security after 10 or 11 pm your on you re own. The hotel is on the 5th floor of the building. Apartments and offices downstairs. The cable CNN etc rarely work at all. I haven t been back in a while after the cleaning got worse, TV didn t work, and air conditioning was turned off in winter. FOr 70-80 euros you get a good NH hotel around the corner and a good diverse business and tourist crowd. Don Diego is where the people in Madrid send their grandparents or inlaws they don t want to stay at their own houses. A geriatric ward on the weekend.
