I travelled to Madrid with my girlfriend for 3 nights. We stayed at the Petit Palace Alcala Torre and enjoyed the relaxed comfortable atmosphere of this hotel. The rooms were modern, clean and were serviced well daily. The Shower was great (over head and side sprays) and the bed was very comfortable.
We took the Metro from the Airport and arrived at Seville station which left us right outside the door of the hotel. The hotel is in a safe central place, surrounded by places to eat and within walking distance to all the major sites. The people behind reception were very helpful in advising us on what to see and how to get around the city. This hotel is ideal for a couple not looking for anything more than a comfortable, modern clean room with friendly staff.
If I ever go back to Madrid for a short stay, I will be booking into this hotel.
I have been in Madrid three times and this was my first one in this hotel. It is a nice facility, with a very good location near to the center of the city and metro stations. Is a good option if you want to enjoy the old Madrid.

Booked on Hotelbook.com and got a really good rate. the loaction of the hotels is fab but this "Hi-tech" hotel is probably only 3star material and service is somewhat limited. the room was dark and noisy, and the bed only had a single cover to the matress and then another single sheet over. Because this area of town is lively you need to be prepared for street noise throughout the night!
The bathroom in my room looked great bit was more style over substance and the shower instantly flooded the whole bathroom floor.
Breakfast (on 5ft floor) was generous but eggs looked as though they had sat their all night
The Sevilla Metro station is just around the corner. The Prado and train station are walkable in about 15-20 minutes. Starbuck's is across the street, and Gino's and VIP restaurants nearby are good. Alcala Torre service was good. Four of us stayed in a family room (with computer with free internet) for 3 nites.
