"Loved Velazquez!!!"Posted: Mon, Nov 23 2009Value:
3This hotel was fabulous!! My cousin has lived all her life in Madrid and when I asked her to help me out with a hotel she told me stay in Gran Velazquez...she said "do not stay in a hotel in the Gran Via because it's not a very good place to walk at night time". When I went online and saw the room pictures, I was not impressed, but being the case that she has lived all her life there, I knew it had to have a charm. Was she right! Ask to stay on one of the rooms that are double, but bigger (I believe they call it a junior suite. The beds are very comfortable and very spacious (you rarely find this in Europe). It also had a farely big balcony. Everyone was very helpful and friendly. You also have a butler that is a very good magician!!
Our trip consisted of 5 hotels (one of them in Barcelona which we paid $400.00/night) and at the end of our trip, we asked each one of us...."what hotel did we like best? The four of us said "Gran Velazquez"!
