There are many things for tourists to see and do, in the Spanish capital, and there are also many excellent Spain travel deals on accommodation within Madrid. However, if you have never visited the city before, you may not know where to look to find the best deal. In this post, I will begin to help you with your search by introducing you to a reasonably priced hotel in one of the most exciting areas of Madrid.
The accommodation I want to look at with you today is the Hostal Gran Duque. Located at Calle Campomanes 6 in the center of Madrid, the hotel is an excellent value. The building is a former hostel that has been converted into two star accommodation situated in an area of Madrid which is ideal for tourists.
The Gran Duque offers good basic amenities for your money. You will find internet access, a tourist information desk, and a light breakfast is available to you here. The staff is quite helpful to travelers, and the building itself is nicely maintained and attractively decorated.
Due to its location in the heart of Madrid the Hostal Gran Duque is well served by public transport. You will find that the building is very close to the Opera metro station, offering you easy and inexpensive access to any area of the city you might wish to visit.
You won’t have to venture far for meals either, as the Gran Duque is nearby to a wide variety of bars and restaurants where you can find inexpensive meals, and authentic Spanish cosine. When you are ready to start touring the city, you will find yourself within very easy walking distance of Spain’s royal palace, and the city opera house.
You will also be quite close to the Puerta del Sol, and the Plaza Mayor. These are two of the busiest most vibrant areas of the city, and they offer many places for the tourist to Madrid to explore. With prices around 70 Euros ($102 USD), per night for a double room, Hostal Gran Duque offers one of the better Spain travel deals for tourists planning to stay in Madrid.
