The Artrip is a nice simpler option for those not needing lots of hotel amenities (gym, bar/restaurant, pool, etc.). The location is a couple blocks from a Metro stop, which is the best way to get around Madrid, and has many choices around it for a morning cafe/snack or other eating/drinking needs. The staff are very helpful and friendly, the rooms are comfortable and clean and surprisingly quiet with the windows and shuttler closed at night, as it's on a busy street which is loud with them open. We enjoyed our stay here and would consider staying again if we returned to Madrid.
