Why we recommend it
Hotel Liabeny is a dependable four-star hotel in the very centre of Madrid, on Calle de la Salud, a short street between Puerta del Sol and the Plaza del Callao. Its great strength is location: Gran Vía, the shopping streets of Preciados and Arenal, and the main sights of the old town are all a few minutes' walk away, yet the hotel itself sits slightly back from the busiest thoroughfares.
The hotel offers classic, comfortable rooms in a range of categories, suitable for couples, families and business travellers. The style is traditional rather than trendy, and the focus is on practical comfort, with the essentials you would expect of a four-star city hotel. The hotel's restaurant serves Mediterranean and traditional Spanish cooking, which is convenient after a long day of sightseeing, although with so many restaurants and tapas bars nearby most guests will want to explore.
This is a good choice for first-time visitors who want to walk everywhere. From the hotel you can reach the Plaza Mayor and the Royal Palace on foot in around ten to fifteen minutes, the Prado and the Thyssen in around twenty, and the theatres of Gran Vía in two or three. It suits travellers who value convenience and good value over designer touches, and it works well for shopping trips, as the department stores and fashion chains of Preciados are on the doorstep.
As with any hotel in the centre, the area is lively until late, particularly at weekends and around Gran Vía, so light sleepers may want to ask for a quieter room when booking. Check the official website for current room types and breakfast options. The front desk can help with restaurant recommendations, transport and tickets for sights such as the Royal Palace.
Callao metro station on lines 3 and 5 is around two minutes' walk away, and Sol, with metro and Cercanías trains, is about five minutes. Gran Vía station is also close. The Monasterio de las Descalzas Reales, a royal convent with a remarkable art collection, is a few streets away, and the Mercado de San Miguel is a pleasant fifteen-minute walk.
