We just returned from Madrid where we spent 4 nights at the fabulous Hostal Adriano . We found this hotel thanks to this messge board and so glad it is were we decided to lay our weary bodies! The decor is adorable...bright, clean, friendly, great location...just steps from Sol metro and Plaza Mayor. The beds were so comfy, down comforters and great pillows! The only negative would be the thin walls between rooms which could be a bit noisy at times, but nothing to bad and only 55EUR or about $72.00US. Also we did the Walks of Madrid ( www.walksofspain.com ), it was really fun, Andres is a great host and knows all the great places to go, If you want a night out and want someone else to do the thinking I would recommend you call him and book the tour! Had a great time in Spain........Karen
