Madrid and Sevilla Hotels - 02/11/02 10:38 AM
Okay, I've finally bought my ticket to Madrid! I arrive on May 3 and return back to Edmonton on May 15. My rough plans are to spend the first four nights in Madrid which includes a daytrip to Toledo. Then I will take either the bus or train to Granada for two nights, a full day which will be in the Alhambra. I guess I should buy my tickets in advance, correct? Then I am off to Seville for five nights and back up to Madrid for my final night before the long return home.
Now, I need to finalize my hotels. In Madrid its down to: Hotel Europa , CarlosV , or the Regina . I started a previous thread on the Europa and would like an opinion on wheteher the substantially more expensive CarlosV or Regina is that much better compared to the Europa especially with noise and room sizes. I am willing to spend more for less noise the first few nights in case I need to nap during siesta and want some quiet time. Also, I did a search on Hotel Simon in Seville and couldn't find anything. Anybody ever stay here and opinions por favor? I am also faxing Las Casas de la Juderia today to see if I can get in. I'm treating myself this trip as it's been a long time since I've had a solo adventure like this and, to use the cliche, you only live once and I think a decent place will help with my peace of mind in a far away place.
Thanks so much for your help, this has been an amazing place for assistance.
Also, what bus do I take to get to Granada from Madrid?
