Traveling with small group of over 40's. Have been assigned to Apartamentos Gran Via 65 in Madrid; Hotel Tryp Macarena in Seville; Hotel Century Park in Barcelona. Does anyone have any comments/reviews/advice about any of the listed? This is a fairly inexpensive but reliable travel planner. We have been happy with them before but can find little info other than property owned sites and they are not very objective.

We're looking for a clean place to sleep, hoping to not share bathrooms and convenient to explore the cities on our own. We're not looking to change a booking, just be prepared.

Don't know about the others, but the Tryp Macarena in Seville is listed as a 4-star property. The Tryp hotels are part of the Sol Melia chain. You can find some info on the hotel by searching the Sol Melia web site:

Hi there!

I have stayed at the Apartamentos Gran Vía in Madrid and it was fine!
It is one block from the Plaza de España and a few blocks from Callao. (the shopping center where El Corte Inglés department store is located). They had a very nice breakfast area in the hotel. The beds were comfortable and it was very clean. No complaints...I think you will be happy there. Enjoy your trip!
