Artrip
This small hotel in Madrid’s up-and-coming Lavapiés neighborhood is a joy, and what really stands out is the warmth of the welcome and sense of local pride. The tall, slim townhouse has been smartly renovated to make the most of the limited space. The white-painted rooms have simple, clean lines, good-quality bathroom fittings, and comfortable beds. The exposed beams above your bed on the top floor are perhaps a little low for comfort, but they do add character. There’s no restaurant, There’s no restaurant, but delicious breakfast pastries are available in the lobby, and coffee is free all day. Admire pictures by local artists while you refuel. The hotel is conveniently close to the Reina Sofía museum, but because Lavapiés is at the bottom of one of Madrid’s few hills, it feels a little removed from the main tourist areas. The nearby Metro will whisk you back up to the center.
