NH Nacional
When the NH hotel chain took over this venerable railway hotel, they gutted the building and constructed a modern hotel inside the shell. The rooms are not very big, but from the wood-laminate floors to the granite sinks to the brushed stainless cabinet knobs and trim, everything is simple, robust, and modern. The desks are practical and include good task lighting and a comfortable chair. Location is great—a 5-minute walk to the Prado, the Reina Sofía, or the CaixaForum. The only shortcoming is that the Nacional hosts a lot of conferences and conventions and can get crowded when everyone needs to get out the door (or down the elevators) at precisely the same moment.
