A comfortable hotel next to a Madrid subway station
When we first arrived in Madrid, we chose to stay at the highly-rated NH Madrid Nacional Hotel. 📍The location is super convenient, right on Paseo del Prado, 48 Barrio de Las Letras. The Prado Museum and the subway station are just a few minutes' walk from the hotel, making it extremely convenient to get around!
Since opening in 1925, this hotel has been a favorite among travelers. 🚪The hotel offers 24-hour front desk service, and check-in and check-out were very smooth. The lobby has a safe and currency exchange service, and the entire public area is covered with Wi-Fi, which is very thoughtful! The elevator goes directly to each floor, which is very convenient to use 👍. The hotel is also equipped with a restaurant, bar, and a stunning garden, as well as a hair salon, room service, and laundry service! 🚗If you drive, the underground garage and ground parking lot will give you peace of mind.
Our room was not only equipped with air conditioning, but also central heating, a balcony, a minibar, and a safe, making it very comfortable and safe. The bed is a pull-out double bed, and the mattress is just the right firmness, so we slept very well 😴. There is plenty of office space in the room, which is suitable for handling urgent matters. The bathroom is fully equipped with a hairdryer, shower, and bathtub, and is clean and fresh! The toiletries are also of good quality, and feel as familiar as the ones at home. The room is cleaned every day, and the Wi-Fi signal is good 📶.
The best thing is the location of the hotel, which is a great place for hikers! Nearby are the Prado Museum, the Reina Sofia Museum, and the Thyssen Museum, and a little further away are the Puerta del Sol and the Royal Palace of Madrid, all of which can be visited on foot. There are also countless restaurants in the area 🍽. The NH Breakfast is rich and varied, with more than 20 kinds of tea to choose from, which is really eye-opening. It can be said to be a good start to the day!
Speaking of the surrounding area, I must especially recommend the nearby Gran Via, which has both high-end luxury stores and many unique small restaurants. We had a super authentic Spanish meal at Los Montes de Galicia nearby, which was very satisfying 💯.
In short, the experience of staying at the NH Madrid Nacional Hotel was great, and it met all my expectations in terms of transportation, service, and room comfort. If you are traveling to Madrid, you might want to choose this place as your base! ✈️🌟
