Places to Stay in Madrid Spain

To enjoy Madrid like a local, Jonny recommends visiting “barrios” (neighborhoods) of the city, all have a different vibe – Malasaña, Las Letras, Goya, Chueca are a couple of well known neighbourhoods and each have their own flavour, vibe and speciality.

To get the full Madrid experience I would recommend an AirBnB. Allows you to get a vibe for the different neighborhoods of Madrid and much cheaper. Average price 20-30 EUR per night.

Luxury Hotels, Perhaps Hyatt Centric Gran Via (from 100 EUR night) or Gran Melia Palacio Los Duques (240 EUR night) Take peek here.

There are shops, restaurants and bars in each one that are worth checking out. Something not so well known is that there are mountains in Madrid about 1hr outside of the city (La Sierra de Guadamarra). Worth a visit for hiking and getting out of the busy city. If you go in winter you might even be lucky to get snow!
