Find Cheap Hotels With Your Cheap Flights
May 30th, 2011
With a budget hotel stay, Madrid can be a fantastic travel value, even with the current poor Pound/Euro exchange rate. You might already have booked your cheap flights, however you can now find affordable accommodation. It's possible to stay in a really stylish place, right in the center of town, for around 100 pounds a night on a peak-season weekend.
For those on a very tight budget, there are a range of dirt-cheap hostels, which are not typical hostels with dorms but rather simple guesthouses that usually occupy a floor or two of an old building. The best rates are to be found in the old city center, which is where you want to be anyway in terms of culture and nightlife. From this central location you can walk to the three major art galleries, the Prado, Thyssen-Bornemisza and Reina Sofia, and dozens of Madrid's famed tapas bars are located on nearby streets. Madrid is a noisy, stay-up-late kind of city, so few places to stay here are truly quiet. For light sleepers, it is best to ask about interior-facing rooms.
