Spain - recommended hotels

Please mention MarksTravelNotes.com when contacting these fine establishments. I have stayed at all these hotels.

    Madrid

  • Catalonia Moratin (Atocha, 23. 28012 Madrid) - Very well located and comfortable hotel in central Madrid. Close to Plaza Mayor and walking distance to the Prado Museum and the Museo Thyssen Bornemisza. Does a decent if unremarkable breakfast.

  • Seville

  • Vincci La Rabida (Calle Castelar 24, 41001 Sevilla) - Excellently located in the heart of Sevilles Old Town and walking distance from the impressive Cathedral and the bull ring. The rooms are spacious, comfortable and organised around a central internal courtyard - which provides a satisfying sense of space. Breakfast is quite enjoyable and in a spacious, airy breakfast room. There's several restaurants, pubs and bars in the area - most of which come alive later in the evening. One of the nicest hotels I've stayed in Europe.

  • Valencia

  • Vinnci Lys (Avenida Martinez Cubells 5, 46002 Valencia) Under 5 minutes walk from the train station and around 10 minutes walk from the Old Town and Cathedral, the Vinnci Lys is well located. Rooms are reasonably spacious and comfortable. Reception staff are well informed and helpful. Has a decent if unremarkable restaurant - the restaurant across the road is better, imo, and does decent paella.

  • Zaragoza

  • Husa Via Romana (Don Jaime I, 54-56 50001 Zaragoza) - Right across the road from the Basilica-Cathedral of Our Lady of the Pillar (Catedral-Basílica de Nuestra Señora del Pilar) Husa Via Romana is as central as you're ever going to get in Zaragoza. Facilities are basic, clean and functional. Good value for money.
