The statue stands in the east side of the Puerta del Sol, where a small stone slab is found, making the geographical centre of Spain. Check out as well Cibeles statue, the emblematic Plaza Mayor, temple of Debod (one of the only four Pharaonic temples outside Egypt) and the Statue of the Bear and the Strawberry Tree – symbol par excellence of Madrid. In addition, it is highly recommended to see such landmarks as Almudena Cathedral and the Royal Palace of Madrid or Palace of the East, both located in El Madrid de los Austrias. It is one of the five royal gates that was giving access to the city before. Among these top Madrid points of interest is the iconic Puerta de Alcalá (1769-1778), built by Francisco Sabatini in the times of Charles III. However, some of the city’s tourist attractions visitors simply have no right to skip no matter how short their stay in the capital is. Would certainly recommend and use again without hesitation.When it comes to things to see in Madrid the list can be endless. However, still a wonderful hotel, on a sensible budget, very central, clean and lovely staff. Slight negatives was returning to hotel after 13.30 to find cleaners not having completed their work and so not possible to chill and size of room smaller than expected, but just about ok for 2 nights though we had several suit cases as going on to Lanzarote for a week after 3 days in Madrid. As celebrating a wedding anniversary they very kindly and unexpectedly left a small bottle of champagne and personalised card in the room. Offered to book taxi but there is a busy plaza and taxi rank 1 minute away so no need, but it was nice to have it offered. Sol and Mayor plaza a 5 minute walk and Retiro Park a leisurely 25 minutes even in heat. Very central and beside Opera house and very short distance to Royal Palace.
My wife and I enjoyed an excellent 2 night stay at Room Mate Mario.
