We were only in Madrid for an 8 hour layover but Im so glad we got to stay here and are already planning another trip just to come stay here. Its like less that 10mins from the airport, 6 minutes from the metro. It has a pool, a mini fridge for snacks, a microwave & kettle - which I appreciate as a disabled person with celiac disease.
