Yet another budget accommodation in the heart of the city is Ibis Madrid Centro hotel. It is an ideal base point to discover the prominent Gran Vía, Puerta del Sol, Plaza Mayor, Palacio Real, Catedral de Almudena or the El Prado, Thyssen and Reina Sofía museums. It is placed in the Malasaña district, close to the Bilbao metro stop, Plaza 2 de Mayo and close to the Colón financial district. The peaceful and well-lit rooms come with various amenities. A word of advice is to avoid check-in into lofty rooms that are larger in size. They do offer good light with extra windows, but it's not worth the extra cost. The hotel has provision for buffet breakfast, 24-hour snack/bar, laundry and free WiFi.
