Reporting another winning bid for my trip to Europe. Regular rate of $80 per night. I used the BB PRICELINE link. Any tips on things to do in the area, places to see, food to eat?

I like this area although "further" from the historical busy section. I have stayed here several times for my work. We also eat a couple blocks away ( crossing the castellana ) at Donde Michel. www.dondemichel.com

Buses are your friend here. Buy a 10 ride pass from a metro station or pay as you go.You are very near the good shopping. Easy bus ride to the Prado area/Thyssen/ train station area. The American Embassy is around the corner, literally.

You will enjoy the outdoor cafés along the Castellana at night between the hotel and the Centro Cultural/city Hall at Cibeles Plaza. Just take a taxi back to the hotel or nice stroll.

Breakfast places leaving the hotel to the right up towards Calle Serrano. Usually coffee, toast and juice 3-4euros. But in August many small local places on side streets will be closed.

Enjoy.
