Please follow-up your previous Hotwire Aruba thread with whatever you ended up doing for that stay... then bump this thread and we'll have a look at the above.

Please remember to follow-up your threads with whatever you end up doing for the stay (even if it's cancelling the trip)

The property above is a match for the Tryp Atocha so that would be my best guess.

Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

Let us know how it goes or if we can be of further help.

This could be a number of hotels. It also has a trip advisor rating of 3.5 with last review in June.

The most likely would be the Rafaelhoteles Atocha or Tryp Atocha as they have been apearing on other alternative distribution channels. Hotels in Madrid have even been having many buy 2 get one night free offers.

Then the list continues with the Petit Palace Alcala Torre, Petit Palace Plaza del Carmen and while unlikly the

Best Western Premier Santo Domingo fits and could have changed their discription to get a higher rate as their normal listing is not appearing and they are the most frequent 3.5 to come up.

You can win them for much less on Priceline and you can even sometimes find 50-60 euro rates on some local or their own websites for 4 star hotels in Madrid. That said, it looks like a couple of your days are higher rate days in Madrid. You can even get an advance purchase rate of just $79 way out at the Hilton Airport 5*, and if a Delta FF they have bonus offer now. It is not a great option for a long stay though as remote.

While I would never choose the Princess Melia that is the 5* in 'el centro', you can get the 5* INTERCONTINENTAL MADRID for only $102 now on HOTWIRE and do not know why you would consider any of these very average hotels when that luxury property is available.

While the Avenues in Madrid can seem very distant on the map, that area is in the heart of the real madrid and transportation links are incredible with most bus lines running every 3-5 minutes making the Prado museum within 10 minutes and the Salamanca district, madrids most fashionable starts just accross (3 minutes) the Castillana.

Good luck choosing your best option.

I didn't book it, I found a cheaper solution for that trip : Compostela suites (50 euros per night). Thanks anyway!
