When in Madrid last week, myself and a friend stayed at the Catalonia Moratin Madrid hotel on Calle de Atocha. The location itself was great although the staff where a bit slow at times. The rooms are spacious and airconditioned (essential right now, believe me I'm still in Spain!!) Prices were pretty good, especially for the location.
