Across the rather busy road is Atocha station which has rail connections to other cities in Spain. The great thing is that right outside the hotel are several bus stops, a taxi rank and the metro is less than 1 minute walk. You won’t be stuck for transport options from this hotel!

Turning left out of reception and left again at the corner takes you onto Calle Atocha. If you follow this uphill for 10 minutes you’ll be right in the centre of Madrid’s commercial shopping zone. If you find you have too many bags to walk back, you can take the metro from Sol to Atocha in 10 minutes.
