Review Hotel Mora Madrid
 |
| Hotel Mora Madrid |
The Hotel Mora Madrid is a popular hotel. It was very busy with American
tourists when I arrived. It is in a great location if you want to see
Madrid’s famous art museums; the Prado, Thyssen-Bornemisza and
the Reina-Sofia. The road outside is quite busy, but with so much to
do within walking distance, you’re bound to be out and about
most of the time!
Hotel Facilities
The Hotel Mora Madrid has its own café / restaurant downstairs
that does a 3 course menu of the day for 18 euros. There’s a
spacious lobby with an old-fashioned feel, that has sofas and armchairs
where you can sit and relax.

Business Facilities
A fax service is available.
Rooms
There are 62 rooms (some singles available) and each room has cable
TV, CH, telephone, safe and en-suite bathroom. I found the rooms to
be surprisingly modern compared to the entrance of the hotel, which
was more old-fashioned in style. They are decorated in bold Mediterranean
colours.
The front rooms have a view across the road to the trees and plants
of the botanical gardens that stretch out behind the Prado museum.
Hotel Location And Facilities
To stay in the Hotel Mora Madrid gives you quick access on foot to
the famous art museums of Madrid. Also directly across the road there’s
a market that opens in the mornings selling books, jewellery and household
knick-knacks.
Less than a minute to the right of the hotel is McDonalds and less
than a minute to the left is Burger King, so if a fast food craving
hits, you’ll be fine! Also on the same street within a minutes
walks you’ll find a couple of tapas bars. One of them claims
to have the best tapas in Madrid!
The Atocha railway station with rail links all over Spain is 4 minutes
walk away, and if you stroll up Calle Atocha itself (turn right at
McDonalds), you’ll find plenty of bars and restaurants. When
you get to the top of the road after about ten minutes, you’ll
be in the heart of Madrid and some of the city's most beautiful buildings.
Not to mention the enormous number of shops.
How To Get From The Airport To The Hotel
Via Taxi: A taxi from the airport will be about 35 minutes and cost
22 to 25 euros (including airport supplement), depending on traffic
volume, and assuming there is no extra baggage (that all baggage fits
inside the boot and interior of the taxi).
Via Metro: You can take various metro routes directly from the airport
to arrive at Atocha metro near the Hotel Mora Madrid. Line number 8
leaves from inside the airport between terminals 1 and 2. See the quickest
route below with the stations where you need to change listed:
Metro:Nuevos Ministerios (Pink
Line, L8) Then change and head for
Alonso Martinez (Dark Blue Line, L10) Then change and head for Atocha
(Light Blue Line, L1).
Via Bus: The red EMT public bus from the airport goes to Avenida America.
The number bus that takes this route is the 115. From there it’s
quicker to change to the metro, otherwise you have to change several
times and walk between stops.
In A Nutshell
The Hotel Mora Madrid is great value for money if you want a no frills
hotel that is modern and simple with good access to the city centre.
