Hotel Location And Facilities
The Carlton Hotel Madrid is 10 minutes walk from the Atocha train station, and Reina Sofia museum in an area that is predominantly residential, with a few shops, banks and bars. When I walked up Paseo de las Delicias there were people selling flowers too.
Opposite the hotel you'll find a bank, post box, a café-bar and a jewellery shop. And if you should feel hungry at any time, there's a branch of Open Cor 24 hour supermarket 50 metres away.
The 10 minute walk towards Atocha station brings you closer to the city centre, which is another 10 minutes walk (or metro ride) up the hill of Calle Atocha.
