Inside you'll find it refreshingly modern, with many Mediterranean blues, yellows and greens. The reception area is spacious and air-conditioned, and has a comfortable seating area. If you are unfamiliar with Tryp Hotels, it may be useful for you to know that they are part of the Sol Melia group.
Hotel Facilities
The Tryp Hotel Gran Via Madrid has a lounge where a buffet style breakfast is served, and also a large café / bar called the Ernest Hemingway. There are big windows that allow for a view down over Gran Via. There's also a TV lounge, and a public car park within 5 minutes walk. There are two computers with internet in reception, and the hotel offers a laundry service. In reception you're also provided with some English language magazines.

This is a large hotel with 175 rooms. Every room has AC, en-suite bathroom with hairdryer, telephone, satellite TV, piped music, mini bar and a safe. Most of the rooms have large patio windows that let in the light, and are modern and tastefully decorated. They are suitably sound proofed that you don't hear the noise from the road outside, and at night, if you are in a room looking over Gran Via, you have an excellent view of the city lights.

How to get to your hotel from Madrid-Barajas Airport
Booking your airport transport in advance onlineBooking your airport transport online in advance of your trip enables you to travel from Madrid-Barajas airport directly to the door of your hotel.
The online booked transfers listed below are not public transport operated services - which means they continue to run even if there is a public transport strike.
If you don't speak Spanish, and you are unfamiliar with Madrid, arranging your transport in advance will give you peace of mind and save you the trouble of working out the route yourself. You can either book a private transfer or a shared transfer.
Private transfer (online booking only)
A private transfer means that the vehicle that you have will be dedicated for you and your party only. The driver will be waiting for you at your arrivals gate with a sign with your name on it. Your driver will assist you with your luggage and take you to a private air conditioned vehicle to take you directly to your hotel. We have provided a booking link below.
Minibus transfer (online booking only)
A minibus option is cheaper than the private transfer and the vehicle is shared amongst other travellers. Unlike a private transfer the driver will not be waiting for you at the arrivals gate you would need to make your way to a meeting point.
Follow the link below to book either your private transfer or minibus transfer online.
