Hotel Location And Facilities
The Hotel Melia Madrid Princesa is on a street with lots of banks and cash points. There's also a small restaurant about 1 minute walk up the hill, and if you carry on for 3 more minutes you'll come to the department store of El Corte Ingles.
On the side street that runs up to the main entrance, you'll see a colourful looking clothes shop for women.
Calle Princesa itself runs as far as the Plaza España, and 50 metres before you arrive at the Plaza, you'll see a cinema that shows films in 'original version' - meaning that many are in English. To walk to the Plaza Espana from the hotel will take about 10 - 15 minutes.
By metro it's approximately 10 minutes ride into the heart of Madrid and many shops, bars and restaurants. To find the main commercial area head for Sol.
