The Hat Madrid | Best places to stay in Madrid

"Striking, bohemian design and a central location a minute’s walk from the Plaza Mayor and San Miguel market put this affordable hotel head and shoulders above the competition. Based on the adage, ‘Wherever I lay my hat, that’s my home’, it’s a welcoming, characterful base with a wide choice of sleeping arrangements – from dorm rooms to smart white doubles – all with raw pine furniture and a minimalist aesthetic. There’s a scenic rooftop bar surrounded by Madrid’s signature russet tiles and white domes, and a tasty breakfast buffet to start the day, with bikes available to rent. A fine choice for anyone visiting Madrid on a budget. " - Dana Facaros
