Sequestered away on a small offshoot of Gran Via near Plaza España (and our favorite underground Chinese restaurant, which is literally located underground the Plaza) is Casón del Tormes, a three-star hotel.
It got our attention for its spacious and attractive 63 rooms. The fact it's also near the heavily policed Spanish Senate means that there's a constant police presence.
Casón del Tormes used to be yet another link in the Best Western chain, but it recently went indie. In doing so, it has tossed the generic hotel carpeting out for humble wood flooring. Dark-wood furniture can be found in every room, and is complemented by toile or paisley-inspired bedspreads, depending on the room. All rooms are exterior and face the quiet street.
