Best for On a budget - Expert review of Gala
Incredibly stylish with a laidback vibe – at a budget price.
Opened in June 2010, the Gala is a great example of the new wave of no-frills, low-key designer hotels in Madrid. Owners Jaime and Almudena have clearly put a lot of thought – not to mention flair for design - into creating a contemporary, comfortable environment. When you see and stay in as many hotels as I do, it’s a real breath of fresh air to come across somewhere like this.
Location:
It’s on the second floor (with lift) of a 19th-century building right in downtown Madrid, a stone’s throw from Santo Domingo metro station. The Gran Vía and Puerta del Sol are a couple of minutes’ walk away.
Bedrooms:
The 22 rooms are all different and done out in soothing grey tones, and black and white geometric patterns, with wooden floors. 212 is the biggest, a junior suite with a leather sofa.There is free WiFi, air-conditioning and bathrooms have hydromassage showers. Irons and ironing boards are available too. Several rooms are triple bed arrangements.
