Where to stay in Madrid

Vicálvaro is in the east of Madrid, so staying somewhere with easy metro access makes sense. Retiro puts you close to the line 9 metro, which connects straight to the market area, and it's a pleasant part of the city to base yourself. Hotel Mediodía is a solid, affordable option near Atocha with good transport links across the city.

If you prefer to be more central, Sol and Gran Vía gives you the best metro connections in the city and plenty of choice for food and accommodation after a morning at the market.
