Hi r2d2,
Madrid is a fantastic city. I used to prefer Barcelona, but after having been to Madrid a couple of time I've changed my mind. If you are looking for a great central hotel, see my recommendation above. It's got all the culture, shopping and nightlife that you could ask for. If you like late nights, then this place does not stop until the sun comes up!. Eating out is also very reasonable and you can get good wine for a tenner in the restaurants.

There was me thinking tha Dublin was deer & Madrid was cheap. Surely 115 for a hotel is not cheap. I believe in parts of france you can get a hotel toom fo 40 off season. thats cheap.
Hi r2d2,
Glad you like the hotel. Here's a great guide to Madrid and has many recommendations for restaurants. You might find something here.

2 Restaurants that I've eaten in and would recommend are
Los Galayos
http://www.frommers.com/destinations/madrid/D3469.html
and Sobrino de Botin
http://www.frommers.com/destinations/madrid/D3471.html
These are only a few minutes walk from the hotel. Also, just along the same street as Sobrino de Botin there are some great bars, very old and traditional, and some have traditional spanish music and singing. They also do great tapas for lunch!
Hope this helps, and Mrs d2 approves!

Just looking at booking hotel in central Madrid for Oct next. Vincci Centrum is quoting 447.26 for three nights. Is it really worth that? Any other recommendations appreciated. Want something central so realise you pay for that but 447.26 seems a bit over the top. On the other hand I dont get away too much (ahhhhhVincci Centrum is the name of the hotel.
