If you prefer a comfortable, modern hotel and do not want to pay too much more than for a hostel I recommend this one:

For those of you who have not travelled to Spain before, and after a long flight and in need of sleep, I would recommend the comforts of hotel accommodation if you decide to stay in Madrid before heading down to Granada. In a capital city, safety is also a key factor in choosing where to stay and the fact that hotels have a ground floor entrance and the main door is never closed, make them a safer option when going back to the hotel to sleep after dark. The hotel I recommend, for its comfort, situation and price/quality ratio is:
Hotel Alexandra
C/ San Bernardo, 29 – 31
28015 Madrid
Tel: 91 542 04 00
Fax: 91 559 28 25
Price: Single or double approx. 10.000 ptas
If you want to pay less and have no choice but to stay in a hostel, I recommend this one, which is situated at about 200 metres from the Puerta del Sol:
Hostal Residencia
Don Alfonso
Plaza Celenque 1, 2º (A side street of C/ Arenal)
Tel: 91 531 98 40
Price: Single 3.100 – 4.500 ptas
Double 4.500 – 5.350 ptas
* If you want to stay in Madrid over Christmas or the New Year be sure to book well in advance.
