Bottom Line
Ganivet Hotel is a mid-range hotel centrally located in a bustling area within walking distance of major attractions. It offers 151 clean, no-frills rooms with laminate floors, flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, and free bottled water. Decor is mostly generic but contemporary. There is not much by way of amenities -- just a breakfast room serving a solid buffet, a lobby bar, and a business center with two computers. But rates are great for such a central location, and on-site parking (for a fee) is a rare find in central Madrid.

A no-frills hotel offering good value for money
Hotel Ganivet attracts both families and couples, most of whom pick this property for its great value and central location. The hotel features generic yet contemporary decor throughout. The lobby is a bright space with floor-to-ceiling windows, bold orange and black furniture, and wood wall paneling around the front desk area. This color choice extend to the lobby bar, which features bright orange upholstery and wooden tables. Decor in the rest of the common spaces -- including the breakfast room and the hallways -- is more subdued, with generic wooden furniture, brown accent walls, and gray floors.
Location
Within walking distance of many major attractions
Ganivet Hotel is located right in the heart of the city center. The property is down the street from one of Madrid’s top nightlife spots, and a couple of blocks from El Rastro, the city’s most famous Sunday flea market. It can get busy, mostly during the weekend, but it is not as overrun with tourists and locals as other areas closer to Sol. Plaza Mayor, the Royal Palace, and Puerta del Sol are all within easy walking distance, and there are tons of traditional bars and restaurants in the immediate neighborhood. The nearest Metro stop is Puerta de Toledo -- located half a block away -- and there are several bus stops nearby.
Rooms
Clean and up-to-date, with flat-screen TVs and free Wi-Fi
The hotel offers several room types -- including Double, Triple, and Family Rooms -- all featuring laminate floors, flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, and free bottled water. Decor is contemporary but generic, with dark wood furniture, blue bedspreads, and large black-and-white photos of Madrid. Some rooms on the top floors have spacious furnished terraces with expansive city views. Bathrooms are clean, and feature shower/tub combos -- but some are a little tight. For the best sleep quality, guests may want to request a courtyard-facing room or a unit on the top floor. Cots are available free of charge upon request.
Features
A breakfast room with outdoor seating, a business center, and on-site parking
The breakfast room is a large, bright space located off the lobby. It features dozens of tables, a long buffet bar, and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking a small courtyard furnished with a handful of plastic chairs and tables. The hotel does not offer a full restaurant, but there’s a bar with breakfast items, a few snacks, coffee, and drinks. Guests also have access to a business center with two computers, and to an underground parking lot (for a daily fee). Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the hotel. Water coolers can be found on every floor.
