We have just returned from a 4 days inHotel Gavinet. The hotel is 3 stars, but I would rate it 4+.The location is walking distance from the center of the city, so we never took the cab. Breakfast was included and was great. Rooms a very clean and good size. Front desk was very helpfull. The only minus is that... more

My girlfried and I were in Madrid for 5 days in June 2008 and stayed at Ganivet. We found it to be a solid, reasonable 3-star hotel in the city center.

The hotel is not as it may appear on many websites as it has had a full re-fit last year and is really rather nice (some sites have some very old photos which no longer apply as the Ganivet is now under the ownership of Porcel... more

Excellent value for money. Great Location (1 km from Plaza Mayor), very clean (bed and bath). Perfect 2 * hotel. Lift does not always work -- that is the only downside. more
