If only all places to stay were this good. This place inhabits the shell of a historic Malasaña building, but the rooms are slick and contemporary with designer bathrooms. You’re also just a few steps up the hill from Calle del Pez, one of Malasaña’s most happening streets. It’s an exceptionally good deal, even when prices head upwards.
