In the Salamanca district, on Calle Alcántara, the Hotel Zenit Abeba is a modern-style 4-star hotel with parking, a gym and meeting rooms. It suits you if you come for work, want to shop on Serrano or Velázquez, or prefer a residential neighbourhood to the bustle of the historic centre.
Location and getting around
Retiro Park, via the Puerta de Alcalá, is about a 30-minute walk away, and Cibeles about 35. Puerta del Sol is about 3 km away and the Prado Museum about 2.5 km, so for the historic centre the Metro or a taxi is best.
If you are going to a match at the Bernabéu (2.7 km) or a trade fair at IFEMA (6 km), public transport or a taxi is also worth it.
Rooms and facilities
Rooms have a parquet floor, modern decor, a flat-screen TV, a private bathroom and free wifi.
The Nadir restaurant serves Spanish and international cuisine, with gluten-free and low-calorie dishes. There is a bar with a lounge, a gym, parking and conference rooms. In the morning, there is a buffet breakfast.
Who it suits
- Drivers who want to park at the hotel.
- Guests with meetings or a conference who find the hotel’s rooms handy.
- Visitors whose plan is shopping on Serrano, Velázquez and Ortega y Gasset.
- Those who watch what they eat and want to have dinner at the hotel.
Good to know
It is not in the historic centre: for Sol or Plaza Mayor you will have to take the Metro or a taxi. Check-in starts at 14:00 and check-out is until 12:00. Bring photo ID and a credit card for registration. It is not stated whether parking has a charge, so ask when you book.
The average rating on Booking is 8.9 out of 10. More options by neighbourhood in hotels in Madrid.
