CH Arriaza II, Madrid

CH Arriaza II is a simple, budget-focused 2-star base in Madrid, Spain, suited to travelers who want an easy city base rather than a lot of on-site extras. The hotel sits on Caale Arriaza, 3–4 Izq, putting you within walking distance of central sights like Plaza de España (about 1 km) and the Royal Palace area (around 2 km), so your days can be built around strolling between neighborhoods. Guests consistently mention practicality over polish, with the overall 6.8/10 guest rating reflecting a stay that works best for short trips and travelers who are comfortable keeping expectations realistic. Several reviewers highlight the value of free WiFi for planning routes and staying in touch, and they appreciate the luggage storage option when arrival or departure times don’t line up neatly with their plans. The elevator is also helpful for getting around efficiently, especially after a day of sightseeing. Check-in is at 2:00 PM and check-out is at 12:00 PM, which helps you plan a straightforward schedule. The front desk operates on limited hours, so it’s worth planning around that if you expect assistance outside those times. For context, many guests choose this kind of hotel to keep costs down while still being close to major Madrid landmarks such as Gran Vía (about 2 km) and Templo de Debod (around 2 km). If you’re a solo explorer, a couple on a tight schedule, or anyone prioritizing location and basic comfort, CH Arriaza II can fit the bill.
