"The largest rooms are on the fourth floor. They are also the quietest, which can be an issue on this plaza at night." Full review
Time Out
"The Persal's rooms don't quite live up to the first impressions given by the glass front and swish lobby, but thankfully they're modern, spotlessly clean and more than functional." Full review

8.0
"This inn in the oldest and most atmospheric part of Madrid is now a chic three-star hotel where contemporary style blends smoothly with traditional architecture." Full review
Frommer's
"The rooms of this boutique hotel and bar are bright and designer-ish, with a Moorish theme. The accommodation is set around a much more traditional courtyard." Full review

Make sure you get an upstairs room, either overlooking the street (great views but noisier) or the courtyard (quieter but smaller). Avoid the small ground-floor bedroom right beside the restaurant.
