Hotel Liabeny

Seven floors between Sol and Callao

The Liabeny is a large, classic four-star on Calle de la Salud, 150 metres from Puerta del Sol and 100 from the Gran Vía. It has seven floors, four lifts and renovated rooms with individual air conditioning. It suits a weekend of theatres, shopping and museums, with Plaza de Callao four minutes away.

On its website, the economy single, interior and small, is advertised from €90 a night; the standard single, from €98; the double, from €122, interior or exterior; and the deluxe double, with a 2.10 metre bed and coffee machine, from €146. There are doubles with an extra bed and family rooms with a sofa bed for two children. No room has a balcony or terrace, and the whole hotel is smoke-free.

If you come by car

It is one of the few hotels in the centre with its own car park. If you book on its website, the garage rate is discounted, and electric-car charging, which otherwise costs €10, is free. Keys are left with the garage staff. Ask beforehand how to enter the central low-emission zone with your car: the hotel has a page about it.

What is included and how to get there

Check-in is at 15:00 and check-out at 12:00. If you book on its website they may let you in earlier and out as late as 14:00 at no cost, depending on occupancy. Reception and concierge are open 24 hours, in Spanish, English and French, and will store your luggage. There is a gym with a sauna and the restaurant Lya67, serving Mediterranean cooking.

By metro you have Sol, Callao and Gran Vía. From Sol, take the Calle del Carmen exit: the hotel is about 75 metres away.
