I booked a King Suite City View for four nights in early September. First time in Madrid. I hesitate that the construction at Plaza del Carmen will be too loud and the rooftop pool not open. Is the construction still loud at the adjacent plaza? I've stayed at the Thompson hotel in Cabo San Lucas and loved it, so I have high expectations for their new Madrid location.
I have another option to stay at the Only You Boutique Hotel near the Chueca neighborhood for not that much more cost. For a first time visitor, any thoughts about staying in Chueca versus Puerta del Sol?
