Hello.

This particularly cash strapped pilot has done a search, but the results are a little old so..

Does anyone know of a good hotel in central Madrid that will do an airline staff discount? I presume I have to look near the airport for most of them. Does anyone have any tips?

Also has anyone used iddeals.com? Is it worth the sign up fee?
Many thanks,

Try Solmeliá hotels

Hi Buddie, try NH hotels, you have a huge range of 3/4 stars hotels (high Standard for that level), for crew members usually 70 euros per room, 2 people, breakfast included. I always take it and you will not regret it.

Also has anyone used iddeals.com? Is it worth the sign up fee?

idDeals lists 8 Madrid hotels, mainly Novotel and Holiday Inns.

Euro building 2 in Calle Orense 69, I always stay there its an apartment hotel so you can cook for yourself its close to the Bernabeau so not in the centre but very close to the metro so its the centre for €1.00.

I used to live opposite, it's a good area, in the north of the city, not an enormous amount to see or do there compared with the centre, but as said, metro or bus 27 into centre is quick, cheap, and easy.

I wonder if the same hookers are on the courner, they must be in their 70's by now!

By the way the phone number must be 0034 915716794, as 31 is Holland.

Cape, sorry about the code have been calling holland a lot recently. To answer your question the "Ladies" are no longer there as they were purged by the local cops many years ago, one night we were stopped at the lights at Cuzco and my mate opened the window to speak to them it was like a safari park they were all over the place baps out and offering various favours, we off course made our excuses and left:ok:

Of course, as one does.

I used to walk past that corner on the way home every day and at night if I went out, and usually said hello to them or gave them a couple of hundred pesetas for cigarettes or whatever when they asked.

One night I got back from the airport in a taxi and refused to pay the driver the extortionate fare he asked for, no meter, 3 times the usual rate. He got out and had me pinned against a wall when a couple of massive blokes appeared from the shadows, grabbed him, and kicked the crap out of him. They were the girls' pimps and they said afterwards they'd helped me because they knew I was decent to the girls.
