GOLDEN TORREJON

Four floors of practical three-star accommodation on Avenida de la Constitución in Torrejón de Ardoz, the Golden Torrejón sits roughly 20km east of central Madrid — a sensible base for travellers using Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport, just 8km west along the A-2 corridor.

Private parking removes the usual stress of Madrid-area arrivals, and free WiFi covers all rooms. Family rooms make the property a reasonable overnight for groups driving between Madrid and the Guadalajara region rather than paying city-centre rates.

Torrejón de Ardoz itself is a working commuter town with its own Cercanías C-2 rail line connecting to Atocha in around 30 minutes. Check-in opens at 13:00; checkout by 12:00.
