Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to 60 Balconies, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request rooms on higher floors (above floor 5) for a quieter stay, as the lower floors may be more prone to street noise from Calle del Almirante, a busy street with traffic and pedestrians. Additionally, rooms on the west side (facing the street) may receive more natural light and have a better view of the city.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the first floor, as they may be closer to the service entrance and potentially noisier. Rooms near the lift may also experience more noise from guests and staff.
Best views
Rooms on floors 6-10 may have a view of the city, although the specific view will depend on the orientation of the room.

Money & Currency
Get a travel card →Euro, EUR
Use bank ATMs for the best rates; avoid currency exchange bureaux at the airport or tourist spots – they charge poor rates and high fees.
Visa and Mastercard are widely accepted; contactless and mobile pay (Apple Pay, Google Pay) are common in most shops, cafes and restaurants; Amex is less reliable.
Tipping is not obligatory but appreciated: round up in cafes and bars (5-10% for good service), 5-10% in restaurants for sit-down meals, and round up the fare in taxis; hotel staff get a euro or two for extra service.
Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget
Cheap car hire →Café con leche from a bar or bakery – about €1.50-2.
Menu del día (set lunch) in a local bar or restaurant – around €12-15, includes starter, main, dessert or coffee, and a drink.
A main course of grilled chicken, fish or paella in a modest restaurant – roughly €10-15.
Grab a slice of pizza, kebab, or a bocadillo (sandwich) from a bar or takeaway spot near Puerta del Sol or along Calle de la Montera.
Mercadona, Carrefour Express, DIA and Lidl are the budget supermarket chains you'll find nearby.
Primark, Lefties and Zara (outlet ranges) on Gran Vía and near Callao; avoid boutique streets if you're on a strict budget.
A 10-trip Metrobus card (€6.10) covers Metro and buses – the cheapest way to get around; from the airport, take the Metro (line 8) with the same card for €4.50-5 or the airport express bus (€5).
Eat the menu del día for lunch, not dinner – it's far better value. Buy a multi-journey transport card rather than single tickets. Avoid eating or drinking on the main tourist plazas; walk one street away for better prices.
