Our take
Hotel Cisneros is a sensible base when you want to sleep near Madrid's airport without staying in an airport zone: Alcalá de Henares' historic centre, with the university and the Cervantes heritage, is a short walk away. I would book it for the night before an early flight or for a trade fair at IFEMA, both reachable via the A2. The rooms cover the essentials, and the 7.9 guest score matches a functional three-star hotel.
- ✓Walk into Alcalá de Henares old town to settle in in its UNESCO World Heritage charm.
- ✓Consider renting a car at reception if you plan to explore Madrid or the surrounding region.
- ✓Take advantage of the easy access to the A2 motorway for quick trips to IFEMA or Barajas Airport.
