The right street
The Callao–Plaza de España half is livelier and closer to Malasaña; the Metrópolis end is more elegant and closer to Chueca and Recoletos. Rooms over the avenue itself come with the view and the noise — the same buildings' side-street rooms are quieter and cheaper. Plaza de España's renovated gardens make the western end greener than you'd expect.
Prices and what you get
Gran Vía lists around 410 bookable hotels and guesthouses, from roughly €48/night. Prices on the area page are live; booking 3–6 weeks out usually lands the best rate, with free cancellation on most rooms.
