Hostal Madrid

Extended a 2 day stay to 3. This place is a gem. The staff are very friendly, helpful and you feel instantly welcome. My room was well laid out, very clean and had some charm thanks to the exposed exterior walls. The location is fabulous - walk to the Prado, Thyssen, Raina Sofia, El Retiro and the Palace. Lots of options for eating close by including Mercado San Miguel. Plus right by Sol Metro station. Only downside is that it can be (like the whole area ) a touch noisy. A great choice for a stay in Madrid

This is the best location you will find in the city, center of everything and walking distance to the major attractions. Rooms are private, clean, not too loud, with windows that open to the interior courtyard. Can’t recommend it enough for a solo traveler who values sleep. If you’re over 6’ you might find the bed a bit on the smaller side. You also might want to bring ear plugs for hallway noise. Also - the windows had black out shades!

The reception team is friendly. The apartment is well-equipped. If you need anything, just contact reception, and they'll bring it. The location is excellent – everything is close by, with lots of restaurants and shops, plus easy Metro access. The only downside is the noise from next door. You can hear people talking, even at normal levels, which is a problem after midnight. I hope they consider soundproofing.

Yes we anyoi alot the stay there and on the center of the beautiful Madrid Thanks !!!! CALL DIRETED TO THEM AND GET BETTER PRICE!

We had a lovely stay at Hostal Madrid. The location, AC, comfy bed, clean room and bathroom, and really welcoming staff made our stay a pleasure! This hostal is super close to Puerta del Sol.

Great location. The room was a squeeze, with a window that opened into a back courtyard|Comfortable bed, good bathroom facilities|The staff were friendly and helpful|The location was amazing, close to bars, restaurants, shops and transportation

Nice place, clean and responsive staff. Location is perfect, at Sol subway station and plaça. Recommend 100%.

the room was perfect for a few nights stay! the location itself was also amazing and really beneficial if you’re travelling by public transport:) the staff was helpful and always smiling as well!

Excellent accommodations, very friendly staff. Everyone was super helpful .... Great option for last minute travelers. They also keep the place clean and quiet. Highly recommended!!

I've stayed here on two different occasions now and both times have been wonderful. The staff is always so friendly and are comfortable speaking English or Spanish or French with you. Be aware the rooms are tiny, but they're really tidy and clean. Plus, for he price and quality, you just can't beat the location! They're perfectly located if you're eager to see the city and explore downtown. It's a 2 minute walk to the Puerta del Sol and a 2 minute minute walk to the Plaza Mayor. You are literally in the middle of everything. It's amazing. Our room was on the street side and was a little noisy at night sometimes, but they have sound/lightproof shutters to close over the balcony door. They have a single parking spot directly in front of the hostal that is reserved just for their customers. It is only for loading and unloading luggage and so cannot be used for long-term parking, but it's very convenient, so keep it in mind if you're renting a car. There are a couple of underground parking garages not too far away where we've always parked our rental car. The hotel does validate your parking ticket when you check-out. I really have had a great experience staying here and would recommend it to anyone who has never been to Madrid or is looking to maximize their exploration.

It was a great place; great beds, good showers, great customer service ( shout out to our guy!)

Simple small rooms, extra clean everyday. Towels and toiletries were brand new every single day. The reception guys are all awesome all the time. Blower and WiFi available. I stayed here because there were no vacancies in my usual Hotel. But I love this place. Now they have small apartments for rent, for slightly more than the small rooms. I need to emphasize that the cleanliness was A+ and the convenience of the cafeteria and tiny mart right next door has no price. Restaurants, stores, taxies, metro just around the corner.

It's highly rated on hostelbookers and I can see why - it's right in the middle of the center, very easy access from the main metro station, Sol. Reception is incredibly nice, friendly, and speak English well. The rooms are kept very clean, although keep in mind this is a hostel, not a hotel, so rooms were smaller. Being in the middle of the center, and in particular, right next to Museo del Jamon which is open late hours, it can get a little noisy. Otherwise, I would highly recommend this as a low budget travel option.

The staff is really friendly. The male staff member upgraded me to a room with a full-sized bed rather than a single which I prepaid for. It was on the ground floor next to the lobby where you check in. As a solo traveller I felt safe as a result. Thank you! The bathroom was clean and the room was simple and sufficient. There were no bugs. At times it can get a little noisy because of the thin wall but I am fine wearing ear plugs to sleep. The location is central to everything; the metro station, 24 hour mart, plaza mayor, etc. I didn't have to walk too much from the main street to get to the hostal so it wasn't hard to find. Other hostals are too far into the small street which can be confusing for people who arrive to madrid the first time. I would definitely stay here again if I ever return to Madrid. Btw all the major attractions are walking distance so you don't even need a metro card or taxi!

Im a fan! What a hostal should be - simple, clean, cheap. The hostal is steps fom sol metro, clean lines with hardwood floors, not much in the way of furnishings, a flat screen tv, all for 35 euro per night. The wifi is spotty which is the only issue, but how much time are you spending in the room anyway?
