Loved staying in Hostal Centro Sol!! Location was perfect—right near city center and major sightseeing locations all in walking distance. Owners were very nice and welcoming and even let me check in early which I really appreciate. Room was charming and comfortable, and even had balcony view. Very well priced, especially for solo traveler. Highly recommend if you are coming to Madrid!!

An exceptional hostel right off Plaza del Sol, ground zero in Madrid from which all roads and development radiated centuries ago. Had a private bath with a bathtub, large wall mirrors, comfortable queen bed, and sparkling clean with all amenities needed. Problem is it’s always booked, so I could only stay two nights then had to find another one for my last night, but fortunately only a few steps away as I was carrying too much luggage, leaving for States the next day.
