Unbeatable location, with plenty of places to eat on the same street. Close to everything, less than a minute from the San Miguel Market, and just across the street is the Plaza Mayor. For easy reference, it's opposite the Cueva de Luis Candela. We thank all the staff for their friendliness and helpfulness, especially Luis; our stay wouldn't have been so enjoyable without his assistance. We would definitely return.

The hotel is super well located, blocks from Mercado San Miguel, the busy the Cava Baja street ( full of bars and restaurants) and the historic area. The rooms are quite small and dated, but overall comfortable. It was very quiet, even though it's on a busy street, I'm not sure if all the rooms get a balcony, but ours did. The staff is very kind and helpful. The downside is a parking was about 10 blocks away and they do not have a contract for pricing so we paid about €32 per night.

The location is tremendous, The room was clean, and cleaned daily. The property was secure with friendly staff. The room is quiet at night. The front entrance can be hard to find on first arrival. Our room did not resemble any of the pictures and the window had a view of the central maintenance courtyard. We were only at the hotel at bedtime but if a view is important perhaps make a request.

The Hotel was in a brilliant location and great value for money. Although a little dated, it had great charm including a delightful covered balcony. The staff were charming and helpful and check-in/check-out easy and convenient. Will happily return if in Madrid again.

Perfect location, clean and comfortable.

Perfect location just 2 mins from San Miguel Food market and the local squares. Within 20-30 mins walk of most other locations on our list. The staff were friendly and helpful. We weren’t planning on spending too much time in our room, so although basic, it was very clean and comfortable, so perfect for our stay.

It was a great find. It is close to everything in Centro Madrid. The room was very small but has a lot of character. It was clean, quaint and charming. The balcóny is adorable. I was very happy with it. Practical, cute and great price. There is also a place near where you can store your bags. I would definitely go back.

If you are conversational in Spanish an want a quaint place situated in the center of Madrid then I highly recommend staying at this accommodation. You are less than 10 minutes away from the Sol Metro and 3 min walk to the San Miguel Market. However, the rooms are located on the 3rd floor of the building and the entrance to the 3rd floor is always locked. Therefore we often had to go to the 2nd floor to ask the receptionist to open the door which was pretty inconvenient if you go in and out all day. Multiple the dining options around and historical sites are walkable. Recommend if traveling with young adults vs elderly.

The hostal is conveniently situated, being very close to the Plaza Mayor and numerous good bars and restaurants. Although it is on the second floor, there is a lift. We found the staff welcoming, friendly and helpful; communication was wholly in Spanish. The room and facilities were spotlessly clean, with good air conditioning. The only disadvantage was occasional loud noise from a nearby room.
