4 to weigh
  • No pets allowed — The property does not permit pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
  • Check-in window is narrow — Check-in is limited to 15:00–22:00, which may be inconvenient for late arrivals.
  • No on-site parking listed — Parking information is not provided, so guests driving in may need to arrange their own parking nearby.
  • Not central to Plaza Mayor — Plaza Mayor is about a 10-minute drive away, so it's not a walk-to-the-main-square location.

“Excellent value for the price – the room was well equipped and comfortable. Location was more convenient than expected, and the staff were genuinely hospitable.”

8.9Verified guest

“My room had everything I needed: a sink, good lighting, a comfortable bed, and plenty of storage. The place was spotless, with daily cleaning. Easy reach of the metro, parks, and restaurants. The AC was a lifesaver in the Madrid heat. Great value – a private room with breakfast at a budget price. I'd strongly recommend it.”

8.9Verified guest

“Rooms are spot on – air conditioning so you won't overheat on hot nights, a desk for work, and a roomy closet for all your clothes. Ideal for beach-goers who pack a lot.”

“The staff were incredibly welcoming from the moment I arrived. Room and bathroom were spotless, and having a private toilet was a plus. Even though it's a busy area, the room was quiet and I slept well. Plenty of sockets by the bed for charging everything. A fantastic stay – highly recommended.”
