Perfect location while vacationing

perfect location,few steps from plaza mayor.. very close to all the restaurants that we wanted to try including Botin,Revuelta,La Campana,, Gines chocolateria and many more. There are also restaurants on the street level of the hotel building. there are 2 metro stations nearby(La Latina & Tirso de Molina stations). Madrid is a very walkable city

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.

Super location and lovely staff. On smaller side and can be fumed from restaurant frying downstairs but considering how much you spend its a viable budget option.

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.

Small room but well facilitated. Perfect for a short stay where a bed, toilet and shower are required. Lots of street noise including a very noisy manhole cover overnight, but apart from this the hotel fitted the bill perfectly

8/10 Very good

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.

Surprise so close to everything

Room was hot, no a/c working. Ceiling fan did the trick. Quiet close to everything food shopping etc. Location second to none. Hard to locate hotel is located on 2nd floor only.

Stayed here one night before flying home.

We stayed here on a Wednesday. For the price, our room was nice, with a private bathroom, 2 beds, a large window, free wifi, and a tv. Our room was quiet, clean, and the towels were large and fluffy. The room was small but it had a closet and in-room safe (which we did not use). The hotel is on the 2nd floor of the building and you need to press a button marked "la Macarena" next to the outside door to be allowed into the building. You then go up the elevator to the 2nd floor. Everything you need is nearby and walkable. The front desk is open 24 hours. We enjoyed our stay.

4/10 Fair

This hostel is surrounded with lot of restaurants and bars and is quite buzzing. And many tour busses gather people near this place so location wise it worked out well. But otherwise, the hotel or hostel was a bit rundown. I had no issues with smaller rooms. But the maintenance especially like bathrooms were so dated. The first room given to us was quite smelly (apparently a restaurant kitchen is downstairs as other reviews have noted). So we changed to another room,where the bathroom/toilet broke a few times. The bathroom didn't even have a bath roll holder.

10/10 Exceptional

First time in Madrid and this was a perfectly walkable location close to locals bars and restaurants. We explored a good radius and there was plenty to see, do and buy. I really liked the leather shoe shops and there was one cork shop which are way more common in Portugal. Check out El Mercado for a fast service but busy and fun food hall, but you also have cheaper grocery options like the Dia stores for fruits and such. Charcuterie is everywhere. The smell of pig is inescapable in some areas, so FYI, but I thought it was fine. You can find 2 euro wine in grocery stores and more expensive options in the shops. As far as accommodations, La Macarena staff was very polite. Our beds were made every day. There is no fridge. Our room was a two bed turned into a three bed which made for cramped quarters but were were happy with it besides when we tried to cuddle and the beds pushed together were a little gapped. I would recommend this place! We had a great stay!
