Perfect location. Walking distance to all tourist spots. Short distance to public transports. The room is very small but it got all necessary furniture. The shower is great. The reception staff are all very friendly and helpful. The room is very clean and got daily housekeeping and fresh towels. The only drawback is the noise from other rooms due to very thin wall and also near the reception lobby.

This is entered through a doorway then take the lift to 5th floor for the hotel rooms, reception and terrace.
Small and basic with no frills but a good option for a budget hotel situated in the heart of the city just a gentle stroll down to Grand Via and on to Sol.

I plan on making Hostal America my new home away from home in Madrid. It's location is perfect, but it was how clean and neat and efficient it was that made my stay so great. I will absolutely return to the Hostal America.

A good value for a city centre location
It was on the fifth floor, but it does have an elevator. The room is small but adequate. Perfect for a short stay while in transit.

Bathroom sink is extra low and tiny. Staff is responsive. LOVELY, spacious outdoor patio for guests to use. Excellent Italian restaurant right across the street + Carrefour is close + nearby Crete coffee is the best with delicious croissants actually prepped in France and more. Our rm was nice size but it was a triple.

Pros: 24-hour front desk service with great, friendly staff.
Cons: the room was incredibly small and I could feel all the springs on my mattress bed.
(Room 507). Extremely uncomfortable and hard to get a good night sleep. Also the walls are paper thin and you can hear everything.

Great location. For Canadians, two Tim Hortons within a 5 minute walk. ☺️ For those able to walk a mile no problem, most sites within walking distance. The immediate neighbourhood is safe, great for walking, and loaded with places to eat, drink or grab groceries. Take advantage of the free Prado and Reina Sofia (Guernica) hours in an otherwise expensive and busy capital. Hotel was good, staff friendly/helpful; beautiful patio for chilling and planning. As a quibble, I simply don't understand shower stalls without grab bars; I don't know whether this was just my room or all of them, but it makes me nervous.

Excellent (for its price), clean, essential petit hotel in a very conveniently located area in central Madrid. Walking distance to transportation and major attractions. Hundreds of bars/restaurants in the area. Truly kind, pleasant, and helpful staff and management. Highly recommended--a bargain for its cleanness and location. If I can suggest a further improvement, management may want to direct cleaning staff and guests to limit the noise in the early morning (specially on weekends). Overall, thank you, Hostal America!

Absolutely horrible, the room has strong smell of cigarettes like people having a huge smoking party in it. I stayed 3 nights with windows open and sprayed air fresh lots of times, still can’t get rid of the smell. Even I hang my washed underwear in the bathroom and my underwear smells like cigarettes. The soap stand was dirty also. Full of dust.
Location is perfect tho, and the receptionist was nice.
But the room, NAH!!
