Hostal Maria Luisa

A great option for an undemanding traveler. The room is clean, the price is low (for a little money we had a double room with our own shower and toilet), no hidden fees, the hostel is quiet in the evening and at night, the reception is open around the clock, the hostel is in the city center, near the metro, shopping centers and restaurants. I recommend this hostel, we had a great experience.

Cons: thin walls and doors (good noise is heard from neighboring rooms and from the corridor); the premises are in satisfactory condition, it would not hurt to refresh the interior with a room and furniture.

The hostel is located in the central area - the metro station Gran Via. Hortaleza street has restaurants and shops for all tastes and pockets. From the airport, take the shuttle - the yellow bus, to Plaza de la Cibeles. The cost of a trip is 5 euros and the ticket is bought from the driver. The host is welcoming and friendly. The rooms are clean, wi-fi free and the bathrooms are equipped with cosmetics. Art lovers desire, to see the three museums (Thyssen - Bornemisza, Prado and Reina Sofia) is met by buying a single ticket on-line or at the entrance of the museum Thyseen from Paseo del Arte. ! To avoid queues, buy tickets on-line one month in advance. Palacio Real (construction started by King Philip V and completed by Carol III) can be admired crossing the Plaza de Ameria. In Puerta del Sol (the busiest market, the commercial center of Madrid) you will find the symbol of Madrid: the bear and the strawberry.

Great location. Staff are so helpful

No key for door entrance and have to ring the bell (I’m deaf and cannot hear the voice) I kept check if the front door is open.
