Lock in a great price for Hostal Ballesta – rated 8.3 by recent guests!

to get started.

This was prefect! Located right in the centre of Madrid and great value for money. You get your own private room with a bathroom and we had a balcony which was small but lovely to get a bit of morning sun. Could not fault this hostal, there are computers with printers that are free to use which allowed us to print out boarding passes off, also free WiFi is every room which was strong. Would definitely recommend and will be staying here again.

Danielle, United Kingdom

I like the location and the value for a single room. The room was small but it had all that I needed; private bathroom, closet, mirrow (long) and small balcony.

Yuriko, Peru

Pity did not get a balcony room but the hotel is situated in the best area. So convenient and not too noisy

Janine, South Africa

Central. Easy walking distance to central Madrid. Clean. Efficient.

Jennifer, United Kingdom

Good location, nice staff (but night receptionist does not speak English)

Rachel, Singapore

Comfortable beds. Value for money (week days). Soundproof (from outside)

눉The room was dark. There were others with Juliet balconies that we would ask for next time. The street had prostitutes sitting on the windowsills. They were no trouble and didn’t bother us but I thought perhaps it was worth letting people know.
