Hostal Lamalonga

A great find! It oozes old-world charm while appealing to travelers like myself who are seeking budget-friendly accommodations. Accessed on the second floor of a grand old building right on the bustling Grand Via, via a perfectly marvelous classic old-world elevator (or, take the stairs). Someone will buzz you in upstairs, 24/7. Rooms are impeccably clean, and the bed was very comfortable. High ceilings, soaring windows overlooking the street--it was possible to shut out the light with those external shades so common in Spain. Of course there's street-noise, but after hours it's really not much. Amenities are minimal of course, but who cares? This place is a gem for world travelers who are looking for a great deal.

First time in Madrid and staying at a hostel. Staff were super friendly and accommodating, especially when I spoke very little Spanish. My room was clean. I definitely loved how the hotel was so central and walking distance to everything.

Very helpful and friendly perfect location on the Gran Via but not the rowdy side. Older building and elevator, but it always worked. Don't judge by entrance hotel is on second floor every thing was clean staff friendly owner tries to accommodate your needs. Hot water plentiful. Would defiantly stay again.
