Hostal Central Palace, Madrid

Our room was very spacious and clean. The staff was absolutely amazing, so helpful.

Tiny elevator so had to go up a lot of stairs if there were a lot of people trying to use it. We had a premium suite on the top with castle view but couldn’t really see the castle because windows were small and dirty. Floors creaked a lot so felt bad for room below us when we would get back late or get up early.

Beautiful room and view with a great location across from the Palace! Loved that there was an affordable breakfast downstairs and an elevator to our rooms. Alina at the front desk is so nice, welcoming and helpful!!

Nothing.

It was a great location in a very pretty part of Madrid. The main parts of the old city were easily accessible by metro and on foot. There were excellent restaurants all around. I recommend the breakfast vouchers for the associated restaurant downstairs.

The rooms was a bit small but that is be expected given the location.

The room was a really spacious size and had a perfect outlook over the gardens towards the palace. It was well located with lots of restaurants and cafes nearby. You could walk everywhere from this hotel and I really liked the fact is was not in a hugely busy area. As a single female traveller I felt safe and really enjoyed my stay at this property.

We had a wonderful view of the Royal Palace. Breakfasts were offered for a reasonable price at the next door cafe. The room was comfortable and roomy.

Everything was nice.

The staff was so helpful! They arranged our taxi to the airport at 4AM! The location is absolutely perfect and our room was huge!

The staff were welcoming, friendly, and helpful.

One staff member didn't speak English very well - but the other one did!

The location is close to everywhere. The staff is very helpful, a special thanks to Alina. Rooms are clean.

First of all, the staff (sorry forgot her name) literally came out on the street to guide us to hostal. The view from the room was the greatest I have ever experienced.

No complaints.

Location, room and the reception people!! Everything was wonderful…even the information they texted me prior to arrival. If I make it back to Madrid, I will definitely stay there again.

Central, traffic free, some original features.

Fridge temperature too low, very noisy from the restaurant next door.

Amazing location, the view from the room was stunning. The staff is so helpful and friendly. We could check in early which was a life saver after our long flight… we would come back!

There is a good amount of noise outside, so if you are a light sleeper that could be an issue.

Friendly and very helpful staff. Really good support.

The wooden floor were quite sqeekie. During night could be heard .

This room is wow. I did not expect to stay in such an amazing place. We stayed in Mid August and the price of this room was so cheap, I think other times it is a lot more expensive. But wow I loved this place, it was grand and I would find myself staring outside the window and watching everyone go past. The square itself is very nice and makes the whole area very quiet with just the sounds of people. The location is amazing as well, so close to everything in Madrid by walking.

We got woken up one of the days in the morning around 8am because the restaurant downstairs were dragging all their chairs around. Not sure why this particular morning, because the next morning it wasn't an issue.

Location was perfect! Near all the main sights in Madrid. Very comfortable and spacious room. Everything at walking distance. Metro station 1 block away

The location is very good, close to the main attraction with nice restaurants and also quiet late at night for good sleep

The location is wonderful, and it’s worth it to pay a little extra to get a room with a view.

Excellent location and view - we had the room with the rooftop balcony overlooking the square and palace; parking is easy under the square with an exit next to the hotel entrance.

The charm of an old palace decor that is not overly done Location was excellent across the gardens of the Madrid Royal Palace and at waking distance of central Madrid attractions. Receptionist was very helpful and polite

Nothing, ideal for solo travelers

We chose a room without a street view and we were happy with our choice. Big room (apartment size) with living & dining areas as well as a separate bedroom. Nice area to walk around. Close to the Palace and Opera metro. Complimentary wine was a lovely touch. Staff very friendly. Room was quiet.

Location and staff were excellent

Creaky floors made it hard to sleep

Excellent Location

The location is ideal. In front of a beautiful park, with an open-air restaurant in front, without traffic coming through. A couple of blocks from the Royal Palace.

Easier access to the first floor to reach the elevator to the reception. Pulling luggage up a few steps is challenging for older guests.

OMG!!! I cannot say enough about this property! If you have the opportunity to stay here please make the effort. The location is amazing facing the Royal Palace. It is within walking distance of most all of Madrid Old Town sites like Plaza de Sol, Plaza Mayor, Mercado de San Miguuel, El Rastro (on Sundays), Gran Via. All within 15 minutes or less walking! Go the extra mile( another 15 minutes walking) and you are in El Retiro park! The rooms in this Hostal are extremely large and beautifully furnished. All the rooms have a luxurious bathroom and at least one TV with free wi-fi and a wonderful guest basket which included champagne, wine, coffee, and tea. Definitely on par with some of the nicest full hotels in Madrid but at the price of a 4 star Hostal.

Maybe better parking in the immediate vecinity but even that wasn't such an issue. Great place and hard to find something bad here.

Good location, spacious rooms, clean and well presented rooms with additional gifts.

No bedside lights in our room.

Everything!

Our favorite location in Madrid. Chill and lovely to walk around. Gorgeous views of the palace from our top floor terrace. Charming traditional decor reflecting the regal area. Coffees and wine welcome was lovely! Wonderful, helpful staff. Good breakfast with couple. Large, lovely bathroom. Good AC.

Really clean, great location, friendly & helpful staff

The bed was a little too firm

Noise and cigarette smell from atrium (inside room) Loose bathroom/ shower fittings Marks on the walls No fire alarm instructions

My best stay in Madrid! The staff is truly incredible – they were so kind and even happily kept my luggage after checkout. The location is just fantastic – right across from the Royal Palace, with all the main attractions nearby. Within 15 minutes you can walk to Gran Vía and Plaza de España. The room design adds a royal touch, making the whole experience feel special. A truly inspiring place to stay!

More days) i will definitely come back
