Located right in the heart of Madrid on the main upscale shopping street. Very vibrant, lively and robust. Lots of cafes, bakeries, clubs, theaters, eatery choices for every occasion and price levels. Museums, live shows, boutique stores, department stores. On the weekends, it is so much crowded that sometimes one flows with the wave. City of Madrid for the tourist has a bus service FREE that stops to the major shopping areas, museums and the central train station in the city. The food (Tappas) is served freshly prepared at most of the restaurants, particularly the famous grilled Sardines and traditional irresistible pastries!

Hostal Besaya is great! I was very lucky to find this place. It is about as close to the metro as possible and convenient walking distance to downtown Madrid. Incredible convenience getting around. It is in a great area and feels very safe. The view is stunning.

Old and creepy hotel with nice staff

The hotel is only one floor of the shown building in the picture. Entrance doesn’t look like a hotel. You enter an old building and take an old elevator to the 8th floor. Rooms are small. No wardrobe, fridge, microwave, or even a safe box in the room. In general old and small rooms only to take a shower and sleep. My view to outside was other windows and hotel towels being hung to dry. On the positive side, hotel staff are very nice and friendly. Both at the desk and house keepers. Also location is nice middle of everything.

The room was much smaller than the photos on the page showed. While it was clean and comfortable, it was little more than a walk in closet with a bed. The AC unit leaked when on, so much so that we had to place multiple towels on the floor beneath it.

Good Basic Spanish Hostel.

Excellent staff and very clean,if somewhat basic room. Great position just off the Gran Via with lots of bars and resturants very close by. Some noise from the renovations on the floor above.

Small room; however it’s a good value. Clean, comfortable and extremely good service. We were very late, had all kinds of travel issues. The front desk gentleman, Martin, was extremely gracious and went out of his way to help us. We were there only one night, great location, and very little street noise. We were very pleased.

Good stay

We stayed in a double room with private bathroom. I suggest you do this for every stay. The room was good and it had a small balcony with a nice view. The bathroom was small but that's something you should already know about all bathrooms in Europe's hostels. It was clean, though and the shower wasn't THAT small. They provide a large and medium towels, as well as a shower gel and bar soap. It seems to have A/C but we never had the remote in the room. To be honest, we didn't ask for it because we were hardly in the room and at night it felt warm and humod in the room but we opened the balcony and that helped. Of course it was loud feom having the door open so we had to close it eventually. Overall the stay was good and we were just there for 2 days.
