Location wise this is located right close to Gran via and within walking distance to all Points of interest. I liked this hostal as it almost has everything you need for any city hotel. Perfect location, nice size clean rooms, Functional AirCon, Crib for our child, good staff.
Very nice, friendly, and attentive staff. Good value for the room and location right next to Gran Via. Biggest issue was with the paper thin walls and the guest in the room next door who had a payment dispute with 2 of the local girls he met outside the hotel, heard the entire transaction
The Hostal is clean, has comfortable beds, a very helpful front desk and is at a great location. Also, there a few restaurants and bars near by. Two blocks away from Calle Gran Via and a few blocks away from the Metro and Puerta del Sol.
Really really clean . Just basic but if all you have gone for is to see the city and only need sum were to get your head down well it’s more than adequate. It’s in a red light district but tha doesn’t really matter as it’s on almost every corner.
Me and my husband came back this year to the same hotel because we liked the service. We had no doubt to stay here this year. The hotel is near to Gran Via,restaurants and also shopping stores. The customer service was excellent,Claudia,Conchi,Barbara,Patriiciia and Isabel. We had to leave the hotel to go to Paris,Venice and Canary Island and our luggage were kept ind a safe and honest place. Defietly we will come back next year and recommendee it to our friends.Very friendly.
This review is long overdue but I truly had to take the time to leave a small note as we were treated so well at Hostal Ballesta and really loved visiting Madrid! The hotel is affordable and located in a great area close walking to restaurants and bars and shops, right by the centre! The hotel is rather small i think no more than about 30 rooms, we had a doubles room reserved, and there is free wifi throughout the entire hotel. Just excellent staff and hotel.
We stayed here for a week in November 2017. It is in a fabulous location, just a few minutes walk to Grand Via. Lots of working girls in the street but never felt uncomfortable with them. After a while you might get a smile or a nod of recognition! The rooms themselves are clean and reasonably well equipped. Housekeeping was efficient. There are no facilities for tea/coffee in the room but there is a machine which will vend a tiny coffee for 50c. Our aircon didn't work, neither did the international channels on the Tv - Overall - good budget hotel in great location
Perfect location for metro, bars and restaurants. Friendly staff. Room clean, tidy and bathroom seemed newly fitted. Samsung TV and decent air con. Lovely touch was the free mini bottle of fizz on arrival! Would stay here again if coming back again to see Real Madrid.
Stayed in this hotel for 1 night. Ticked all the boxes - Near a metro station, cheap, clean, relatively comfortable bed, aircon, quiet. Lady at reception very nice. Only one thing to warn you about - Prostitutes all down the road the hotel is in. You can ignore them of course but they are there. A good hotel of coming to watch a game of football and staying one or two nights
A basic but clean hotel in the centre of Madrid, within walking distance of many attractions as well as bars and restaurant. There was always plenty of hot water for showers. The room contained a double wardrobe, with hangers, but no drawers. The TV had English channels and the beds were comfortable. If we go back to Madrid we will return to Ballesta.
