Your hostel right on Madrid’s Gran Vía
We’ll be waiting for you up on the top floor (the 6th) of our neoclassical and modernist building. This is a landmark building due to its original architecture that shines with its own light at number 15 on calle Gran Vía in Madrid.
Opened in 1965 and recently renovated, our three-star hostel stands out for its strategic and privileged location in the heart of the Spanish capital.
We are just a few minutes away on foot from the Puerta del Sol square, Plaza Mayor square, the Cibeles fountain, the Puerta de Alcalá monument, and Plaza de España square.
From our establishment, you are very close to other tourist and cultural attractions such as the Prado, Reina Sofia, and Thyssen-Bornemisza museums, and the Royal Palace among other famous monuments in Madrid.
Just a few steps from our door, about 50 meters away, you can get to the Gran Vía Metro stop (underground) from which you can take a short trip to any of the tourist attractions in the city, and even to those that are a bit further out of the city including the IFEMA Convention Center.
During your stay, you will be completely connected to the rest of the city through public transport. In addition to the Metro, there are also several bus lines that stop on the Gran Vía.
