The Hostal Persal is built in a building dating to 1871 which preserves its original structure, and has 80 bedrooms. It is located in the Barrio de las Letras, in the very heart of the historical and tourist centre of Madrid. 100 metres from the Puerta del Sol, beside the Plaza de Santa Ana and very close to the Plaza Mayor and the Prado, Thyssen and Reina Sofa museums.. The Hostal Persal is located in a pedestrianised area with access for taxis and private vehicles to its doorstep. There are two public car parks just 50 metres from the hostal (Plaza Santa Ana and Plaza Jacinto Benavente). The Plaza de Santa Ana is famous for being an area for tapas and nightlife.

March/2011 Someone from London thinks:

  • Overall rating: 7.8
  • Would you recommend it? Yes
  • Positive: the friendly staff and the amazing location
  • Negative: the bedroom didn't have tea or coffee facilities for me to make a cuppa, and I also found the room just a little bit smoky smelling
  • I RECOMMEND it for... Young travelers, Older travelers, Budget travelers
  • I recommend it especially AGAINST... Families, Couples, Luxury, Peace seekers, Classic style lovers, Handicapped
  • Cleanliness: 5 the hotel itself was very clean, and so were the rooms but they could feel a bit fresher - my room smelt quite "smoky" and the decoration was very dark, which made it feel less fresh
  • Location: 10 Amazing location right in the thick of the buzz and life of Madrid, in the lovely literary quarter surrounded by lots of tapas bars and restaurants... really quaint little streets coming off the plaza and I felt very safe here
  • Common facilities and services: 5 Nice and good quality
  • Staff: 10 Lovely staff, really friendly and helpful, and very kind
  • Quietness: 2.5 It was actually quite noisy - I could hear everything coming from other rooms. However, this personally didn't bother me that much, though it might bother some people if they want some privacy
  • Room: 5 It was a cute little single room, but my only complaint is that it felt a little too closed in with not much space, and there weren't any coffee and tea facilities in the room. there was also a musty, smoky smell in the room, and the bed wasn't the most comfortable, but there was nonetheless a nice homely and quaint feel to the room, and I liked being there.
  • Value for money: 7.5 Excellent value for money
