With all that said, the negative, which is not just at Persal but MANY older hotels in Europe. If you want to be right in the heart of Madrid for a reasonable price this is a great place. The location is great, Plaza Del Angel, right near Antón Martín metro stop. New room was nicer, faced an inside courtyard, had two windows and although small, by European standards it was a nice size. I mention this because I saw some complaints in reviews about the staff but I had no issues at all. It took a bit for the other room to be cleaned but well worth it. I asked if they could move me and they were nothing but accommodating. I went back to the desk to ask about the air and they said it wasn't on for the season. On checking I had a very hot room with a window into an air chute and no air available. I can’t wait to return to Madrid and when I do Hostal Persal will be my first choice of places to stay.… And the low price - which was really the only part of the experience that felt like a “hostal” instead of a proper hotel - was fantastic value. The staff was unfailingly helpful and friendly. Breakfast was plentiful, and included in my room rate since I mentioned that I followed them on Twitter when booking with them directly.

While it faced the plaza, the double set of windows made it nearly soundproof - and whatever street noise did come through was easily masked by a simple white noise app on my phone (which is something that everyone who complains about noisy hotel rooms in the middle of large cities should know about). My single room on the 4th floor was spotlessly clean and well appointed with a small balcony (great views!) and one of the most comfortable beds I’ve slept on in any of my travels. The location is excellent - a short walk from the Sol metro stop on a small and lively plaza that’s no more than a 20 minute walk to nearly every point of interest in central Madrid. It’s hard to say too many good things about this place. This was my first visit to Madrid and I am very glad to have discovered Hostal Persal.

But not a room I would seek out again as a grown up.… This is a place I would not hesitate to stay if I was in my 20s, traveling rough and looking for a good deal in the perfect location. Right in the heart of things, 2 blocks from Puerta del Sol (and its Metro station), surrounded by street life and great restaurants and bars. On the plus side, staff was friendly, the room did have an individual A/C control, and the bathroom was larger and nicer than you'd expect. This particular room was one of a ring of rooms at the top of a large open stairway from the ground floor lobby, which acted as a sort of megaphone/echo chamber for everyone coming up from the lobby at all hours (we brought ear plugs-not our first European budget travel rodeo). But overall, the vibe was of a slightly elevated dorm room. You can tell management was trying to pretty it up with some nice Mondrian-style decor. Our double room (#105) was pretty bare bones-2 small, hard beds, only one functioning electrical outlet under the desk, and a view out the window of the elevator shaft.
