Stay very close to the Puerta del Sol and discover Madrid
Our hostel is located just a few yards away from the famous Kilometre 0 and the Spanish Parliament in the Barrio de Las Letras. Some of the streets of this district have restricted access to vehicles; however, the hostel’s clients can access this area providing the hostel the number plate not to be fined. It is a strategic starting point from which you can visit many of the city centre’s tourist attractions that are just a short walk away: the Prado, Thyssen-Bornemisza and Centro de Arte Reina Sofía museums, the Plaza Mayor, the Palacio Real, the Teatro Real and many other monuments in the cultural old town of Madrid.
Also, we recommend that during your stay in Madrid you go and watch a show in the city’s theatres and cinemas, which are just a short walk away. You cannot leave the city without having sampled the Spanish gastronomy in the many bars and restaurants around Hostal Astoria.
