What guests think

Hostal Central Palace Madrid draws strong praise for its exceptional location opposite the Royal Palace and easy walkability, and for consistently friendly, helpful reception staff who make arrivals smooth and stays feel welcomed.

Rooms range from spacious options with palace views to interior units with quirks such as ladder or stair access to the bathroom, compact bathrooms, dated finishes, or dark outlooks. Cleanliness is generally reported as high, though a few guests noted pests or missed housekeeping, and there were occasional reports of elevator outages, maintenance issues like loose tiles or low hot water, or noise from nearby ventilation. A solid pick for sightseeing-focused stays that can tolerate an older, idiosyncratic setup.

Fantastic location. Our room was set up with a full kitchen but no utensils, towels, plates etc so largely pointless to have the kitchen. Floor tiles were loose throughout, no amenities such as lotion, tissues. Desk staff friendly, room was massive. Across from the palace and minutes to restaurants and shopping.

The building is well maintained and is aging well, just across the way from the Royal Palace and the royal theatre/opera house next door. A wonderfully efficient staff fulfills every request. This is in a charming area far from the bustle of the city.

Good location next to Royal palace. Easy to walk to most locations. Single room which require stairs to reach toilet. Fine for me but might not suit everyone. Interior is a bit dated but it works.

Posizione ottimale, in zona pedonale e a brevissima distanza dalla stazione della metro. La struttura si affaccia sulla Plaza de Oriente, di fronte al Palazzo Reale con vista sullo splendido giardino. Si raggiungono a piedi e in poco tempo le piazze principali del centro e la zona è ben servita per raggiungere dai mezzi per raggiungere le principali attrazioni e musei della città. Hostal davvero oltre le aspettative, con personale gentilissimo e struttura pulita e bel climatizzata. Consiglio, soprattutto per l'ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo.

Hotel is in a beautiful and excellent location. Best thing about the place! Next was the staff…very friendly, accommodating, attentive. Our room was huge and looked like it had been recently remodeled to suit a family or longer stay; there was kitchenette with a high table and stools, a sink and cabinets with some kitchen-type items but no stove. Although the bathroom was modern and very clean, it was oddly tiny compared to the main room. And we had a single window in the corner that looked down into the atrium, so the room was just dark. Other than those quirks, we enjoyed our stay.

A challenge to find the lobby to start off with, but a warm welcome was given. On returning to my room 106 early evening l could hear the noise of a really load extractor fan, so loud that even with ear plugs in you could hear it. I spoke to the man in receptor and he said it would stop around 23:00 and that was that - asked for a room change but nada - very little concern for what must be a regular occurrence as it can from a restaurant kitchen below
