HOSTAL FALFES, Madrid

The metro (Line 1) connects directly to Puerta del Sol, Gran Vía, and Atocha in about 15 minutes, and Chamartín station is four stops away. The surrounding neighbourhood is residential and safe, with a wide variety of shops, cafés, and restaurants within a few blocks. An Aldi supermarket is a short walk for self-catering. For drivers, free street parking is available from 9pm to 9am, and secure on-site parking costs €12 per day.

Some rooms have air conditioning, while others rely on a ceiling fan - a factor to consider in summer. A sink is provided inside many rooms for convenience. Rooms vary in size: some are compact, others more spacious. Thin walls mean noise from adjacent rooms and the corridor is easily heard, so light sleepers should pack earplugs. Daily housekeeping includes towel changes, and beds are made. Shared bathrooms are located in the corridor and are cleaned regularly, but availability can be tight at peak times. Private bathrooms offer more comfort and privacy. Cots can be provided on request.

Dozens of eateries are within 300 metres, including Spanish, Peruvian, and fast-food options such as El Asador de Sacramenia and Manka Restaurante Peruano. An Aldi supermarket is nearby for self-catering groceries. The hostal's terrace provides a pleasant spot to enjoy takeaway meals or drinks.

The 24-hour front desk allows late check-in at any hour. Luggage storage is free and can be used before check-in or after check-out, making it easy to explore Madrid with a late flight. The tour desk provides maps and recommendations. Private parking is secure and garage-style; no reservation is needed. Other services include fax/photocopying and invoice provision. No laundry service or airport shuttle is available. The property is fully non-smoking except in designated rooms.
