HOSTAL MAIN STREET MADRID, Madrid

The hostal sits on the famous Gran Via, giving immediate access to shops, theatres, and dining. Callao Metro station is a one-minute walk, connecting directly to Atocha station (10 min by metro) and Barajas Airport (via Nuevos Ministerios). Puerta del Sol, Plaza Mayor, and the Royal Palace are within a 5-15 minute walk. The three major art museums - Prado, Thyssen-Bornemisza, and Reina Sofia - are a 15-20 minute stroll away. A 24-hour Carrefour supermarket is adjacent. Taxis to the airport cost a flat €30.

All rooms are on the 5th floor and include a private bathroom with shower, hairdryer, and free toiletries. Room types include Exterior Double with city views and Interior Small Double overlooking the courtyard - the latter is noticeably quieter. Some rooms have a balcony.

Extra beds are possible in select rooms for ages 6+ (request 24h ahead). Noise from Gran Via can affect street-facing rooms; daytime construction noise may occur due to ongoing renovation.
