Hostal A Nuestra Señora De La Paloma is on Calle de Esparteros, between Puerta del Sol and Plaza Mayor. A hostal is a simple Spanish guesthouse. It is a practical guesthouse with 24-hour reception and air conditioning in the rooms. It is a good fit if you want a simple base in the centre and choose your room type carefully.
Location and getting around
You are about 5 minutes’ walk from both Puerta del Sol and Plaza Mayor. Continuing west, you reach the Royal Palace in about 15 minutes; to the north, Callao and Gran Vía are about 10 minutes away.
Atocha station is about 30 minutes on foot, although from Sol you have direct Cercanías trains. The airport is about 12.7 km away, so for that journey the Metro or a taxi is better.
