In a 19th-century building on Carrera de San Jerónimo, Hostal Astoria stands between Puerta del Sol and the Congress of Deputies. A hostal is a simple Spanish guesthouse. Some of its rooms have a terrace or a hydromassage shower, which is unusual for a guesthouse in the centre. It works well if you want to see Madrid on foot, from the Prado to Plaza Mayor.
