In the north of Madrid, on Calle de San Modesto, Hostal Home42 is a hostal (a simple Spanish guesthouse) with private bathrooms and continental breakfast. It suits business travellers and people catching a train at Chamartín better than anyone who wants to see the centre on foot.
Location and getting around
It is in the Fuencarral-El Pardo district (postcode 28034). Chamartín station is about a 30-minute walk away, or a few minutes by public transport.
For everything else you will need the Metro or a taxi: the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium is about 3.7 km away, IFEMA about 7 km and Puerta del Sol almost 8 km. Madrid-Barajas Airport Terminal 4 is about 8.5 km away.
Rooms and facilities
Rooms have air conditioning, a private bathroom, a desk, a wardrobe and a flat-screen TV. Bed linen and towels are included.
There is free Wi-Fi throughout the building, which is smoke-free. Breakfast is continental; ask whether it is included in your rate.
Who it suits
- A good fit if you are travelling for work in the north of Madrid and need a desk in the room.
- Practical if you are leaving or arriving by train at Chamartín.
- Ideal if you are visiting a match or concert at the Bernabéu and do not mind taking the Metro.
Good to know
You can check in from 15:00, but the property asks you to tell them your arrival time in advance. Check-out is until 12:00. If you plan to explore the historic centre, bear in mind that each journey takes a good half hour.
