On Calle de la Palma, in the heart of Malasaña, Hostal Jemasaca Palma61 has rooms with a private bathroom and a reception open 24 hours. It is a practical base if you want to stay in a residential neighbourhood of the centre and walk to Gran Vía.
Location and getting around
From the door, Plaza de España and Callao are about 10 minutes on foot. Puerta del Sol, Plaza Mayor and the Royal Palace are about 20 minutes away, and the Prado Museum about half an hour on foot.
For the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium (about 3.4 km) or Atocha station (about 2.7 km), the most comfortable option is the Metro or a taxi.
Rooms and facilities
Each room has a private bathroom, air conditioning, a flat-screen TV and a desk. There is also a common lounge and free Wi-Fi throughout the hostal.
Breakfast is continental, but it is not served on the premises: according to the property, it is taken at a café about 200 metres away. Ask when booking whether it is included in your rate.
Who it suits
- A good fit if you will arrive at odd hours and need someone to let you in at any time.
- Practical if you work from the room and a desk helps.
- Ideal if you prefer Malasaña to sleeping next to Sol, without giving up walking to the centre.
- Useful if you travel in summer and want air conditioning in the room.
