This was, by far, one of the best hostels I've ever stayed throughout Europe (and I've been in many places). If you're lucky enough to get a window and/or balcony overlooking the little piazza it will be even better. The staff were always court and when we complained re loud music and noise coming from a bar below (it was... More

Very well-located.Hostal Gala is close to several subway lines, which made coming in from the airport a breeze. And its central location made it possible to walk to pretty much any destination in the heart of Madrid. If you want to be cosseted, this isn't your place. On the other hand, I was concerned it would be incredibly bare-bones, living... More

I had a really great experience at Hostal Gala! The location is very central and convenient. The staff was consistent, friendly, and knowledgable! I was also very impressed with the communication of the staff after booking. I received and email asking when we would be arriving so that they could try to have our room ready! I believe our bed...

I rented three apartments at Hostal Gala for 13 people. Each of the apartments were of very good quality and the design of the room were very modern. The staff were friendly, the rooms were clean and the hotel/apartments were in a central location - what else do you really need? This is a great little find at such a... More

They cleaned the rooms everyday. the vue was not good, but actually thats not important ;) the hotel is in the city center (near callao, gran via, opera,sol) great location for sightseeing! . I recommand it to everyone !

Hostal Gala made my time in Madrid amazing! This place has the feeling of a boutiqe hotel. It was so awesome! 1. Located right at one end of Gran Via, the main street and shopping district 2. Located right next to Puerta del Sol 3. Located a few streets away from Fuencarral... which is where all the hip bars and... More

Ignore the word "hostal", this is a stylish designer hotel for the best price imaginable in Madrid. Starting at about $53, when the average hotel is $130 or so, and right in the middle of everything - what a nice surprise. The staff are meticulous and friendly - your room will be kept immaculately clean, every single day. Breakfast is... More

Conveniently located, very clean hotel (seemed much more than a hostel) with a super friendly and helpful English-speaking staff. The outside door's bell wasn't working when we arrived, but this problem was quickly cleared up (and in any case they give you a key to the outside door once you check in). We're a family of three (teenage son) and... More
