My family of 4 (2 were young adults) stayed at Benamar for three days, Dec. 25-28 and were very happy with this place. Very close to the metro, easy to get to from airport. We had two doubles with private bathroom and balconies facing the street. The rooms are spacious, clean and very comfortable. José Martín and his wife were... More

Never met such friendly owner, helps out with nearly anything and you run into him all the time. Typical traveller hostal but clean and safe. Takes about 20 minutes to walk to Puerta de Sol.

My wife and I stayed there for nine days. The location is close to the metro (Tribunal)--great for us as we took the metro from the airport (beware of pickpockets in the metro as you are a target with suitcases/backpacks. Have nothing of value in the backpack. The room was an interior on, facing the enclosed courtyard and on the... More

Great value hostal in a fantastic location. Convenient to all shopping, 10 mins walk to Gran Via, really handy for bars in Chueca. I will stay here on my next trip. The only negative thing I could say is theres no online booking and they don't respond to email requests, you have to call for reservations.

I could not mention any reasonable fault with our stay in this hotel. The staff are friendly and helpful. The hotel is minutes away from Tribunal metro -though you can easily walk onto the Gran Via and Old Madrid from here. My single room, though on the small side, was comfortable and cleaned everyday. My friend's room had a balcony,... More

My girlfriend and I went to Spain last week and stayed for 3 nights at Hostal Benamar. The owners are a couple. Both of them are super friendly and helpful. The location is excellent. It's between two metro stops "Tribunal" and "Alonso Martinez", and equally close to either one. "Tribunal" if the only stop in the entire metro system which... More

Spent three weeks here and would definitely recommend it for the price. The owner was fantastic and was always very accommodating and ready to answer any questions. It's not a five star hotel by any means but you more than get what you pay for. The location is also very good, lots of nightlife and decent restaurants nearby.

Very well located, very modern inside, very clean rooms. José Martín, the owner-operator, lives in the building and is available at the press of a button; I never had any problem in getting hold of him for whatever reason. Fancier hotels may have Internet access but no PCs: Benamar has both--although older model of computer and monitor. If you want... More
