I stayed 3 nights at the Hostal Barrera, Madrid, Spain. Feb 23, 24, 25, 2012. I selected this hotel based on reviews I read and it's location. It was a little more expensive than I wanted to spend, but was well worth it even though no breakfast is offered. I took the airport bus to Atocha RR station. From there... More

Wonderful staff. Clean rooms and bath. Greta location near Atoch Station, Metro, museums and great restaurants. Trouble regulating heat and open window allowed main street noise. Quick Metro ride to Plaza Major which is full of restaurants. More

The woman who checked us in for our one night stay was very pleasiant. Rooms are quite small and you have to negotiate around the furniture and anyone else staying in the room with you. We asked for a quiet room but received a room overlooking the main street. Noisy. The recommendations of a location to eat and the restaurant... More

We enjoyed our stay there in a comfortable, triple room. Very friendly staff. Close to museums, nice tapas bars and subway station. Rooms clean and quiet. Good value for pricey Madrid. It takes about 1 hour to get there from the airport. Would probably stay there next time. More

We stayed at this hostel for 4 nights. It was located in an apartment building on the main street not far from Reina Sofia museum, about 20 minute walk to Puerta del Sol, and 15 minute walk to Atocha train station. Also in near proximity were Prado museum and Retiro park. Our room was one floor up from the lobby... More

The airline lost our luggage and the hotel staff couldn't have been nicer helping us track it down and dealing with the airline. Rooms were basic but clean. Great location to walk to anything. More

This place was fine for a trip in early July 2011, two nights. It's nothing spectacular, but I can't find any particular faults with it either. The room was clean, quiet (others have said it is very loud, but we did not have that problem at all), comfortable. It was a small room by American standards, but seemed fairly normal... More

Stayed here several days this summer and last. Perfect location for the big 3 museums. Easy walk to Atocha Station where the 2 euro airport shuttle arrives/leaves from--as well as trains to many destinations. Wonderful, helpful staff. Reasonably priced, spotless. Air conditioned. Reasonably priced restaurants in the back streets behind the hostal. More

Perfect! Extremely nice staff. Clean, silent, cheap and excellent location. If you need luxury this is not your place, but if you came to explore Madrid city, not hotel, and just want to have a good night sleep in cozy place this is perfect. Staff has a lot of good tips to do in Madrid, from trips to restaurants. Easy... More
