We stayed here for 8 nights during our trip to Madrid. Javier was great and he even gave us a discount because of our long stay. Javier's English is quite good as well as most of other hotel staff. Everyone was friendly and helpful. The front desk staff helped us with transportation information about day trips to Segovia, Toledo, and... more

I have just returned from a trip to Spain. I spent 3 days in Madrid and we stayed at the Hostal Acapulco. I was expecting the worse after seeing the pictures on the internet. I was expecting to take one look and finding another place to stay. To my surprise and as stated in other reviews, it was very clean.... more

Hostal Alcapulco was a great place to stay. It is completely charming and the staff is warm and friendly. They were nice enough to speak English (probably because they couldn't stand our Spanish!) and helped us find good places for dinner. We had two rooms, one with a double bed and a single bed, and the other with 3 triple... more

We stayed there four nights last December. The location was great, close to subway, restaurants, shopping. We had a room overseeing a small square, if you planning to go in the summer it can be noisy but I still recommend you to get a room with a balcony. The owner, Javier was extremely helpfull. more

The location is perfect, walking distance to all attractions and many subway stops within a 5 minute walk. The staff was extremely helpful and went out of their way to answer questions & offer travel help.... more

Great Value, Good Central Location, Very Clean, Front Desk very helpful, Free Internet more

Stayed there many times and can assure you that it is as good as ever, Vegeterian and Italian restaurant just over road or visit the best bargain restaurant in Madrid just around the corner, ask Javier for the name but ends in Rica. more

I support the positive comments of previous reviewers. Location is great, yards from a Metro station, minutes from the Plaza Major, and half an hour's walk from the major museums. The bar next door is a wonderful place for breakfast, evening tapas and watching Madrid life go on. The hostal is amall- only 7 bedrooms- and occasionally your fellow guests... more

Thanks to Rick Steves' Spain 2008 book for leading me to this great find! It was my first visit to Spain so I tried to read ahead about hostals. Hostal Acapulco is actually better than many of the hotels I've used in Europe (London and Paris included) in terms of location, price, facilities, and service. The rooms even use electronic... more
