I stayed in the Hostal Carrera with my family, booking a triple room directly with the hotel. This is a great hotel, located in the very city center of Madrid, ES. It's a 5 mins walk from Plaza del Sol, where there is the Subway station and you can find all the shops-pubs-restaurants you'll need. Not only it's a 12... more

One stays at the Hostal Carrera for three main reasons: 1) the rooms are relatively inexpensive (e.g., 70 Euros per night double occupancy vs. 400+ per night at the Four Seasons), 2) the hostal is in a great location, and 3) the staff are friendly and helpful.

We stayed at Hostal Carrera for 3 nights. The hotel has a great location for sightseeing and nightlife, spotless marble bathrooms and no street noise. Management was helpful in travel info/restaurant recommendations. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Madrid on a budget. more

Hostal Carrera is very centrally located in downtown Madrid--close to the Sol Metro. The owners are very helpful and speak some English, as well as many of their staff.
