Although we did not stay here, we noted its location was excellent. Quite close to the center of Madrid. There's a small square, Plaza Sta Ana, just to the right and a walking street (no cars) in front. The outside looked very inviting with small ironwork balconies on many rooms. It's a little larger than most hostels and has a coffee shop. It's also very close to Plaza Mayor with many good restaurants close by.

Soooo... you're giving us your review of Hostal Persal\'s location, then? hehehe.. Yes, it is well located. It must certainly be nice to walk out your front door, cross the street, and have a dozen tapas bars to choose from and then when you're done it only takes about 1-4 minutes to walk back "home". Nice.

So if you didn't stay there, WHERE did you stay? How about a review of THAT place?? Or if you'd rather not, a simple review of its location would be fine. hehehe.. Just teasing.

Saludos, MadridMan

EDIT: Nevermind. I just now saw your " Hostal Jaén - Madrid " review. Thanks for that!
