Madrid:nice, safe hostal for solo female traveller - 09/30/02 12:44 PM
I plan to spend several days in Madrid in October and am absolutely overwhelmed by the number of hostales!
Any recommendations on decent neighborhood? Is area around the Prado all right? I can imagine with high tourist volume that street crime might be a bigger risk. Mulling over Hostal Lopez , Hostal Dulcinea , and Hostal Jaen --also Frommers recommends the Hostal Residencia Principado C/Zorilla.
I also speak very minimal Spanish, (though am fairly fluent in French) so not sure where might be best for a yank like me
Anyway, safety is of primary concern--amenities not so much. Any feedback would be appreciated.
thanks!
