Madrid: Hostal NOT in city centre? suggestions? - 09/21/05 11:33 PM

I cant seem to find any hostals or inexpensive lodging close to the person I am visiting... She is near Columbia Station or Nuevos Ministerios (which is convenient via train). Is it a safe area?? She seems to want me within 2-3 train stops or at least on the same line......

Any suggestions???
