I am very interested to hear comments on how these two Madrid hostales compare ( Tijcal and Lopez ). Any major differences?
I am visiting Madrid in May (15-18) for three nights.
Looking for A/C -cold, nice and clean private bathroom, queen size bed (preferred) or two twin beds together and safety box.

Thanks!

Hi Jeannette! And welcome to our ALL SPAIN Message Board!

You'll be in Madrid RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE of San Isidro (patron saint of Madrid - holiday time) and the start of the month-long bullfight festival so these two places may already be booked up. Might want to check out availability first.

Regardless, you'll find LOTS of feedback previously posted on these two fine establishments by utilizing the SEARCH link above/right and typing as your keywords MADRID TIJCAL or MADRID LOPEZ and you'll find them.

In short, I've heard/read many many good things said about both. TIJCAL is located next to the Plaza Mayor and López is in the heart of the charismatic Huertas neighborhood - a personal favorite zone of MadridMan. I can personally recommend Hostal López as I've stayed there twice - great place - and its street has recently been changed to totally pedestrian!! This is great news.

Again, see if either of these two even have availability... or find ones which do, then do a search here to see what others have already posted. If you find nothing, then post again and we'll try to help. Well, we'll help you regardless but this is the most efficient path to take. Good luck!

Saludos, MadridMan
