Hi Lax Player,
I stayed in Hospedaje Madrid in October of 2002. They still had a sign above their door that said Hostal Madrid. I stayed in one of the apartments at Esperteros #8 I believe. This is between Puerto del Sol and Plaza Mayor.
I wrote a previous review, but in short, great location, a little noisy, but not too bad, excellent staff and clean enough. The apartment had some really old furniture, but it was comfortable enough. Oh yeah, they had an elevator, a definite plus.
