I have booked in Hostal Alhambra in Madrid and Hostal Lineiros38 in Cordoba...What do you think? should I keep these or cancel and go to other Hostals...suggestions/opinions appreciated.

we´re in Hostal Alhambra now!

we got to madrid yesterday from san sebastian. after almost 2 weeks of rain and cold weather, there was muy sol in madrid.

Hostal Alhambra is right in the heart of puerta del sol - food, shopping, all the action you want. buses are right at your door step. they even have laundry service in the hotel. we have a double room with attached bathroom and TV, as well as heater and aircon, both of which we don´t really need. Breakfast is included in the price - at a restaurant that´s a minute´s walk away: orange juice, coffee and a huge jamon on toast.

i don´t know about any other hotels/hostals as this is my first time in Madrid, but it has worked out wonderfully so far. (Much better than Pension Dali in Barcelona, that´s for sure!)

Thanks for the info Sookkwan. Really appreciate it!
