Hostal López is located on Calle de las Huertas. This is an all pedestrian street and no traffic of any kind is allowed except for a couple hours for deliveries/shipping/receiving.

A taxi will take you as close as possible, probably one block away, and will drop you there where you'll walk the rest of the way. The fine people at Hostal López are not completely happy with the new pedestrianization of their street. While it looks nice and has really cut down on traffic noise, unfortunately they've also seen a drop in business because off accessibility.

But once you're checked in, I'd imagine it would be nice to walk out the door at night and not having any concern for cars/taxis buzzing by. I remember before the sidewalks were so narrow on each side of the street that two people couldn't pass without one going INTO the street and Calle de las Huertas was always had full, slow moving traffic. MUCH better now.

Best of luck! Hope to get your review of the famed Hostal López upon your return.
