Hello annegibbons! And welcome to our little ALL SPAIN Message Board.

I beliieve that Hostal Persal has been reviewed a number of times - including once by me as a "walk-through" tour of the establishment - so you should be able to find those already posted by utilizing the SEARCH function above/right with keywords MADRID PERSAL in this forum.

Hostal Persal is located just off the Plaza Santa Ana so you should be able to conduct a search of bars and tapas in the "Food, Drink, & Entertainment" forum and find dozens of suggested places (and there are LOTS!).

After your return, we'd love to have your own personal review of Hostal Persal right here in this/your thread. Thanks and enjoy your time in Madrid and Spain!

Saludos, MadridMan
