hi all,

i've stayed at Macarena tons of times and they are hands down the BEST hostal in Madrid. yes, u can find cheaper but its BEAUTIFUL and the location is ridiculous.

the staff is awesome..ask for Jose..he's the NICEST guy on the planet. ask him to take u to Casa Mingo..its the best!!

tip: the balcony rooms are fantastic and quite romantic..not to mention its where the prince stayed once with a lovely blonde companion ;-)
its been totally redone..marble floors, hallway music, all amenities,,cable etc.

the rooms are very very nice..more like a 3 star hotel than a hostal.

Roy,

u're getting two off responses may be due to the fact that neither the day nor the night front desk agent speak any fluid amount english. the one that works at night is Jose..who is a sweetheart u might be better off calling directly.

hope it works out for u! enjoy ur stay!!
