Frommer's Review

While still retaining its marvelous 19th-century Belle Epoque facade and original character -- the creaky old elevator is as slow as ever -- this perennial Madrid favorite has been nicely renovated in most other aspects by its new owners, Hostales Sil & Serranos. The small- to medium-sized rooms all have neat new furnishings, comfortable beds, and pristine bathrooms with sliding-glass panels for the shower area. Inner rooms are quieter (this is a popular after-dark area), but those with windows facing the street have double panes to try and keep the noise to a minimum. The hostal is on a street just below the eastern side of the Plaza Mayor near an array of cavelike mesones.

Facilities:
Bar; lounge

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
