Hostal Sil & Serranos
Under the same ownership as the Hostal Macarena, this hostal is decorated in a low-key, rather old-fashioned style, but every room is large by Spanish standards, and they all have air conditioning. Most have marble and tile baths, usually with tub showers rather than shower stalls, and simple, functional furniture. Corner room 203 has two separate balconies overlooking different streets. A solo traveler should ask for Room 311, which is tiny but has a romantic view of Malasaña’s red-tiled rooftops. For families or groups, several rooms are set up for three or four people and some fourth-floor units have a second small bedroom. Location is the shortcoming here, as you’ll probably take the Metro everywhere you go, but the low cost makes that a little easier to take.
