The Hostal Gonzalo is one of several small hotels located in the same building in a quiet neighborhood central to the Prado, Reina Sophia, and Thyssen-Bornemisza museums, many restaurants, tapas places, and bars. It’s on the third floor and there’s a lift after just a few steps at the entrance.

Our room was small but comfortable, light and airy. For some reason, we could only get twin beds (and they didn’t seem to use the strategy of binding them together into a king sized bed that some hotels offer), I guess just because there are only a few rooms and the double-bedded ones were already taken. There was a wardrobe to unpack our things. 

Javier and his brother Antonio were absolutely dedicated to being sure we had everything we needed. Javier made several restaurant suggestions to avoid the over-priced touristy places and eat where locals go for high value meals. There’s also a nice common space with a sitting area where we played games or read.

Very good value for the price.

Lovely Family-Owned Hotel

This hotel was recommended by Rick Steves and you couldn’t ask for a better location!  Just a few minutes walk to the Prado, Plaza Mayor and everything else! Our room was sparkling clean, QUIET and comfortable. The room had everything we needed. Perfect for seeing Madrid! Unfortunately, we got sick as soon as we arrived in Madrid and spent 5 days in the bed in our room with our kids. The staff were so helpful and bent over backwards to make sure we had everything we needed. They really went above and beyond. I absolutely recommend this hotel and when I come back to Madrid this is where I’ll be staying!

Fantastic Location, Amazing Staff

Small place in a great location.  Half a block to numerous tapas bars where I drank and ate most of my meals. It is centrally located between the Puerto del Sol and the big park Buen Retiro.  It's only a bit away from the Neptune statue on the Paseo del Prado and all of the big museums.  
This was my primary place and I stayed there 3 times in two weeks as I did two other trips outside of Madrid.  The rooms are very clean and good to come home to for a shower and sleep. The street is quiet.
Javier and the rest of the crew were very helpful and accommodating

Small Place in Great Location

If you want somewhere clean and comfortable at an affordable rate in the centre of Madrid, this is for you. We had two rooms for three nights and were completely satisfied with our stay. The old lift is part of the charm and the welcome and attention by the staff was excellent.

Quick visit to Madrid.

Very clean and centrally located. I unexpectedly was between moves and found myself staying about 2 weeks here. It is run by a family and they were very kind, honest, and accommodating, even when I had to leave earlier than the stay that I booked it for. Some time after a friend was scammed by her Airbnb unexpectedly, and so I recommended her to go to this place and she loved it. I do not live in Madrid anymore, but would stay next time I am in town.

Great Place, Great Price

This immaculately clean Hostal is the perfect base to explore central Madrid - a block away from the Prado and two blocks from the other major museums. Yet so quiet - positioned in the historic literary quarter of narrow streets with restaurants, bookstores, galleries, and even a great charity shop up the street. Javier and his brother manage the Hostal beautifully. On the third floor with a reliable small lift, the rooms and ensuites are a good size. We regard it as our base whenever we return to Madrid!

Perfect Madrid base

My partner and I recently spent six nights in Madrid.  Hostal Gonzalo may not be fancy, but it met our every need.  It is centrally located, near both the train station - important for day trips - and the Old Town core.  The cozy and comfortable ambiance made us feel right at home.  The room and private bath were safe and clean.  The tariff (65 euros/night) was very reasonable. And owner Javier and his staff bent over backwards to help us.  We had a last-minute passport issue that delayed our trip two days, but Javier changed our reservation without any hesitation.  Upon arrival, he drew us a map to show recommended restaurants in the neighborhood (which were extremely close).  He was invisible most of the time but then would seemingly pop out of nowhere whenever we needed directions or had other questions, always with a friendly and helpful demeanor.  We've got a lot of places left on our travel bucket list so don't know if a return trip to Madrid will be in the cards soon, but if it were, we wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

Would gladly return to this safe haven in Madrid

Our visit started with a ride in a most interesting elevator.  It is small but works well unless someone neglects to shut the doors carefully.  We were received warmly by Javier. Waiting the few minutes in the lobby for our room  to be ready was no hardship.  We got lots of local information, map, keys and door code.

The room was simple but entirely adequate for our needs.  The bathroom was compact but efficient.  The Wifi was excellent and the lighting between the twin beds was great. Location was awesome with lots to see and do and many places to eat nearby.  It also felt very safe. It was not a problem to find breakfast nearby and the cost of the room was about 1/3 of what a nearby hotel would be.  If we are back in Madrid, we will certainly plan to stay here.

Great value for the money in a superb location

A "Hostal" in Spain is an informal hotel, NOT  to be confused with the American term hostel where there is shared dormitory space.  This was a simple but adequate room with enough space and there was a new bathroom. It's in a safe neighborhood and very convenient to everything we wanted to see. There were numerous restaurants in the area and the Prado was just 3 blocks away and a metro was the same. The owners were friendly and helpful and we would highly recommend.

Price Performer in Great Location

The hostal is clean and efficient, decorated in a classic simple style, on a floor of a building with an lovely old fashioned lift.  Good value for money and the location in the literary district is useful for visiting historical highlights such as the house of Lope de Vega (in the same street) and is close to Prado. The hostal felt secure, I sense it is family run and so there is always someone around. Javier is helpful and gave me great tips for breakfast - Chocolat cafe a few streets away - and Restaurant Cervantes - round the corner, I visited both twice, great food and authentic.  Take the bus from the airport to Placa de Cibeles, is 10 mins walk from there.
