Hostal El Pilar - Madrid

Lowest cost and best hostal ... I would rather call it a hotel.. Independent room with private toilet and bathroom. The room which I stayed has a balcony also. Unbelievable at this price in the heart of Madrid. Staff is awesome and helpful, the room gets cleaned up every day. Not even a minute walk from Sol subway station. Restaurants, pubs, nightlife, main attractions everything are just stone throw distance. Only issue I had was my room was facing backside of hotel where they have lot of restaurants and bit noisy, but if you shut your door and shutter properly it reduced significantly. Room has TV and air con also. I would surely recommend it to all travellers.. And special thanks to staff of hotel, they all are amazing and great people.

Very central but a bit noisy at night.

Hotel staff friendly, location good (though the closet does not have elevator)

Very central. A real bonus was that we could leave our suitcases for 5 euros per day when we went hiking near Cercedilla as we were returning for a last night there.

Hostal El Pilar was perfect for my stay. It is located right in the centre of town, up a side street only 50 metres from Sol metro station. The hotel is secure with a robust entry door and 24 hr desk service (we tested it even at 4am). i stayed in a single room (#342) which was on the small side but met all my requirements; being clean, very comfortable bed, AC, and a really powerful hot shower. Nice and quiet room also.And the room rate was very reasonable given the location and quality of the hotel.
