Hostal Lisboa

I’m really sad that this hostal is not on Unilocal,because it has good ratings on
and Trip Advisor. I’ve stayed here twice, and both times, I was quite happy with my stay.
The location could not be better: you’re close to Plaza de Santa Ana, La Puerta del Sol, La Plaza Mayor, El Paseo del Prado, and if you walk a little bit further, even the Royal Palace. There are a multitude of restaurants and bars around you, so you cannot go hungry.
The hotel itself: It is a typical building, in a small street, but you have a working elevator, and AC/​heater constantly working. The rooms are elongated and not too small, and our bathroom was pretty big. Everything was always clean, water pressure and temperature was always good, and the beds weren’t uncomfortable. Because Spain is loud, if you close the thick, wooden shutters, it’ll block out light and noise, which helps at night. The concierge changes, but they are all nice and proper. You must leave your key with them every time you leave, and guests are not allowed, which is kind of a bummer for some (I couldn’t let my uncle go upstairs to get his Christmas present, because nobody is allowed in.) There is ample closet space with hangers, and extra blankets, as well as free wifi.
The only reason why I docked a star, was for the no guests policy, and the fact that my friend’s bed was duct-​taped together. However, pricing is fair, and the proximity to everything makes this hostal a good choice.
