Loved by guests
"Originally, I had a room with an inner courtyard view that was tight, with workers making a lot of noise."
"The hostel has a great location, just a few meters from a very central avenue, Gran Via.."
"Loved the balcony!"
Central Madrid Location
Hostal Ballesta is on Ballesta Street, 150 meters from Gran Vía in Madrid's Centro district, between Chueca and Malasaña neighborhoods. Walk to Plaza Mayor (500m), Puerta del Sol (500m), or Gran Vía shops (2 min). Gran Vía and Callao metro stations are steps away.
Compact Comfortable Rooms
The hostel has 35 rooms (single, double, triple) with private bathrooms, free Wi-Fi, LCD TVs (Spanish/international channels), air conditioning, and heating. Some rooms include balconies facing courtyards or streets. Triple rooms (15m²) fit three single beds or a double plus single.

The 24-hour reception provides luggage storage, tourist maps, and transfer bookings to airports or train stations. Borrow items like hair dryers, ironing boards, or phone chargers. Shared amenities include a computer room (Windows 10, free printing), microwave, fridge, and coffee machine.
Self-Serve Convenience
No restaurant, but snacks and drinks are available. Use the communal fridge or microwave in the ground-floor dining area. Nearby eats include Chocolatería San Ginés (traditional churros) and Mercado de San Miguel (tapas stalls).
Walkable Landmarks
Explore Madrid on foot: Museo del Prado (20 min walk) showcases works by Velázquez and Goya. El Retiro Park (15 min) has gardens and the Crystal Palace. For nightlife, Malasaña's bars and Plaza de Santa Ana theaters are 10 minutes away.
“Hostal Ballesta's location, mere minutes from Gran Via and Sol, makes it a practical base for exploring Madrid. While the rooms are basic, they're clean and suitable for short stays, though light sleepers might find the interior noise a challenge. I think the hotel's commitment to upkeep and the presence of art in common areas suggest a level of care beyond the typical budget option.”
