Hotel decente para pasar una noche en MAdrid, se puede descansar bien, baño privado con buena ducha. Las habitaciones son más chicas de lo que aparentan ser en las fotos.
This Hostal Gala is a perfect stay to visit and walk around the center of Madrid, close to everything! Since it is a hostal, don't expect to find conditions like in a hotel. First of all it is located on a second floor, so, no direct access from the street to front desk. Anyway, it is worthy for the price you pay. I recommend it to visitors. There was a problem with the A/C one night. They have central A/C, so you cannot adjust your room temperature according to your needs. Also, the room does not have a bench to place your luggage. Rest of the things are acceptable. We want to recognize the attention from the guys at front desk any time. Ed and Ann

The property is on the third floor with no working elevator.
Amo este Hotel. Es cómo tener un apartamento en el corazón de Madrid, es un lugar familiar y yo lo recomiendo, ya me he quedado dos veces en distintas ocasiones y lo he disfrutado mucho. Perfecto para parejas, grupo de amigos o familia con niños.
Caution: be aware what you are booking.
This property was not worth my "hard earned" - it charged hotel prices (>£100/night in March) for a cheap and shabby double room and bathroom. We were so disappointed in its condition (dirty, bit smelly, aging decor, stained shower, cracks in the ceilings and walls) - not as portrayed in the pictures - we left and found a nearby hotel for slightly more money. The only redeeming feature was the helpful chap on reception.
If you are happy with "basic" - the location is good - central, but noisy with it. We actually found a smart hotel 5 mins away for not much more cost... even better location and of a standard you'd expect at this price.
I did request a refund but T&Cs don't allow this. I accept my booking stopped them selling the room, so lesson learned. The photos and even the reviews don't match the low quality of this accommodation, which is overpriced in my opinion. If you are looking for a double room - check nearby hotels and pay the extra if you can.
Despite the disappointment - we still had a great time in Madrid and will return. Just not to this place!
Great location. Small sign so took awhile to find. Everyone in the neighborhood was helpful especially the staff! Market next door as well as Metro access. Parking was $33/ 24 hours in the garage down the street be sure to confirm where to park for discount we messed that part up. Bring ear plugs if you aren’t used to city/ neighbor noise. All in all great experience!
Pasamos una noche en habitación de 3 personas y la estadía fue muy buena. Muy fácil acceso y llegada al hostal. Muy amables en la recepción y la habitación cómoda.

This hostal is located in a central location very easy to walk to important places and easy to get transportation. However, the place is very loud. You can hear everything meaning what other guests say next door, in the hall etc.
