About
Hostal Castilla II Puerta Del Sol
Hostal Castilla II Puerta Del Sol sits just off the bustling Puerta del Sol square, placing you within easy walking distance of Plaza Mayor and the city's main sights. The hostal occupies the first floor of a central building, with pedestrian-only streets around it that help keep things quieter than you might expect in this part of Madrid.
Rooms are simple but well-kept, many recently updated with fresh bathrooms. The 24-hour reception and helpful staff who speak English make check-in easy at any hour. It's a no-frills base for exploring the city, not a resort-style stay.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Basic hostal amenities — This is a 2-star hostal, so expect simple rooms without frills. There's no restaurant or room service.
- Street noise in front rooms — Rooms facing the street can be noisy, especially at night, though back rooms are quieter.
- No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a pet, this isn't the place — pets are not permitted on site.
- Parking may be tricky — Parking is listed as an amenity, but in central Madrid it likely means paid public parking nearby rather than on-site.

8.3Verified guest“We booked a double room and it looked brand new.”
8.3Verified guest“The room was well equipped and comfortable, and the staff spoke English and were very helpful. We picked this place for its location, which was great, and they gave us a room away from the street as requested. The surrounding streets are pedestrian-only, so it stayed quiet even with people out late — a big plus for sleeping in an unfamiliar bed.”
8.3Verified guest“Location is a short walk to the cathedral.”
