Hostal Gonzalo - A restored 19th-century guesthouse in Madrid's Literary Quarter near the Art Triangle
Located in a quiet street of Barrio de las Letras, this 2-star Madrid hotel occupies a renovated 19th-century building just off Paseo del Prado. Hostal Gonzalo stands within a 5-minute walk from Anton Martin metro station and provides luggage storage and a tour desk at reception. The property sits 1312.3 ft from Plaza Santa Ana's tapas bars and less than 10 minutes' walk from both Puerta del Sol and Cibeles Fountain. Three world-renowned museums - the Prado, Thyssen-Bornemisza, and Reina Sofia - form the Triangle of Arts within walking distance. The Hostal Gonzalo's location places guests near historic taverns, antique shops, Spanish boutiques, and traditional bodegas. Atocha Station, Madrid's main railway hub, lies a 15-minute walk away, while Adolfo Suarez Madrid-Barajas Airport is 15.5 miles from the property.
Pros
Situated in the historic Literary Quarter where Cervantes and other Spanish literary giants once lived
Airport Express bus service runs 24/7 with a stop at nearby Atocha Station
Two nearby parking facilities: one facing Parliament and another near Plaza Santa Ana
High 9.2/10 rating on Booking.com with recognition from Rick Steves and Michelin guides
Cons
15.5 miles distance to Adolfo Suarez Madrid-Barajas Airport
Limited on-site facilities compared to larger hotels
“Hostal Gonzalo impresses with its prime location near Centro, nestled within a vibrant, less-explored neighborhood; the friendly owners foster a welcoming atmosphere, and the rooms are notably clean. Its historical setting enhances the comfortable stay, complemented by the manager's competence. In my opinion, it's a solid choice for those seeking both central access and local charm.”
