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.

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.
