This hostel is located not near, but actually in the city centre of Madrid, at no more than 20 meters from Plaza Mayor, and it takes 2 minutes to reach Puerta del Sol on foot. It's totally worth the price, given that the towels are changed every day, the rooms have a shower and the reception staff is available day... More

I checked Tripadvisor before booking a room in this Hostal. The first review found was very negative. Fact is the price is low and you do not expect a 5 stars hotel for it. The Hostal is very well situated in the Center of Madrid. One on vacation will not stay in the hostal the whole day. So get out... More

I advise everyone NOT to stay at the tijcal hostel... It is located in a shady street but close to the plaza mayor (which is the only positive thing) To enter the hostel you have to ring a doorbell and when you have entered you have to walk up worn off old stairs up to the fourth floor... The moment... More

We had to cancel reservation 24 hours prior to arriving due to urgent sickness and on doctor's advice to cancel our trip. We also had certificate available. However, Hostal Tijcal still charged us the full amount of the whole reservation despite the several requests I made to them to reconsider revoking their policy in such an instance. Their first excuse... More

I booked a small room- we got a very small room! It was fine though we just had to step over our suit cases to get in and out of the bathroom which was a bit of fun. This hotel is in the best location you could want in Madrid and has a safe feel at night. There is a... More

My husband and I stayed at the Hostal Tijcal in Plaza Mayor and I was not happy. The rooms look into a patio that is over a restaurant where they play loud music very very early in the morning and late into the night. The stairs leading up to the hostal are uneven and extremely dangerous and old. And then... More

Hostal Tijcal I is right in the centre of the city in ‘Sol’ and so convenient for walking to all the major sights. The reception is on the 3rd floor up quite a dark staircase with a rather old and small lift. The room was tiny with the double bed filling most of the floor space, but adequate and clean.... More
