This hostal is right in the barrio de los letras in the center of Madrid. The rooms are very clean, well equipped, wifi works in every room. We have stayed there many times and every time the staff is very helpful, even though we never know our schedule or length of stay in advance. Restaurants, bars shopping and entertainment are all at the door. we prefer it even to some of the small hotels in the area and the price is very reasonable.

Stayed here for 3 nights. It was an excellent choice for a weekend base. It's 2 minutes walk from Puerta del Sol in the heart of the city. It's not 5 star but what you do get is a central base in a clean hotel for £50 a night which is very good value by Madrid standards. Loads of places to eat and drink with walking distance. Would highly recommend if central is what you are looking for.

This great place offers fantastic value for money in a brilliant location in the very centre of Madrid. The room we stayed at had a little balcony overlooking Calle de la Cruz and we could just about see Casa de Abuelo-a wonderful bar serving gambas al ajillo (prawns in garlicky, spicy oil) and vermouth on tap. The room itself was clean and modern and equipped with all you might need! I would definitely recommend it to anybody who wants a nice, clean place in the centre of town!

We have stayed at the Marlasca on two occasions and intend to stay there again soon. It has authentic Spanish character and the rooms, although not luxurious, are clean and nicely furnished, with en suite facilities. The air conditioning makes the rooms comfortable even on the hottest days. A great advantage is that you're situated close to everything in the heart of the city, being just around the corner from Peurto del Sol and Santa Anna Square, as well as being close to Plaza Mayor. I would definitely recommend it.
