Interesting area with good food and shopping
Dec 2022 • Family
We stayed in this area. It has some great restaurants with vintage shops and some vegan restaurants if that is your thing. The area has a bohemian feel and is close to Gran Via and the major tourist areas. I'm glad we stayed here.

Bohemian Paradise
Nov 2022
This is one cool part of town. There are lots of shops, restaurants, cafes, coffee shops (HanSo Coffee, our favorite is here), bars, markets… There is something here for everyone. This is a bit busier than Las Letras, but it is also closer to Gran Via. We found ourselves here more often than we realized during our 9 days in Madrid.

It is called the most magical district of Madrid
Jun 2021
Malasana is a district of Madrid full of cafes, bakeries and retro clothing stores. When delving into the district, you can see that what is most characteristic. On the ground floors of the tenement houses there are florists, tattoo studios, antique shops, shops with hand-made decorations, butcher's shops, fish shops, greengrocers, bakeries, boutiques, drugstores, haberdashery and of course bars and bistros. Quite a variety. There is a truly charming atmosphere here, transferred straight from a small town.In the Malasana district, you can feel a slight difference in height, which is rare in the city. At night you can visit avant-garde dance and rock clubs with live bands. It's worth getting lost, a little bit, in this area.

Nice area
May 2021
Extremely picturesque neighborhood above Grand Via, with narrow streets filled with restaurants, cafes and small shops. There are quite interesting buildings dotted with street art.

Nice place for food and shopping and easy access to some very central areas ( Gran Via). We really liked it, it is lively and safe st the same time and not very loud at night.

Our Favourite Area

We used a self guided walk from the Lonely Planet guide to explore this area. This was one of favourite areas in the city, great buzz, cute shops and restaurants. Would stay closer next time.
