A wide variety of hotel-type accommodation exists including hotels, apartment-hotels, hotel-residencias, hostels and pensions.

Hotels are officially classified by the government from 3 to 5 stars.
We feel that this does not always accurately reflect the quality of a given hotel, though can be used as an indication of the level of service one should expect. Hostels and pensiones are usually classified from 1 to 3 stars. They vary in quality from austere to relatively comfortable. They are usually run by a family. Pensiones encompass much of the cheapest accommodation, and are most commonly used by young people who forego comfort for the 'experience'. Hostels tend to overlap with the middle and lower end hotels in terms of the creature comforts they provide, but don't generally provide quite as many services.

To a large extent, which accommodation you choose is determined by how long you are going to stay - and how much you are prepared to pay for the pleasure. If price is your main concern, then you can choose from the cheap accommodation list in the heart of Madrid.

We believe all of the following hotels and hostels provide above average value in their respective price range. However, if your experience suggests otherwise, please let us know!
