Check-In

Safestay Madrid Central lives up to its name, as you can’t get any more central than being steps away from Gran Vía, Plaza de España, and Chueca – Madrid’s most vibrant neighbourhood, less than a 10-minute walk away on foot.

All major landmarks and museums such as The Plaza Mayor, Royal Palace of Madrid, El Retiro Park, Plaza de Cibeles, or Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía and Museo Nacional del Prado, housing the icons of Spanish culture from El Greco to Goya, are within a 30-minute walking distance from the hostel.

If your legs give out, take a metro to anywhere in the city, e.g. to Bernabéu stadium, that’s 20 minutes away from the nearest metro station at Alonso Martínez. For further exploring, catch a train at Tribunal.

Your Hostel in Madrid!

Inside the hostel you’ll find an enthusiastic reception team working 24/7 for your comfort, as well as complimentary wi-fi and free linen. The private rooms with ensuite are stylishly designed creating a fabulous stay in the city, while the dorm rooms provide the ultimate hostel experience minus the pitfalls.

Head to the Rooftop Terrace Bar at our partner Casa Suecia, where you can take in breathtaking views of the city’s most vibrant neighbourhoods. Whether it’s for a small bite or drinks with friends while watching the sunset, this rooftop oasis promises unparalleled views.

If you’re planning a group visit reach out to our groups department to get the best rates and perks for your group, whether it’s a bachelor/ bachelorette trip or a sport team. Message them via email groups@safestay.com or give them a call.
