Hostel Palacio, Madrid Overview
Hostel Palacio is located in Madrid, Spain. Rated 8.1 out of 10 based on 461 guest reviews.
Hostel Palacio is a practical, family-friendly base in Madrid, Spain, set on Calle San Bernardo 63, 7o, right in the city’s central pulse. With a guest rating of 8.1/10 from 461 reviews, it tends to appeal to travelers who want to move on foot and keep their plans flexible. Check-in runs from 2:00 PM to 11:30 PM, and the 12:00 PM check-out suits day trips and late-morning starts. Reviews commonly point to the ease of getting around from this part of Centro, where you can reach Plaza Mayor in about 0.7 km and Puerta del Sol in roughly 0.8 km without relying on taxis.
If you’re traveling as a couple, solo explorer, or with family, the mix of family rooms and shared lounge/TV area helps different group styles coexist—some guests settle in for downtime while others plan their next walk. The hotel also lists air conditioning, non-smoking rooms, and non-smoking throughout, which matters in a warm-weather city and for light sleepers. Luggage storage and concierge service are useful when your schedule doesn’t perfectly match arrival times.
Expect a straightforward hostel rhythm rather than a resort feel, with facilities for disabled guests and wheelchair accessibility included for more inclusive stays. Nearby, the Royal Palace of Madrid is about 1.5 km away, and Retiro Park is around 2.1 km—two anchors for culture and green space. For road-trip friendly travelers, the lack of on-site parking is a reminder to plan your arrival accordingly, but the central location helps you spend less time commuting and more time exploring.
