The Star, Madrid Overview

The Star is located in Madrid, Spain. Rated 5.6 out of 10 based on 6 guest reviews.

The Star is a straightforward stay in Madrid’s Lavapiés area, where everyday city life and cultural venues sit close together. The hotel is located on Lavapiés, putting you within walking reach of major sights such as Museo Reina Sofía (about 1.2 km) and the Prado Museum (about 1.8 km), while Puerta del Sol is roughly 1.5 km away for easy access to the city’s main sights. This is a practical base for solo explorers and couples who want to spend more time out on the streets than inside their room.

On-site, the focus is on comfort and basic essentials: rooms are non-smoking and the property has air conditioning, which matters in Madrid’s changing temperatures. Free wired internet is listed for guests who need reliable connectivity, and a safety deposit box is available for storing valuables during day trips.

Guest feedback is mixed, with a rating of 5.6/10 based on six reviews, so it’s worth aligning expectations with what you need most. Some travelers typically value the neighbourhood’s energy and the ability to move on foot to museums and central landmarks, while the limited review count suggests you should check recent comments before committing.

Check-in runs from 2:00 PM to 11:00 PM, and check-out is at 11:00 AM, which suits travelers with flexible plans. If you’re planning a museum-heavy itinerary around the Reina Sofía and Prado area, The Star’s Lavapiés address keeps your days efficient and your evenings easy to navigate.
