About
Hostal Gonzalo is tucked in a quiet street of Madrid’s historic Barrio de las Letras, a former literary quarter that hosts writers such as Miguel de Cervantes. The 19th‑century building offers comfortable rooms with private bathrooms, TV, central heating and free Wi‑Fi. From the hostel you can stroll to three world‑renowned museums – the Prado, the Thyssen‑Bornemisza and the Reina Sofía – forming the famous Triangle of Art. Nearby Retiro Park and the bustling tapas bars of Plaza del Sol provide even more leisure. Check‑in starts at noon and departure is by 11 am, while the hostel remains open 24‑hour access for guests.
