print this pageDeep in the heart of Madrid beats the Hostal La Macarena. This cozy, tastefully decorated two-star is the perfect place for those who don't want to travel very far from their room to be near the action: It's located directly across from the popular Plaza Mayor. You also won't have to go very far to find Spanish fare: La Macarena is surrounded by tapas bars and traditional restaurants.
Most of the Macarena's 25 comfortable, intimate rooms have wrought iron balconies facing the beautiful, windy medieval streets of Madrid's center. (Only five face the interior.) All rooms are kitted out with new furniture and a perfectly peachy-pink color scheme. (Think salmon-colored curtains and linens with peach painted walls.)
The bathrooms are clean—they're disinfected every day—and come with soap and even full-sized bathtubs! (You may be tempted to balk at our enthusiasm, but complimentary soap and lounge-worthy tubs are unusual in Madrid hostels. Trust us.)
José at the front desk will help with anything you want, even in English.

Huertas & Santa Ana, Madrid, Spain
more information
Huertas? Santa Ana? Oddly enough, the neighborhood itself doesn't seem to know. But whatever its name, one thing's certain: this tiny (but central) stretch of city just south of Puerta del Sol is jam-packed with people, attractions, and excitement. Also known as Barrio de las Letras (or "Neighborhood of the Letters), it was once a hot spot for literary gents of Madrid's Golden Age. Remnants of 16th- and 17th-century literary life still abound around Plaza Santa Ana, including the Mueseo Cervantino, once the printing site of the first edition of Don Quixote, and the Ateneo library. Also leftover from it's literary past are the theaters and bars that have always made Huertas and Santa Ana lively and popular. Though digs in this popular hood can sometimes be on the pricier end, there are deals to be had for travelers who crave a lively bar scene.
