About
Hostel Palacio
Hostel Palacio sits on Calle San Bernardo, a street that puts you within easy reach of Madrid's historic core. The Royal Botanical Garden is 2.5 km away, and the metro is close for quick hops across the city. With a guest rating of 8.0 from 484 reviews, this is a dependable, no-frills base for exploring.
The hostel keeps things simple: shared bathroom singles and twins, air conditioning in the rooms, and a buffet breakfast that guests call basic but filling. There's a TV lounge and a small patio, plus luggage storage for early arrivals or late departures. While it's not a luxury stay, the combination of price and location is what brings people back.
