About

Hostal Biarritz

Hostal Biarritz is a no-frills, 16-room guest house on Calle Victoria, in the heart of Madrid's historic centre. It sits within walking distance of the Royal Palace, the Plaza Mayor, and the Puerta del Sol, with a metro station just steps away. Despite its compact size, it manages to offer soundproofed rooms, air conditioning, and flat-screen TVs, which is uncommon at this price level in the city.

The guest house is run by a small team that guests repeatedly describe as friendly and helpful. The property has a lift, key access, and 24-hour security, and it enforces a strict no-smoking and no-pets policy. Rooms range from singles to family rooms with balconies, and cots are available for younger travellers.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

  • Highly praised staff — Guests repeatedly highlight the friendliness and helpfulness of the team, even when language barriers exist.
  • Soundproofed rooms with modern comforts — Despite the central location, rooms are quiet, and the air conditioning, flat-screen TVs, and private bathrooms add to the comfort.

Worth weighing

5 to weigh
  • Small rooms — Some guests note that the rooms are compact, which is typical for central Madrid guest houses but may not suit those needing more space.
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in is only available between 15:00 and 21:00, which may be inconvenient for late arrivals.
  • Possible street noise — A few guests mention minor noise from outside, though the soundproofed rooms largely mitigate it.
  • No pets allowed — The house enforces a strict no-pets policy, so those travelling with animals will need to look elsewhere.
  • No on-site parking — There is no parking facility, so guests arriving by car will need to arrange parking elsewhere in the city.
