Our take
Hostal Alonso is about location and price: simply furnished rooms, some with balconies, a short walk from Puerta del Sol and Sol metro station. Guests give it 8 out of 10 across 405 reviews, which is a good result for a 1-star hostal. I would pick it to explore central Madrid on foot, and skip it if a quiet street or hotel facilities matter more.
- Book a room with a balcony if you enjoy a bit of outdoor space and people-watching.
- Take advantage of the central location to walk to Puerta del Sol and other nearby attractions.
- Use the Sol metro station, just a 4-minute walk away, for easy access to the rest of Madrid.

Why guests love itHostal Alonso puts families exploring Madrid on a budget right in the centre: Puerta del Sol and Sol metro station are a short walk away, so tired legs are never far from a ride back. The rooms are simply furnished and kid-friendly, and booking one with a balcony gives a little extra air. There is a lounge and free Wi-Fi, but no restaurant or pool, so meals happen in the surrounding streets. Guests rate it 8 out of 10.
