Hostal Rivera

Good cheap option for a quick stop in Madrid

The hostel is very close to the train station and many good places to eat. It's ideal if you're carrying big packs as your luggage because it's only a five minute walk from the station. The area is safe and lively. I think the price reflects the room but it was great for a night and very clean. The staff is very kind and speak some English and helped us with everything we needed!

It was a challenge to find the hostel because the sign is not very visible. I also think the name has changed a bit which was confusing. It's also pretty noisy from the window because you are in a very busy area of town.
