Ok I was visiting Getafe for a football match so a logical base but this hotel is great value for money. Me a single traveller getting a double room and breakfast for £33 a night spot on.Never be fooled by the term Hostal it just means a hotel with some things not available i.e. in this case a lift. As only two floors not really a problem for most although clearly not good for less able. Room appointed well enough, spotlessly clean, decent bathroom, TV aircon and breakfast perfectly acceptable. Location seems a little strange but lots of little side roads like this in Getafe and perfectly safe. They dont get many tourists so the bad guys dont hang around when there are few pickings they all clear off to Madrid. Great hotel, Getafe aint pretty but lots of bars and food just do your research. Now for the big plus point......value sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much cheaper than tourist trap Madrid, however for only £3 return on the suburban rail (5 mins walk slowly from hotel!) 20 mins whisks you into Atocha or Sol and services run well into the wee hours. In fact the rail links into the airport terminal 4 from which two stops back on the metro takes you to T1/2/3. do not waste time metroing (is that a word) all the way with connections to Getafe take the surban train and short metro hop. The tourist tickets do not cover Getafe well not the zone A ones anyway but tickets are so cheap I wouldnt bother with a day ticket anyway.
Great base, great hotel and if you put a little effort into Getafe you will get a lot of reward. Beware very little English is spoken but any attempt to speak even the most basic Spanish is rewarded with a smile and a lot of help. Give it a try. One word of warning, there is some noise as its very quiet late at night but the sound of voices carries a long way. Not the most soundproofed of hotels but as the bars rarely wind down until early morning what the hell???

I stayed here recently on a business trip to Madrid. It was the perfect location as our kids were visiting the local school and we needed direct links into the city each day to go do all the site seeing and shopping.

Fantastic place, the staff were really friendly and the breakfast buffet was lovely too.
The only issue I had was that my neighbours had a baby and as the walls were quite thin I was kept up for a few nights but that is not the hotels fault.
