The hotel is very nice, could be 4 stars. It is amazingly clean. The location is very central, just off Gran Via. The staff is very helpful, we had a great time. The only thing and I think this is the only reason for being a 2 star hotel is that our window was facing to enternal walls and got... More

Ballesta is a good budget hotel, perfectly situated in the heart of Madrid. Room was spotless clean, quiet, with a room which actually was quite large for an affordable place in a capital. Staff is friendly, helpful and English speaking. We recommend the place taking in consideration that it is not a 5 stars palace, but a good modern best... More

If you're on the lookout for an affordable and comfortable place to stay in Madrid, then Hostal Ballesta should be among your first choices. Located in the heart of Madrid, but in a quiet backstreet off Gran Via, the hostel has quiet, modern and comfortable rooms that can give a lot of bigger or more-star hotels a run for their... More

I stayed at this hostal during two nights in December. The value for money is great. Perfect location in Madrid, very near to Sol and La Gran Via. Staff: very Nice and helpful. Rooms: Very clean and good size. I liked everything from this place. I highly recommend it.

STAY HERE! I found this hotel/hostal on booking.com for only 45 Euros a night and I wasn't expecting much but a bed and a shower. However, after arriving to the hotel we got far more than we paid for. Helpful English speaking staff, trendy decor, super clean facility, spacious rooms, reliable and free wi-fi, and a room with a balcony.... More

Loved it, loved it, loved it! This place has NO downside: it's right off Gran Via, so you cannot be more in the center. It's 2 minutes walk from Gran Via metro station. The place is renovated, it looks nice, has a nice hang out area and it is also squeaky clean. Staff is super-friendly and well-informed, and there's free... More

If it had a hair dryer, in Paris they would rank it as a 3 star hotel and charge double:) Location is absolutely fantastic - a minute walk from Gran Via. In 4 days I didn´t have the need to use public transport. Rooms are of decent size, cleaned on daily basis. Free wi-fi in the rooms. Staff is very... More
