It was a very nice place, once you found it, and the staff were very nice... once you found them. Some of the staff didn't speak English (which is 100% understandable) so it was difficult at times to communicate, but the man who was usually at the desk was very kind and he went out of his way to be...

Great value Hostal right in the city centre. We had asked for a quiet room, and that was what we got. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was clean, lots of hot water and comfortable. More

Hostal Carrera is a really good place to stay if you are thinking of going to Madrid.

The staff were polite and considerate and... More

This is a great place to put your suitcase down and relax. The rooms are quite and could not be better.

This hostel had a great location, we walked everywhere from here.

I stayed in the Hostal Carrera with my family, booking a triple room directly with the hotel. This is a great hotel, located in the very city center of Madrid, ES. It's a 5 mins walk from Plaza del Sol, where there is the Subway station and you can find all the shops-pubs-restaurants you'll need. Not only it's a 12... More

One stays at the Hostal Carrera for three main reasons: 1) the rooms are relatively inexpensive (e.g., 70 Euros per night double occupancy vs. 400+ per night at the Four Seasons), 2) the hostal is in a great location, and 3) the staff are friendly and helpful. I say this because I was very concerned when we first arrived. The... More
