VERSIÓN ESPAÑOLA
If you're looking for Madrid Pensions, Hostels (called "Hostales" in Spanish) and Madrid Youth Hostels (called "albergues" in Spanish) you're going to find them here at Madrid Hostels.com. There are LOTS of cheap hostels in Madrid, cheap pensions, and several youth hostels in Madrid in which to spend a night in Spain's Capital City.
But in What Madrid Neighborhood? When looking for cheap hotels and/or cheap hostels in Madrid, the recommended area of lodging in Madrid is the Old city center around the Puerta del Sol, Plaza Mayor, Gran Via, Opera, Royal Palace, and Huertas neighborhood like near the Plaza Santa Ana. Also included in the large "Old Quarter" are the neighborhoods of Chueca, Malasaña and La Latina which has a lot of night life and many restaurants. Areas just outside of the old quarter include "Barrios de Salamanca", further north in Chamberi and even as far north as the Plaza de Castilla near the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu - home of the Real Madrid football club. Wherever you choose to stay in Old Town you'll have easier access by foot, bus, or metro to the most interesting parts of the Madrid. Also consider taking one of the many Madrid Tours to see Madrid with a licensed tour guide.
What is a Hostel in Madrid? In Madrid, as in all of Spain and Latin America, hostels are usually very quaint (small), family owned and operated budget hotels and can be found in some of the most historical, interesting, active parts of Madrid at very good prices. Madrid Hostels typically give you - and you retain possession of - the individual room key and oftentimes a private, in-room bathroom is included. Sometimes, in older buildings and/or for single-rooms, the bathroom is "shared" and "down the hall". Remember, "hostels" in Madrid and Spain are called "hostales" in Spanish and should not be confused with "youth-hostels" which are called "albergues juveniles".
