“Hostal Alfaro, in Madrid's literary heart, impressed me with its unbeatable location and surprising amenities for a 2-star property, like the elevator. My room was bright, clean, and overlooked a quiet street from its little balcony-a steal for the price. The friendly staff sealed the deal; I'd happily return.”
