  Friends Weekend Getaway

  24 Oct 2024

  Me and 4 friends stayed in here for 3 nights. We stayed on a private 2 bedroom apartment with a kitchen. The location is great as it is super central and within walking distance from Gran Vía, Opera and Royal Palace. There are night spaces just outside the building so you may expect some noise during the night, but nothing to worry about if you're a heavy sleeper. Definitely a fair budget place to spend some days in Madrid!

  To avoid: noisy/unwelcoming/dirty

  27 May 2021

  A friend of mine and I stayed in this hotel for 5 nights. - When we arrived there was no one at the reception desk, a tourist opened the door for us.- One towel had a black stain on it. Same for a part of the sheets.- There was a lot of street noise during the night.- When we got back to grab our luggage before leaving, we rang the door five times. The receptionist was present...To be honest, avoid if you can. You can find the same prices but a better service.

  Excellent customer service & nice appartment & terrific location

  15 Oct 2019

  I spent two nights with my parents there(14/10 and 15/10) . We were checked in by a lovely Venezuelan girl who showed us the apartment, explain the map and some things about the city. The first night, we were in the 4th floor- Room 4D which has a really nice view to the Santo Domingo Square and others nice streets. The second night, my parents were in a really big apartment 4A, which has two rooms and everything nice. After travelling for more than 1 month, the rooms in this hostal are even better that in a 4 stars hotel where we were. Finally, I left my parents there and the Venezuelan girl (Lidi ??? ) help them to book a taxi for the next day to the airport and also helped me to get my boarding ready.Thanks again to her and gala hostal for your hospitality.Best regards Jeison cepeda

  Great location

  03 May 2019

  Just returned from a 4 night stay at Hostal Gala with my daughter. Have to say I was a bit apprehensive to stay in a hostel as it always brings to mind dormitories and backpackers. How wrong I was. A bit hard to find as just a wooden front door with a tatty small flag above it. However once at reception the welcome was warm and friendly.The room we had was spotlessly clean, spacious with a great ensuite, and a small balcony overlooking the square. The beds were clean and comfy. The location is perfect as within walking distance of pretty much everything, Gran Via, Plaza del Mayor, Plaza del Sol, the Palace and Cathedral and the food market. Lots of bars and restaurants in the immediate vicinity and even though there are hot & cold beverage vending machines in the hostel, there is a great cafe opposite. The reception is manned 24/7 but you get your own door keys so can come and go freely. The only downside is if your a light sleeper you may need ear plugs. The square outside attracts skateboarders until quite late, the hostel is above an Escape Room venue which obviously has some excitable moments, the internal walls are a bit thin and the floor in our room was very squeaky but then it is an old building. Overall great value for money for a great location, good size clean room with a comfy bed.
