About
Hostal Jemasaca-Palma61
Hostal Jemasaca-Palma61 is a 30-room guesthouse set in Madrid's Malasaña neighbourhood, known for its narrow streets, vintage shops and lively bar scene. The location puts you within walking distance of the Royal Palace (about 1 km) and the Temple of Debod (1.5 km), with Plaza España and Gran Vía close by. San Bernardo metro station is roughly a five-minute walk, making it easy to explore the rest of the capital.
The rooms are simple and practical, each with a private bathroom, air conditioning and a flat-screen TV. The hostal runs a 24-hour reception, so late arrivals aren't a problem, and there's a communal TV lounge for downtime. It's worth noting that pets are not allowed and there's no on-site restaurant, but the surrounding streets are packed with cafes and eateries.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Street noise can be an issue — Several guests note it can be quite noisy, especially given the lively Malasaña area. Lighter sleepers may want to bring earplugs.
- Basic facilities — The hostal keeps things simple - no restaurant, gym, or parking. The TV lounge is modest, and the overall facility rating is below the rest.
- No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a pet, this isn't the place - the policy is strict no pets.
- Check-in window ends at midnight — While reception is 24-hour, the official check-in time runs from 15:00 to 23:59. Arriving after midnight may need coordination with staff.
