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.

“No complaints - I had a really comfortable stay and would happily return. Everything felt brand-new, the staff were polite, and the location was excellent. San Bernardo tube station being about five minutes away was a bonus, and my room was tidy, bright, reasonably priced and had a balcony.”

“Everything was very well cleaned, the people were lovely, and the reception was open 24 hours. There was an LCD TV, a comfortable bed, and it was very quiet. Close to Plaza España and Gran Vía, and you can walk the entire city from there.”

Getting around Madrid

Malasaña: This is one of Madrid's trendiest neighbourhoods, packed with indie shops, vintage boutiques, and a buzzing bar and restaurant scene. It's a great spot for casual dining and nightlife.

Royal Palace & Plaza España: A short walk south brings you to the Royal Palace (about 1 km) and Plaza España. The palace and its gardens are a must-see, and the square is a major transport hub.

Temple of Debod: About 1.5 km away, this ancient Egyptian temple was dismantled and rebuilt in Madrid's Parque del Oeste. It's particularly atmospheric at sunset.
