About
Hostal Riesco
Hostal Riesco is a 2-star property set on the third floor of a building on Correo Street, in the heart of Madrid's pedestrian zone. The Puerta del Sol is essentially on the doorstep, and the Metro station is a short walk away. The hostal provides a lift, 24-hour reception, and luggage storage, with vending machines for snacks and drinks.
Rooms are functional and clean, with options including doubles, triples, and quadruples — several with balconies that look onto the lively square. Air conditioning, heating, and flat-screen TVs come as standard. The location is the standout feature, putting the Prado Museum about 20 minutes' walk away and countless bars, restaurants, and shops within easy reach.

Worth weighing
3 to weigh- No pets allowed — Pets are not permitted at this hostal, so those travelling with animals need to look elsewhere.
- Limited to basic amenities — There is no on-site restaurant or bar, and breakfast is not always included — though some guests noted bread, cereals, and milk were available.
- Street noise possible — Rooms with balconies overlook a lively plaza, which adds atmosphere but could be noisy at night for light sleepers.
