About
Hostal Fernandez
Hostal Fernandez sits on Calle del León, a quiet street in Madrid's Barrio de las Letras, just a 7-minute stroll from the lively Plaza de Santa Ana. The guesthouse offers straightforward, comfortable rooms with flat-screen TVs, air conditioning, and heating – some with small balconies that open onto the street. The 24-hour reception can store your luggage, arrange tours or tickets, and provide tourist information to help you make the most of the city.
The property is a short walk from the Prado and Reina Sofía museums, and the nearby metro station makes exploring the rest of Madrid easy. With a solid 7.7 guest rating from 873 reviews, Hostal Fernandez earns most praise for its staff (8.6) and central location, while the value score (7.2) is the lowest category – a typical trade-off for a well-placed city guesthouse.
