About

Hostal Numancia

Hostal Numancia is a 1-star guesthouse on Calle Magdalena, right in the historic centre of Madrid. The location is the biggest draw: Plaza Mayor is about a 10-minute walk, Sol is 5 minutes away, and the nearest metro entrance is roughly 100 metres from the door — handy if you're dragging a suitcase.

Rooms are basic but well-kept, with heating, flat-screen TVs, and some with balconies. A few rooms have private bathrooms, while others share a clean, renovated communal bathroom. The 24-hour reception and luggage storage make early or late arrivals easy. There's no kitchen or dining area, so plan for eating out — and the surrounding streets have plenty of restaurant options.
