I enjoyed my stay at La Fontana very much. The room was spotless, small but very functional. The staff was friendly and very helpful. The location of the Hostal is incredible, within walking distance to many places you'd like to visit in Madrid and with excellent connections to the airport.

The first room was unacceptable, second room was better.
Bed was extremely comfortable.
Some renovations and maintenance required
Location excellent if you prefer to be at heart of Gran Via, all shops restaurants bars 100m away down side street, so quieter than directly on Gran Via.
200m to Gran Via Subway.
Little bit pricey for condition of rooms

Hostal La Fontana doe not have clear and bold signage on the street.
I was pleasantly surprised to be given a room with a bathroom.
Staff were friendly and helpful.
Could I recommend that rooms be supplied with a secure safe to place one’s valuables and key documents?

I really enjoyed my stay here. It’s a great location. Not all the staff speaks English, but some do. They are nice, and were very helpful whenever I had questions. I really liked my stay in Madrid, and Hostal La Fontana helped me enjoy everything!

Perigunos landing point
The hotel location is great. Comfort for a budget is good. The receptionist is very helpful. Initially due to language you might have a different opinion. But she is a nice lady and helpful.

Property was a cool old building that unfortunately was lacking some maintenance!
Room was OK and it was clean but things needed repairs.
Signage could be better at the door explaining where check in was located.
The young lady who checked us in was very pleasant and kind!
Cheers and Gracia!

Simple, affordable hotel, conveniently located.
The single room is very compact (I'd go as far as saying the photos are misleading), with windows facing the building's ventilation shaft. Although the bed is a bit uncomfortable, the room provides all necessary amenities, and the hostel is conveniently located. It offers good value for the cost.

Hostal muito bom, excelente localização, bem próximo a Gran Via! As instalações estão de acordo com as fotos no site. A única coisa que poderia melhorar, seria o colchão, pois não é muito firme. Lençóis e toalhas ótimos, limpinhos e confortáveis. O pessoal da recepção sempre muito gentil.
