| When visiting
Madrid, can one think of a better location
to stay than across from the Royal Palace
and next to the Royal Theater (la Opera)? |
| This hostal is run by
a charming Spanish lady,
Victoria, who has lived here most
of her life and is a delightful
host. |

building is the opera house and
the yellow one on the right is
where the Hostal Valencia is
housed. |

the Plaza de Oriente as seen from
my
room
at the Hostal Valencia.
The
Plaza
de Oriente gardens,
fountains, hedges, etc., lie
between the palace and the Hostal
Valencia and the opera house.
|
There are three rooms
with a view of the gardens and
palace, one of which is
considered the ‘special
double’, more for the extra
space than anything else. There
is a supplement of 15 euros for
this room. |
| All the rooms
are clean and comfortable, with
en suite bathrooms, but there is
no room service or telephone
available. There is a rather nice
café downstairs which is great
for breakfast. |
| Recently an elevator
has been installed in the
building, thus making it
much easier for those carrying
suitcases and bags.

Note - Due to its location this Hostal is on the expensive side.
