Few other cities give as many headaches when it comes to choosing where to stay as Madrid! Being a huge metropolis, it is a little difficult for the tourist to work out which are the best areas to stay, the most central, the richest in clubs and shops or the most interesting from a cultural point of view.
The truth is that Madrid has a very good public transport network and therefore every area is potentially good for finding hotels and hostels. You can sleep outside the centre, perhaps taking advantage of cheaper prices and move around easily by public transport, or stay in the tourist centre of the city and move around mainly on foot.
On this page we have collected and highlighted the characteristics of each neighbourhood to make it easier to choose the best area to stay in Madrid.
If, on the other hand, you are looking for a list of recommended hotels organised by type (family-friendly, couple-friendly, budget, luxury) visit our Recommended Hotels in Madrid page.
Of all Madrid’s central districts , Sol, Gran Via and Opera are the ones favoured by tourists. It is therefore natural that in these areas there is a high concentration of hotels and inns in various price ranges, from cheap guesthouses to luxurious hotels with rooftop swimming pools.
Sleeping in these areas gives you the convenience of being already in the heart of tourist Madrid and you can therefore visit many of the city’s main attractions on foot.
Prices are generally more expensive than in other areas, but you may save money on public transport.
La Latina and Lavapiés are two picturesque, popular districts of Madrid, both very lively: the former is considered the more traditional area, while the latter is famous as a multi-ethnic area. They are ideal for those who want to get to know a more authentic Madrid, perhaps less elegant but with more character.
Hotels in La Latina and Lavapiés are slightly cheaper than those in the more touristy areas; from here it is easy to get around by public transport and reach all the main tourist attractions in no time.
Chueca is Madrid’s trendiest neighbourhood, much loved by the capital’s gay community. It is certainly the best choice for gay couples, who will find an open and relaxed environment here, but it is recommended for all travellers who want to stay in an area full of life just a stone’s throw from the heart of touristy Madrid.
Malasaña is the alternative area of Madrid that is somewhat reminiscent of London’s Camden Town. It is an exciting and inexpensive area, recommended for young people who want central convenience and nightlife.
The Salamanca district is one of the most expensive residential areas in Madrid as well as the luxury shopping area. Inevitably, hotels also follow this upward trend, with most establishments in the medium or high category; however, it is not impossible to find mid- to low-end accommodation.
Salamanca is the recommended choice for those who want to stay in an elegant neighbourhood, away from the hustle and bustle of the more touristy streets.
