Great Location
Travelled on 09/2025
The USP of the San Lorenzo is its location, being almost exactly between the arts area and the royal area of Madrid. Both are about 15 minutes walk either east or west. South is Plaza Mayor, a ten minute walk. Alternatively you can get the metro, as the hotel is less than 5 minutes from the convenient Gran Via metro station. There are also lots of good eateries close by and a minimart, coffee shop and great taco stor...

Great location

The location makes this worth staying at as the price was a decent value...

We made a last minute booking and chose this place because it was the only sub-300 hotel in the center. What a mistake it turned out to be. Everything about the place is strange - starting from the unsmiling, unwelcoming staff to the very basic rooms where you have to pay to access the safe. I could find nothing redeemable about this joint. Stay away. ...

Good value, excellent location
Travelled on 03/2024
I really just needed a safe space to sleep, shower and keep my stuff while I was on a busy and active holiday to Madrid. The hotel is clean, the location is excellent and the wifi is good (streamed a film in bed after a particularly long day of walking around the city). It's not the most modern, some of the other guests were a little noisy and I did find the room to be chilly at night - the heater never seemed to cra...
