We chose this hostal as it was within walking distance to and from the Atocha station. Tip: although it was about 10-15 minutes walk from Atocha, the walk is mainly uphill (not good with luggage), so take the metro to Anton Martin which really was about 50 metres from the main door. The main attractions were all within walking distance.... More

I didn't expect the amenities of a hotel. The walls are paper-thin and you can hear everything. The room and bath were immaculate. However, I had emailed ahead and asked if there would be someone on staff who could call for a cab if my shuttle failed to arrive for my 4 am departure to Barajas. I was assured that... More

I stayed with my boyfriend at Hostal Rivera for five nights in the beginning of October. Didn´t like it much. Our room was facing the very busy Calle de Atocha so we never got much sleep due to traffic noises (Madrilenos really like to have a honk competition in the middle of the night). The beds were pretty short so... More
