The hotel was easy to find and very accessible to and from the subway from the airport. Jose is a gem and very friendly, courteous, helpful, and above and beyond the usual hotel clerk. The hostal is on a quiet street that is just off the Gran Via and about 2 blocks from Puerta del Sol. There is no food option with the hostal, but many restaurants, including a very good vegetarian one, are within a few minutes of the hostal.
