About
Hostal Olga - Madrid
Hostal Olga occupies a 20-room building on Zorrilla Street, a short walk from Madrid's art triangle. Guests describe it as refurbished and fresh, with a family feel that suits both solo travellers and small groups.
Rooms are compact but well kept, with flat-screen TVs, free toiletries, and either a shower or bathtub. The guesthouse is not a full-service hotel, so expect a simple, efficient base rather than resort extras.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Compact rooms — A few guests mention that rooms are small, particularly the bathrooms, which are described as tiny but adequate. The guesthouse has only 20 rooms, so expect an intimate scale.
- Limited English spoken by some staff — While many guests found staff helpful, a few noted that some receptionists have limited English (and may not speak Italian). Communication may require patience or basic Spanish.
- Basic amenities only — This is a 2-star guesthouse, so don't expect fitness centres, pools, or on-site dining. Amenities are limited to Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, and free toiletries.
- No pets allowed — The guesthouse does not accept pets, which may be a drawback for those travelling with animals.

8.1Verified guest“I had stayed in Madrid before, but Hostal Olga exceeded expectations – perfect location, friendly staff, comfortable room, and everything within walking distance.”
8.1Verified guest“The location was great – very central but not in the thick of bars. The room was small but very clean and comfortable, light and bright, with a cute little balcony. The bathroom was tiny but adequate, with great shower pressure. Staff were friendly and helpful, though they had very limited English (and we had Spanish). It had a family feel and suited my daughter and me well; good value for money.”
