Stay in this hostal to save money while enjoying a convenient location near to a metro station and within walking distance of the Plaza Major, Gran Via and most sights. While I would NEVER take my girlfriend here, I can recommend it for the budget savy. Bring along a can of Lysol to give the room a good spay down! more

I chose the hostal numancia purely on the basis of price. At under 20 euro a night for a private room it saved me a lot of money while I was finding my feet in Madrid. I booked a single but was given a twin, with a sink, wardrobe and small table. The room was a nice size for one,... more

While this hostel is well located near the metro and in the center of town (though not in a very good neighborhood), that is the only thing that it has to recommend it. The whole place smells bad, and although there is no smoking in the rooms (supposedly), the air in the reception and the hallway is so thick with... more

I thought the hostel was well situated, but in fact the street was rather unsafe. Three guys surrounded me when i was drawing money and tried to deturn my attention to steal from me. The hostel itself: the building is nice and clean from the outside but the inside is not as new, it's actually being redone so maybe in... more

There weren't any available cabs that drove by. We had to walk up the hill a few blocks with suitcases. I would say the worst part... more

I just returned from a trip to Madrid with my partner where we stayed at Hostal Numancia for three nights after reading mostly positive reviews on this site. Even for a student used to the "hostel atmosphere," I found it to be pretty gross and overall a complete ripoff. The building itself was falling apart and it stunk, and the... more

Very clean and friendly hostel. Near to Metro station and the famous Plaza Santa Ana with its choice of tapas bars and restaurants. Within walking distance of all the sights. Shared bathrooms but there is a sink per room and everywhere is spotlessly clean. Extremely good value for money - my family and I have stayed there many times. The... more
