Expert review of El Pasaje
A good budget option in Madrid which is handy for shops and sights.
The Pasaje is a small hotel which occupies a building that dates back to 1900 on a narrow pedestrianised street. While on the basic side, it has all the facilities you’re likely to need on a short stay when you’re out most of the time anyway. It is officially a 'hostal', which just means a basic hotel, and not a 'hostel' as stated on the English version of their website. Don't worry, you're not going to be stuck in a dorm with a load of backpackers!
Location:
Near the Puerta del Sol and Plaza de Santa Ana. It doesn’t get more downtown than this. Really handy for shops, bars and restaurants and about a mile from the Prado. Between Sol and Sevilla metro stations.
Bedrooms:
The décor in the 14 double rooms is neutral in the extreme, but at least there’s nothing to object to. It’s a lovely old building though, so it’s a bit of a shame that the rooms are devoid of character. Bit snug too, but rates are so reasonable, I shouldn’t really gripe about that. There’s air-conditioning, mini-bars, televisions and safes, and a cable internet connection. While there’s no traffic noise, you might hear people walking past after a night out, so ask for a room at the back if you think that might bother you.
