About
Benamar Boutique
Benamar Boutique operates from the 2nd and 3rd floors of a classic Madrid building with a wooden spiral staircase. The hostal is steps from the Tribunal metro, a short stroll from Malasaña and Chueca, and about a 15-minute walk to Puerta del Sol. Guests get keys for independent access, like having their own flat in the city.
The hostal keeps things simple: clean, functional rooms with air conditioning, heating, flat-screen TVs, and in some cases a desktop computer. The owner is regularly mentioned for being helpful and available around the clock. With a 9.1 rooms score and 9.3 for staff, it's a dependable base for exploring Madrid on foot.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Rooms can feel compact — A couple of reviews describe the rooms as relatively small, with limited space or extra facilities. If you need lots of room, this may feel tight.
- No lifts — expect stairs — The hostal sits on the 2nd and 3rd floors of a classic building with a wooden spiral staircase. There's no mention of a lift, which could be a challenge with heavy luggage.
- Pets are not allowed — The policy is clear: no pets on site. If you travel with an animal, this hostal isn't an option.
- Limited on-site facilities — There's no mention of breakfast, a bar, or a lounge. The focus is on the room itself; guests say there aren't many extra facilities, though most didn't need them.

8.5Verified guest“Clean and tidy rooms with helpful staff.”
8.5Verified guest“Room was on the smaller side but fine for a couple, and spotless. Loved the shiny marble floor. Wi-Fi plus a desktop computer in the room came in handy. Brand new bathroom, towels changed daily, and it was warm despite freezing December weather. The host spoke good English and was very friendly. Hostal occupies the 2nd and 3rd floors of a beautiful old Madrid building with a wooden spiral staircase. Keys for independent entry made it feel like our own home in Madrid. Very central, barely used the metro even though Tribunal station is nearby. All this at a great price.”
8.5Verified guest“Jose, the owner, was most welcoming and gave useful tips on local bars and restaurants. He made clear he was available 24/7 and checked in regularly. My room was spotless and serviced daily, and the location is great for sightseeing. Excellent value.”
