- All rooms have private bathrooms
- Nice covered terrace filled with greenery, ideal for socializing

Bottom Line
The Hispano Argentino is a no-frills budget hostel in the heart of Madrid. The location on Gran Via is great for exploring the city on foot and public transportation is nearby. Rooms are small and come with flat-screen TVs and empty mini-fridges, but decor is dated and some guests complain about thin walls. The hotel does offer free Wi-Fi and all rooms have private bathrooms. A perk here is a nice covered terrace filled with greenery where guests can socialize in the evenings. Another nearby option is the charming Ada Palace, located across the street, offering more upscale rooms for similar prices.
