Crónicas de Madrid
Founded in 1561 by Felipe II, Madrid has evolved from a small Moorish settlement to a thriving metropolis. The city's architecture reflects its rich history, from the grandiose Plaza Mayor to the elegant Retiro Park. Today, Madrid is a vibrant cultural hub, boasting world-class museums like the Prado and Reina Sofia, as well as a lively nightlife scene. The city's famous siesta culture still lingers, with many shops and restaurants closing for a few hours in the early afternoon. Visitors can experience the city's passion for flamenco music and tapas at one of the many tablaos or bars.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Hostal Benamar, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on a higher floor (4th or 5th) for a quieter stay, as the lower floors may be more prone to street noise from Calle de San Mateo.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the ground floor (1st) near the service entrance, as this area may be busier and noisier.
Best views
Unfortunately, the hotel's address on a side street (Calle de San Mateo) doesn't offer spectacular views. However, rooms on the higher floors may have a glimpse of the surrounding rooftops.
Quietest floors
Floors 4-5 are likely the quietest, given the hotel's 5-story layout and the assumption that higher floors tend to be quieter.
🔊 Noise notes
Street noise from Calle de San Mateo, potential noise from the lift and service entrance area on the ground floor.

Dinheiro e moeda
Get a travel card →Euro, EUR
Use bank ATMs for the best rates; avoid currency exchange bureaux at the airport or tourist spots – they charge poor rates and high fees.
Visa and Mastercard are widely accepted; contactless and mobile pay (Apple Pay, Google Pay) are common in most shops, cafes and restaurants; Amex is less reliable.
Tipping is not obligatory but appreciated: round up in cafes and bars (5-10% for good service), 5-10% in restaurants for sit-down meals, and round up the fare in taxis; hotel staff get a euro or two for extra service.
Comer, Comprar e Viajar em um Orçamento
Cheap car hire →Café con leche from a bar or bakery – about €1.50-2.
Menu del día (set lunch) in a local bar or restaurant – around €12-15, includes starter, main, dessert or coffee, and a drink.
A main course of grilled chicken, fish or paella in a modest restaurant – roughly €10-15.
Grab a slice of pizza, kebab, or a bocadillo (sandwich) from a bar or takeaway spot near Puerta del Sol or along Calle de la Montera.
Mercadona, Carrefour Express, DIA and Lidl are the budget supermarket chains you'll find nearby.
Primark, Lefties and Zara (outlet ranges) on Gran Vía and near Callao; avoid boutique streets if you're on a strict budget.
A 10-trip Metrobus card (€6.10) covers Metro and buses – the cheapest way to get around; from the airport, take the Metro (line 8) with the same card for €4.50-5 or the airport express bus (€5).
Eat the menu del día for lunch, not dinner – it's far better value. Buy a multi-journey transport card rather than single tickets. Avoid eating or drinking on the main tourist plazas; walk one street away for better prices.
