About
Hostal La Perla Asturiana
Hostal La Perla Asturiana is a no-frills, 2-star accommodation on Plaza de Santa Cruz, one of Madrid's oldest squares. The hostal is set within a classic building, and many rooms open onto the plaza or an internal courtyard. It offers simple, clean lodging with essential amenities like air conditioning, heating, and flat-screen TVs, plus a 24-hour reception and daily housekeeping.
The location is the main draw: Puerta del Sol is roughly a 10-minute walk away, and Plaza Mayor is just around the corner. With 30 rooms, the scale is intimate, and the atmosphere is more guesthouse than hotel. Guests consistently highlight the friendly staff and the convenience of being able to step out directly into the historic center.
