I would say this is more of a guesthouse than a hostel. I stayed for 3 nights, check in was smooth and simple and the man was very pleasant. The room was attractive and had everything i needed and was very clean. The location of this hostel is perfect. Right by Gran via metro and close to Sol and Plaza... More

I stayed at La Fontana for one week while I was looking for a permanent place to stay here in Spain (I'm a student doing an exchange program here). As my budget is fairly tight, I wasn't expecting much from such a cheap place, but I truly was pleasantly surprised. The room was clean and nicely decorated with a private... More

On my third trip to Madrid, I was looking for an alternative to a hostel, but still within my budget and at walking distance to all attractions as well as easy access to the airport. It was a stone throw from Gran Via, across from MacDonald, I found Hostalm La Fontana. I rang the bell and was admitted instantly. As... More

Stayed here for three days, luxury it's not but if you just want a cheap room with ensuite this is the place.

In first part of L there is bed and some shelves and old fashioned tv, in the second part there is washbasin, than shower cubicle, than toilet and... More

I wonder if some of the reviewers of this Hostal ever actually stayed in the place. I think some of them are confused in that the Spanish idea of Hostal does not equate with the English word Hostel. It is one floor of a building given over to hotel like accommodation – a very far cry from youth hostelling. Basically... More

I was been to Hostal "La Fontana" for four days with my boyfriend and we have found a Hostal convenient, very quiet and so nice and the staff always available. It's in the central location, two minutes from Gran Via. The room was very nice and clean.

The best about this hostal is the central location, two minutes from Gran Via. The room wasn´t very big but was confortable and we had clean towels every day. The walls were thin and we could hear everything in the others rooms and hall.
