About
Hostal Besaya
Hostal Besaya occupies the 8th floor of a building on Calle San Bernardo, right at the corner with Gran Vía. It’s a 2-star guesthouse that keeps things simple: a lift to your floor, a 24-hour reception, and a tour desk for planning your days. The location is the headline — you can walk to the Convent of the Royal Barefoot Nuns in about five minutes, and the metro is on the opposite corner.
Rooms are compact but bright, with air conditioning, heating, and flat-screen TVs. Some have balconies with views over the city. The property is adults-only and non-smoking throughout, and there’s no pets policy — just the essentials done well. Guests consistently call out the cleanliness and the helpful, English-speaking staff.
