A Little Guesthouse With a Long Madrid Story

Tucked into a narrow street just off the busy arteries ofcentral Madrid, Hostal Victoria I wears its history quietly. Of the three Victoria hostales, this one is the oldest — the original family project that opened its doors back in 1987 as a small, family-run business. Soon after, the owners expanded with the addition of Victoria II and then Victoria III, but the original stone of the story sits right here.
The setting still feels distinctly local. Calle de Carretas is a short, characterful street in the heart of the Spanish capital, the kind of lane where the everyday rhythm of Madrid steps around the front door.
Sixteen Rooms in the Original Victoria
Across its floors, Hostal Victoria I counts a total of sixteen rooms, all described by the property itself as spacious and comfortable. A recently renovated zone within the guesthouse is intended to round out a pleasant stay for passing visitors.
The scale is intentionally small, which gives the place the air of a neighbourhood guesthouse rather than a hotel block.
A Shared Reception Around the Clock
Because Hostal Victoria I sits so close to its sibling Hostal Victoria II — on Calle de Carretas numbers 7 and 3, respectively — reception for both properties has been centralised at Victoria II. That reception runs twenty-four hours a day.
Through it, guests can ask about the city and arrange some tourist services such as excursions, all from a single front desk just a few doors along the same street.
Practical Considerations
