Casa Chueca

Chueca


If you don’t mind lugging your bags up to the 2nd floor, Casa Chueca is outstanding. Rooms are modern, colourful and a cut above your average hostal; in keeping with the barrio that it calls home, Casa Chueca places a premium on style. Add casual, friendly service and you’d be hard-pressed to find a better price-to-quality ratio anywhere in central Madrid.
