The Mad Hostel Madrid is located in a "Corrala". A "corrala" was a typical building in old Madrid, a building of adjoining apartments accessed by interior balconies which overhang a central courtyard or patio. The Hostel is right in the centre of town, only 10 minutes walk to the most well known museums in Spain, the prettiest squares of the city and in one of the most popular "fiesta" areas in the world.
