Hostal Samara is in Chueca on San Bertolame (spelling help!). It�s a two star hostal, but we paid budget prices. If you are travelling as a couple, definitely check out a hostal because you will save money. If you�ve seen my earlier thread about Los Amigos Backpacker�s Hostel, you�ll know that for a couple it�ll cost 30 euros a night and you�ll be stuck with bunkbeads. At Hostal Samara during the low-season it�s 22 euros a night for a double room without bath. We had a sink in our room though and the communal bathroom down the hall is just like Mom�s with a full size bath and hot water with water-pressure! We got a discount for consecutive nights, so the total price was only 40 euros for two nights. You can�t beat that! Chueca itself has lots of bars and nightclubs and is a pretty cool, central place to base yourself for a visit to Madrid. It is also the gay neighborhood of Madrid and offers an insightful slice of gay life in Spain. Check it out!
Sorry I don�t have the address...
Happy Travels,
Jill
