As far as pensions go, you won't find a more down-home place to crash than Hostal Marlasca, a pension tucked into a quaint side street in the center of Madrid.

The Marlasca is one of the most appealing bargains in the center of Madrid. We attribute its appeal to owner Adoración Gonzales' decision to leave her personal stylistic stamp on every corner and nook. Strange Spanish gizmos such as an ancient telephone box decorate the hallway. The Baroque pictures on the wall are actually puzzles she meticulously pieced together herself. Our verdict: quirky and cool.

A recent expansion racks up the room count up to 52. Rooms feature dark headboards and tall windows. There are some flat-screen TVs in the mix.

The hotel is located on Calle Huertas (a narrow street near Plaza Santa Ana which is host to late night partying) not far from Plaza Sol. Rooms are quiet, and exterior rooms all have balconies.

Note: This hotel was visited by a EuroCheapo editor and is recommended based on cleanliness, location, price and overall quality. EuroCheapo did not charge this hotel to be listed.

Huertas & Santa Ana

Huertas or Santa Ana? The neighborhood itself doesn't seem to know. But whatever its name, one thing's certain: This tiny but central stretch of the city just south of Puerta del Sol is jam-packed with people, attractions and excitement. Although digs in this popular 'hood can sometimes fall on the pricier end, there are deals to be had for travelers who crave a lively bar scene.

Also known as Barrio de las Letras (or "Neighborhood of the Letters"), it was a hot spot for literary gents of Madrid's Golden Age, and remnants of 16th- and 17th-century literary life still abound near Plaza Santa Ana. There's the Ateno, the Mueseo Cervantino, where the first edition of Don Quixote was printed, and myriad theaters and bars.
