Madrid House

About Madrid House

Bold kitsch styling defines this 7-room gay guesthouse at Calle Barbieri steps from Plaza de Chueca, where modern design meets colorful aesthetic across air-conditioned rooms featuring private bathrooms (some with jacuzzi bathtubs), flat-screen TVs, minibars, safes, and free WiFi. The property sits 50 meters from Chueca's liveliest gay bars and restaurants with Gran Vía 80 meters away and major attractions like Puerta del Sol, Plaza Mayor, and Prado Museum all within 5-15 minute walks, while Chueca metro provides three-minute access. Reception operates from a separate building three blocks away which requires juggling luggage between locations, and rooms vary from compact standards to superior doubles with outdoor balconies overlooking Madrid streets. The 19th-century building delivers central Chueca positioning perfect for gay nightlife with complimentary coffee and tea throughout the day, though corridor soundproofing proves minimal letting noise carry between rooms and common areas feel more hotel-style than hostel-social. Clean rooms receive daily service, air conditioning works effectively during summer heat, and the location literally cannot be beaten for accessing gay Madrid, though the bathroom layouts in some units run awkwardly oversized relative to bedroom space with sinks taking up real estate.
