The room00 Chueca Hostel (formerly room007 Chueca) is located in the middle of Chueca and Malasaña, only about 100 meters from the Chueca Metro. This stylish hostel, which is very popular with queer travelers, will take you directly to the heart of Madrid's gay village on a budget.
Gay hotels in Madrid can be found most densely in and around Chueca, the gay district right in the center. Those who live here have bars, cafés and trendy shops right on their doorstep and can walk back to the hotel after a long night. The Chueca metro station is centrally located, and the major sights around the Gran Vía and the Paseo del Prado are also only a short distance away.
But you don't have to commit to the neighborhood. Madrid is also one of the most open cities in Europe: most accommodations deal with gay guests as a matter of course. In the neighboring neighborhoods of Malasaña and Justicia, as well as in the center, there are numerous gay-friendly hotels where no one looks askance when two men book a double room. Which location is worthwhile depends on what you have in mind. If you're looking for nightlife, Chueca is the shortest place to go; if you are planning museums and sightseeing, you will also live well around the Paseo del Arte. If your visit falls during the Pride weeks, you should plan early, because then the houses in Chueca are quickly booked up and the prices rise significantly. The following selection will help you find the right area and house for your stay.
