Inexpensive Madrid hotel/hostal near Moncloa bus station on way to Camino?

[Zoe7]

Any suggestions for an inexpensive place to stay in Madrid near the Moncloa bus station? (Flying into Madrid, then bus or train to Ponferrada to start Camino).

Thank you

Moncloa is in a fairly high-rent residential area in Madrid. I did a quick search and think these are your best choices: Hostal Moncloa and Hostal Arrate

I decided to go to the Iglesia Santiago y San Juan Bautista and a wait until 1800 for it to open. Turns out there is a Camino marker and map for the Camino in the square outside the church now. After getting my credencial stamped at the church I had a short 10 km stroll to my first nights accommodation along the Camino at Hostal Royal Begona. This then shortened my first ‘full' day on the Madrid.

I think you have a couple of recommendations for places to stay near Moncloa now, but just a few comments about getting to Ponferrada.

There is a bus or two direct from the airport, which stops in Estación Sur and then Moncloa, if that fits your travel. And if you take the train to Ponferrada, Moncloa is not a convenient place to spend the night. The trains to Ponferrada leave from Chamartín train station. Buen camino!

Splurge on your last night, with a quiet good night's sleep, private bath, and no guilt with plenty of hot water. A taxi ride to the bus station is inexpensive.

There are many places near Chamartin. My daughter and I stayed at a reasonably priced hotel named Opera near the palace, then the next year an apartment turned air bnb. There were many of those. And I understand they've renewed the Plaza there. Only pick pocket incident in Spain in my 7 trips happened there on that plaza, but I interrupted the attempt.
