Staying around Plaza de la Cebada: metro, bars and hills
The short answer
Plaza de la Cebada suits visitors who want a metro station 86 m away and mapped hotels within 463 m, with evenings out close by. Skip it if you need a street with few bars: OpenStreetMap lists 72 bars and pubs within 250 m, a high night-noise risk on our scale. The catch is that even the lowest of eight ring samples maps 20 venues.

Where to stay around Plaza de la Cebada
Plaza de la Cebada is the anchor for this guide, and the nearest mapped hotel is La Posada del Dragón, 212 m away and about a 4-minute walk. The entry named depto Luigi is 309 m away, Hotel Reyes Católicos 341 m and Hotel Ganivet 358 m, each about a 6-minute walk. Hotel Ganivet lists an address on Calle de Toledo, and Hotel Reyes Católicos lists Calle del Ángel.
Further out, CH Lemon Rooms is 421 m away, Hola Rooms 424 m, Hotel Pestana Plaza Mayor 447 m and Mayerling 463 m, between 7 and 8 minutes on foot. All eight come from OpenStreetMap within 500 m, with names, addresses and attributes as tagged and not verified, so check each property's own details before choosing.
Metro and walking times from the anchor
The nearest mapped metro station is 86 m from the anchor, about a 2-minute walk, and sits 3 m lower than the plaza. The map entry carries no line data, so check the Madrid metro map for the lines that serve your plans. Mapped points cluster close by: Alonso Zamora Vicente at 38 m, Rafael del Riego at 46 m and Jerónimo de Quintana at 98 m.
Walking times are estimates from the anchor, using straight-line distance multiplied by 1.3 and a pace of 80 m a minute. They are not hotel-to-metro or routed journeys, so a hotel listed 463 m from the anchor may be a different walk from the station. Puerta de Moros is 103 m away and Agustina de Aragón 113 m, both about 2 minutes.
Noise at night: what the map shows
Within 250 m of the anchor, OpenStreetMap lists 43 bars, 29 pubs and no nightclubs, 72 venues in total. That count gives a high night-noise risk on our scale. It is a mapped-venue proxy: it counts listed premises and does not measure sound, opening hours or how loud any street gets.
The eight ring samples spread the picture. The north sample maps 43 venues within 250 m, the highest, while the east sample maps 20 and the west sample 21. South and north-west map 28 each, north-east 29, south-west 26 and south-east 22. Even the lowest ring sample lists 20, so no sampled side is free of mapped venues.
Hills and walking around the plaza
Sampled elevations run from 638 m to 659 m, a 21 m spread. The anchor sits at 657 m and the metro station at 654 m, a 3 m difference. The east and north-east samples are highest at 659 m, and the north-west sample is lowest at 638 m.
This is a sampled elevation range, not a route climb or an accessibility measure, and it does not describe the gradient of any street. It does show that the west, south-west and north-west samples sit lower than the anchor, at 641 m, 643 m and 638 m, so ask each hotel about step-free access if that matters to you.

- Night-noise risk counts places tagged as bars, pubs and nightclubs in OpenStreetMap within 250 m: low under 8, medium from 8 or with any nightclub, high from 25 or with 3 nightclubs. It counts mapped venues; it does not measure sound.
- Walking times take the straight-line distance, add 30% for the street network and assume 80 m a minute, rounded up. They are estimates, not routes.
- Climb is the spread between the highest and the lowest sampled point in Copernicus DEM GLO-90 via the Open-Meteo Elevation API. Terrain models average the ground into cells, so a few metres either way are within their error.
- Searched on 13 Oct 2026: the metro within 1.2 km, hotels within 500 m. A place missing from OpenStreetMap is missing here too.
