Yes, it is worth booking if you want a clean, cheap base within walking distance of the old town and the cathedral. Skip it if a firm mattress worries you or you want a gym, pool or restaurant on site.

This is our Budget pick in Alcalá de Henares. It fits couples and solo travellers who plan to spend the day on foot around the historic centre and only need a clean room to sleep in. Students or visitors with business at the university may also like it, since guests describe the street as close to both the old town and the university.
It is a 2-star hotel, so keep expectations simple. The listed facilities are free Wi-Fi, air conditioning and a 24-hour front desk. There is no gym, pool or restaurant in the data we have. If you want those, look at our Luxury pick instead.
Location and getting around
The address is Divino Figueroa, 10. Guests call it a central setting on a quiet street, and the location score is 9 out of 10, the highest of our three picks here.
Distances to the main sights are short. The Palace of Laredo is about 0.5 km away, roughly 6 minutes on foot. The Archiepiscopal Palace is about 0.8 km, around 10 minutes. Alcalá de Henares Cathedral is about 0.9 km, close to 11 minutes. These walking times are straight-line estimates, so real routes may take a little longer.
Parking is not listed among the facilities. If you are driving, ask the hotel before you book whether there is parking nearby and what it costs.
What guests say
The score is 8.1 out of 10 from 926 reviews. Two things come up most in praise. First, the location: quiet, central and near the historic district. Second, cleanliness: guests mention spotless surfaces, fresh linen, tidy bathrooms and daily housekeeping.
The main complaint is the beds. Many guests find the mattresses comfortable, but some describe them as hard or worn. That is worth knowing if you sleep badly on a firm bed. Among the 9 hotels we compared, this score sits near the bottom of the review ranking, so the appeal here is price and location rather than the guest rating.
Price and what you get compared with our other picks
The reference price seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults was €69 per night, about €138 in total. That was 34% below the sample median of €104.03 per night. These are reference prices, not live quotes, so check today's price for your dates.
For comparison, Travelodge Madrid Alcalá de Henares, our Best Value pick, was €93.49 per night with a score of 8.5 and 3 stars. AC Hotel Alcalá de Henares by Marriott, our Luxury pick, was €157.30 per night with a score of 8.8 and 4 stars. Cuatro Caños is the cheapest of the three and the closest to the sights. The others score higher and offer more facilities, but both are further from the old town.
A continental breakfast is listed, but whether it is included in the rate has not been confirmed. Check the rate details before you pay.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 9 eligible hotels in Alcalá de Henares. Cuatro Caños had the lowest eligible reference price once the upscale choice was set aside, and it pairs that price with a high location score and strong comments on cleanliness. For a short stay focused on the historic centre, that combination is hard to beat at this price.
