The right street
The streets between the monastery and the Plaza de la Constitución hold the classic small hotels — several with lonja views. Uphill toward Abantos gets quieter and greener. Near the station (15 minutes downhill) only makes sense for early Cercanías departures.
Prices and what you get
San Lorenzo de El Escorial lists around 28 bookable hotels and guesthouses, from roughly €54/night. Prices on the area page are live; booking 3–6 weeks out usually lands the best rate, with free cancellation on most rooms.
If it books out: nearby alternatives
If it books out or you want to compare: Cercedilla (from €45/night), Navacerrada (from €50/night), Gran Vía (from €48/night) — each with its own area guide on this site.
