Very basic and dated, which is fine. The issues were strong-smelling detergent on all the linens, thumping music I could still hear at 4 am, a shower that only worked with cold water, and thermostat that made the room either freezing or warm and stuffy. Keys (manual, not card) must be left with the front desk each time you leave the hotel. All the common area lights (hallways, lobby restrooms) are motion-activated with aggressively short timers, necessitating quite a bit of extra hand-waving. On the plus side, great location and front desk staff were pleasant. Overall would not recommend.

Honestly, I do not think this hotel/hostel was worth the amount of money. It is difficult to search for a hotel when you are not familiar with the city. After having spent days in Madrid I could have chosen better. We were not happy with our corner room (everything at an angle) and when asked to switch I felt we were tagged as difficult and relegated to a room that was down a dark lonely hallway with a window opening up to a shaft. The bathroom had mildew on the walls. The breakfast area is a windowless room and there is no attached bar/restaurant. Overall, the location was not bad and the staff was very friendly but personally, I would not stay here again.

Overall satisfied , they bed was small for 2 people , most places advertise a double bed as two twins or a queen this was an actual double bed , not at all comfortable for a man who is 6ft 5 !

The good service, near dining options, walkable to city center, stores and attractions. It is safe for a single person stay.

“This hotel has a great location and friendly staff. However, I had to switch from the first room I was given because it smelled bad and had spider webs. The room felt old and didn’t match the photos on the website. The second room was much better and cleaner, but the air conditioner had a timer and kept turning off. Overall, it was an average stay.”

The staff are very friendly. The property is walking distance near the main sites in Madrid. We were able to walk 7 minutes to Plaza cibeles. The area its at is the chueca but felt very safe and not noisy at all. Overall good experience with this hostal.
