I guess you get what you pay for here. It's a hostel, so the situation was not exactly unexpected. But it was still a bit disappointing - the room is suffocatingly small, and it is very difficult to sleep when you can hear people walking about outside.

Is was very centric and cosy. The room (11) was kinda small, but I was travelling solo, so it wasn’t a problem.

I stayed for 5 nights in Sep 2019. Pros: The neighbourhood (Malasana) is very central and lively. The hotel is a short walk from Tribunal metro station. The hotel is very simple - there are 20 rooms, one floor up from ground level. Service and cleanliness were also OK. The shower design was nice in that the shower head is mounted directly overhead. Having a kettle to boil water in the room was a nice touch, as were the safe and fridge. Cons: The A/C unit in the room made drippy water noises. The sink in the washroom was a bit too shallow, making it easy for water to splash onto the counter. It would have been nice to have a bit more counter space around the sink. The bed is a bit on the stiff side. The neighbourhood, while lively, may be a bit too noisy for some - there are people out on the streets until well after midnight, which may be a problem if you like to sleep early.

The hotel is fairly basic but location is great and the rooms were clean.

The staff was very helpful! I told her some problems of the room and the next day they were all fixed. It was a very pleasant surprise. The location of the hostel is superb - close to the main shopping area.

A nice small hotel in old city. very convienient location -- 5 mins to Metro station, you find everything around and you can even just walk to the Gran Via / Madrid Palace /Cibeles, etc. The single room is small but you will not spend that much time in, so not a problem there. the price is approperate, room facilities are quite new. however the reception does not speak good english, and Bath room is very small. in total it is a good choice.

Good standard for being a hostel that central. Slightly difficult to find the place. The bathroom was tiny and the room's ventilation was rather poor, but it felt clean and the employees were helpful. Amazing location close to shoppuing, food and bars. Could here noise during nights but didn't bother us that much.

Hotel Malasana CC is a hidden gem. It is not the usual hostel or hostal that you will see being obvious from a street level. But nevertheless, the quality is just as good as a room hotel except that the size is much smaller. If your aim is quite straightforward - to have a bed to sleep the night away, and to have your own nice private bathroom, then this is the perfect place to stay. The Hostal is manned 24/7 by a reception staff who can open the door for you. It's a no frills, but very modern accomodation that is very clean, well-maintained and in a very central location.

Down comforters and blackout curtains included in description but not found in the room. Especially important for curtains. Wispy paper strips taped over window did little to block out bright lights that kept turning on and off all night. Otherwise this place was great for the price. Shower was hot and strong, it was easy to come and go, staff was friendly, bed was comfortable and the in room safe was a nice addition.
