It was a good stay. The place was located very well and close to Plaza del Sol and so much shopping and dining. Check in was easy and they are very proactive giving you instructions to check in. I took a star off because beds weren't too comfortable and we had to go up 3 flights or stairs with luggage. We appreciated they cleaned our room even though it was just a 2 night stay.

This hostal was clean, quiet, centrally located and an all around great deal. There is a great DIA grocery store within a 5 minute walk of the property. The AC and WIFI worked great and the beds were comfortable. We walked to all of the tourist spots with ease.

The hostal was good and the location convenient, its walking distance to everything, we went walking everywhere, it was great!!!
The room was good but a bit small, we were a family of 3, two adults and a 7yr old and it was a bit difficult since the bathroom was also small and no space to put your things on, other than that it was a great stay!

Great place to stay for a visit to the city. Location is really central and plenty of bars, restaurants and shop next door. The room was a decent size and the bathroom and shower were fine. Fresh towels provided and room really clean. I had a room overlooking a courtyard which was really quiet, slept fine. Check in is at another hotel a couple of blocks away and the staircase up to the hostel is fine for anyone in normal shape with a suitcase, no real problem with that. If the room had a fridge it would have been perfect. Really enjoyed it.

Really nice staff, very convenient location and enough room size. Be aware there is no elevator in case you are bringing heavy luggage. As recommendation, the bathroom size could be improved, the one in the room is a glass door which was not totally closing the bathroom.

Location, location, location!!! This hostel was in the center of the center, within walking distance of all the major attractions and museums. Restaurants and multiple dining options based on budget. Spent weekend in Madrid after traveling from Amsterdam. At midnight on Friday, Saturday and Sunday night felt like it was middle of the day. Streets were crowded and full of life. You have read that the hostel has no elevator and that the wooden stairs took some getting used to, but location made up for that. Room was comfortable and had basic amenities such as shampoo and soap. Towels and house keeping was done daily even though they said no housekeeping. The rooms were different, but standard, clean and quiet. There is no coffee or tea service in rooms, but cafes all around the area. I only took the metro/subway to and from the airport.

The property is in a great location and the staff was incredibly helpful. There was a boiler problem and we had no hot water the first day, but the staff was responsive and offered to move us to a new location for free. Luckily the problem was resolved relatively quickly. It’s a very small room, only good for sleeping not hanging out in. The door to the bathroom is translucent and there are large gaps all around the outside of it. Very little privacy there, so go with someone you’re comfortable with!

The property was great and clean! Better than I thought it was going to be. The room was reasonably sized and cleaned every day. It was also quiet and there was no external noise bothering my sleep/stay! However, hotel neighbours can be heard if loud (though mine weren’t bad). My entry card didn’t work at one point but the receptionist fixed it within 2 minutes which is great. The area is convenient to access the rest of the centre and royal palace and other touristy sites. The one reservation some may have about the area is there are a lot of bars / night clubs / ‘xxx girls’ facilities.. but really those are only active very late and don’t bother you. I’d definitely stay here again.

Well, it was not good value for money. Up two flights of stairs on wooden steps that were uneven. There was no elevator. There was no hair drier.The room was tiny and the bathroom tinier. The water in the shower was good and hot and powerful. The towels were worn out. Two outstandingly good points: 1. The lady who checked us in was super friendly, efficient, funny and helpful! 2. The location. This is a super fun part of Madrid, surrounded by all kinds of restaurants and not far away from major attractions, like the Prado and La Plaza Mayor.

Air conditioning was not efficient.
Bathroom door is glazed glass which is not comfortable at all
Stairs are not so safe to go up and down
But a good value for money

The room was very clean and good size. We had a triple room with three very confortables twin beds and balcony. The location excellent, right near everything. There were bars and restaurants very close and across the street is there also a wonderful “tablao flamenco”, and walking distance to the “Puerta del sol”. It is an old building, but it is completely renovated, and the bathroom is small, but nice. It is a second floor with no elevator, and the street can be a little noisy, if you try to keep the balcony open, but once we closed the double door it was a big difference, so no problem sleeping there.
