No nos dimos cuenta que la habitación que reservamos no tenían aire acondicionado, nos pusieron unos ventiladores, pero no hay circulación de aire por ningún lado lo que ocasionó que nos apretáramos, casi nos asfixiamos. Los baños eran compartidos tampoco nos percatamos de eso. El personal súper raro y desatentos. No tienen donde guardar las maletas por lo que cuando entregamos las habitaciones, tuvimos que salir al aeropuerto porque tampoco nos dejaron permanecer el la recepción.

For a one-night stay with a late check-in and early departure, this place worked great for me. The location is amazing, and I really appreciated the 24-hour staff at the door. I arrived in Madrid early in the evening and had an early morning departure, so it was the perfect setup for a quick stay.

I booked last minute and somewhat rushed through the process, so I missed that the bathrooms were shared. The property did have a kitchen, but when I travel, I prefer to eat out and experience the local food scene rather than cook.

Personally, I would not choose this property for a longer multi-day stay because I prefer having a private bathroom. That said, the building itself was beautiful and had incredible views.

The Building is an older building, classically beautiful but rooms have shared bathrooms down the corridor with poor lighting. You cannot tell if one of the bathrooms is occupied until you try the door, if you push too hard you can walk in on someone or they walk in on you.
The reception Team are absolutely lovely and as I said it is a classically beautiful building, it does need a lot of tender loving care (TLC)
It is very centrally located, so great for getting around Madrid
This accommodation suits students but sorry to say not for me on my next Madrid trip.
Thank you to all the Team on Reception and Cleaning Team you do an awesome job with what you have

They had a planned water shut off due to maintenance issues. They did not contact us in advance or give us a chance to get a refund. The water was shut off for over 8 hours making the bathrooms completely unusable. Even after the water came on the shared bathrooms were absolutely disgusting because people had used the toilets. The staff were rude and completely unapologetic when we tried to ask when the water would come back on.

The Gran Vía location has charm, and the price looks appealing. Unfortunately, that’s where the positives end.
We weren’t told at or before check-in about a €10 cash-only deposit for the fan remote — no air conditioning, just a fan. Arriving late with no cash meant a sweaty first night and an ATM hunt the next morning.
Three bathrooms on our floor: one had no toilet, one had an unusable shower, and the third had a broken shower. None had hooks or shelves. The building has a single lift, which was in use by housekeeping for much of our stay — we were on the eighth floor.
The room has frosted glass doors onto the hallway, so light and noise pour in constantly. On our last night, a neighbour’s room light was left on until 3AM. The windows onto Gran Vía look great but offer no sound insulation, and with no AC, sleeping through a warm Madrid night is genuinely difficult.
Cheap, yes. Worth it? Not for us.

This is the worst stay of my life. I regret choosing this place. Only did it for location but it was the biggest mistake. The staff is horrible. They came every night nock at my door and force me to stop talking and go to sleep. Literally. The employee overnight in reception is a trans that is a stalker. Is a person that seems to be mad a the world. I even asked why so much anger on his or her approach to guests . It was not Normal nor respectful. He or she was very rude unprofessional and aggressive at times. Do not visit this place. Dirty , noise, horrible staff . No AC, to be able use the fan they will ask for a
Deposit for the remote control. The fan doesn’t work without it. So if you don’t have cash you will have to sleep with the heat of the room. If you open window to refresh the noise won’t let you sleep. Terrible terrible experience. I will also write a review on google alerting people

The rooms were clean and the staff were helpful. However, one downside was the lack of luggage storage. I had a two-hour wait before my flight, and it would have been very convenient to leave my luggage securely at the hotel during that time. It’s a shame, as having this option would greatly benefit guests waiting to travel to their next destination.

We arrived and our room was not the one we booked, the door was broken and looked nothing like the pictures. They offered to move us to a better room like the one in the picture for 60 more euro. We paid and once again it was terrible, another broken door, the ac and fan didn’t work and while the room did have a view this time, the closet was broken, the door and locks were broken and the walls were paper thin. I’d steer clear from this place, there are better places for the same price.

No suelo escribir malas reseñas pero esta si ya que fue la peor experiencia en mi vida. El hotel no tiene nombre afuera, entras y tienes que verificar con la
Recepción si se trata del mismo que has reservado. La recepción en un mal estado viejo y deteriorado. Ingresas al ascensor y empiezas a circular por unos pasillos oscuros que ni cumplen con señales de orientación de lo que hay tras de cada puerta. Justo me entregaron una habitation al lado de la cocina con un ruido impresionante. Todo está deteriorado con mal olor. Se supone que a las 3 pm que es la hora de ingreso, todo el lugar debería estar aseado pero no es así , está sucio, oscuro y con mal
olor. Cuando llego a la habitación me doy cuenta que no corresponde con las fotos, ya que han hecho una gran labor de inteligencia artificial y han mejorado todos los espacios que esperas encontrar. Voy al baño compartido y es asqueroso, con cuchillas de afeitar en el piso, todo sucio y con un pésimo olor. Inmediatamente decidí reservar en otro hotel y salir de allí corriendo. La gente que se veía en pasillos no se veía bien y más bien este lugar de alojamiento parecía una residencia de citas clandestinas. Al expresar mi intención de check out tras 15 minutos , en recepción no me ofrecieron nuevas posibilidades de otro piso ni habitación. No te dejes guiar por la ubicación porque a pesar de ser estratégica no vale la pena el sacrificio de permanecer allí. No me retornaron el dinero y perdí 570 euros

Reservé este “hotel” para mi llegada y salida de Europa (set 2025). Y FUE LA PEOR DECISIÓN reservar este alojamiento.

Antes de llegar al hotel a media noche a realizar ml check inn me llegó un me face que debía de ir a recoger las llaves como a 200 o 400 metros a un hotel hermano de la misma cadena porque el recepcionista se enfermó y las llaves las dejaron en este otro hotel.

Al llegar a nuestro hotel nos dimos cuenta que el ascensor era extremadamente pequeño para nuestro equipaje. Subir nuestro equipaje fue toda una odisea. El ascensor extremadamente viejo y descuidado.

Al llegar a la habitación el calor era excesivo y la habitación no era ni parecida a la anunciada en sus páginas web. El sistema del aire nunca funcionó. El calor era insoportable. (no pudimos dormir un momento con tal asfixia) Al día siguiente pregunté por el aire acondicionado y me indicaron que para tener un control para el aire había que dejar 100 euros de depósito (situación que nunca me indicaron en el check inn).

Luego al otro día el agua se fue temprano y el hotel lo único que hizo fue poner unos rótulos avisando de la situación. No más hicieron por sus huéspedes.

Al querer salir del hotel un poco antes preguntamos para dejar las maletas en la recepción pero nos fue negado. No tienen un espacio para ello.

A mi salida de Europa preferí perder mi reservación (más de 120 Euros) y alquilé otro hotel más digno para la última noche en Madrid.

The good points are that bathrooms are clean and room as well. The negative is that they’re really stingy with the provision of towels and don’t change bedsheets if you ask them to. And there’s no luggage storage so you need to pay something outside

The location is good, but it’s not worth how disgusting the place is. The bathroom stinks so bad that I avoided showering or even using it — the smell was unbearable. On top of that, I could clearly hear everything from the room next door, including people being intimate, like I was right there with them. It was honestly horrible. 0/10 — never again.

Unfortunately, this is the first time I’ve ever had to leave a negative review. It was a last-minute booking, and in the rush, I didn’t realize that the bathroom was shared. That was my mistake, as I usually prefer a private bathroom. However, the shared bathroom was very dirty and had a terrible smell—almost like a public toilet. It was also located near my room, and people often left the light on, which reflected into my room because the doors were made of glass. In short, it was a disaster.

I was also shocked to find there were no wall sockets in the room. There were three lamps, but none of them were connected to plugs on the wall. Instead, I found a power distribution box on the floor (you can see it in the attached photo). I managed to get one lamp working and used it to charge my phone.

In the evening, there was a lot of noise both from the street and from other rooms—there’s no soundproofing at all. I don’t know why, but someone on the third floor seemed to be working with loud tools or machinery. On my first night, I couldn’t sleep at all, and on the second (and thankfully last) night, I woke up at least ten times because of the noise.

Sorry to say this, but that’s the truth. Never again.

Tiny room (which I was aware of, it is specified in the description) but it is NOTHING like the photos they show. Also, if you get as \"lucky\" as I did, your room might just be one of the ones in the kitchen. Yes, my room door opened into the kitchen and I had to hear everything happening in the kitchen at all times of the day/night through paper-thin walls.

They don't have A/C (which I also knew about, that's not the complaint), but they have ceiling fans that can only be turned on with a remote control—which they do not give you; you have to leave a 10€ deposit IN CASH ONLY to get the remote control. Zero empathy about not having cash, they gave me attitude about it.

Shared bathrooms (which I also knew about) but for the three days I was there, nobody cleaned them. The same dirty floor towel that some guest left there by the shower door, was there all three days... crumpled in the exact same way. Not to mention that because of the lack of daily cleaning, and the hotel being at max capacity (I know because I tried to switch rooms out of the kitchen), the bathrooms smelled like bad gas station bathrooms.

In regard to the area, excellent location. Plenty of shops and restaurants, walking-distance to clubs and bars, and great access to all kinds of public transportation.

Maybe if it had been cheaper, I would not be so harsh with my review. But when you consider that you can get a way better room for much less—in the same area, I don't want to sugarcoat the experience.

Rooms are worn down, there’s no room service either. Bathrooms were also worn down but mostly clean, often without soap. With only 3 bathrooms per floor you have to time your showers. Facing the noisy street and non-automatic lights in the hallway did affect the quality of rest. Staff was friendly

The location was great, but the upkeep of the place seems unimportant. There were broken tiles and flooring coming up in the bathrooms, the window was very drafty with the wind. I didn’t love that my bedroom door was IN the kitchen and the kitchen had a mishmash of dishes and silverware with random parts of things. Also it was a bit cold at night with only a sheet.

Beautiful room. Terrible bathroom situation - so smelly, they need their plumbing redone. Smelt like piss all the time and the showers didn’t have warm or hot water, stayed two days only had one shower because didn’t want to spend time in smelly cold shower bathroom! Good location though, right in the centre so easy to get to prominent places

This is a budget hotel nothing more nothing less. A few issues where the fan in the room didnot work, the front desk at 4pm had one person working and 8/9 guest trying to check in, It was a nightmare trying to book into a prepaid room.

Este hotel es horrible. Una experiencia fatal. Los baños sucios y muy apestosos. Se fue el agua y no hubo un plan para resolver con tan siquiera una botella de agua. La habitación llena de mucho polvo y los enchufes de electricidad dañados para cargar los celulares. En fin, una terrible experiencia. No lo recomiendo para nada.

Nuestra estancia fue muy mala. No es para nada parecido a lo que te muestran online. Cuando llegas es edificio súper viejo y las habitaciones parecen hospedajes estudiantil. El baño siempre estuvo sucio y con fuerte olor a pis, nunca hubo agua caliente cuando se lo informamos al agente nos indicó que verificáramos los otros dos baños del mismo piso lo cual verificamos y no había agua caliente. De hecho cuando hicimos check in otro huésped se quejó de lo mismo. La propiedad se muy vieja y deteriorada. La habitación tiene un solo ventilador de Techo y tienes que dar 10€ de depósito y es como único puedes prender el ventilador (luego te devuelven los 10€) lo hacen por malas experiencias con otros clientes que no lo devuelven el control del ventilador. En la habitación se escucha TODO fue muy incómodo ya que las luces del pasillo entraban a la habitación y siempre estaba iluminada y no podíamos descansar a parte del ruido de los otros huéspedes cada vez que entraban o salían de sus habitaciones se escuchaban las puertas súper fuerte al cerrarlas o abrirlas. Una mañana se escuchaba súper fuerte la conversación de una empleada con otra persona. Me da la impresión que le dan prioridad y sobre todo toman su tiempo a contestar cada comentario que dejan los huéspedes en vez de darle prioridad a arreglar la propiedad y sus alrededores.

Puntos positivo
1. Patricia una empleada muy buena siempre estuvo muy ajorada tratando lo mejor posible de atender a todos a la vez.
2. Localidad

This was really a fabulous value and an excellent location! However, being on the sixth floor and an elevator that rarely worked did make it challenging for the 62-year-old. The staff were amazing.
Despite not being very tidy clean, mostly due to guests leaving towels on the floor, etc. I would probably stay here again since I’m such as cheapskate lol & again location is fabulous for the value!

Nothing unique about the property but it was surrounded by very good entertainment in the park. Of like, not too far from the museum to walk, everything was in walking distance. I like the area.

The hotel is in the city center surrounding numerous eating and shopping stores, and closes to transportations and tourist attractions. There are all private rooms, clean and comfort, with more than needed bathrooms/showers, kitchens and washing machines.
