The hostal is 2 minutes walk from the largest square in Madrid, and is ideally situated to view all of the citys main sites. There us a supermarket across plaz de la Cruz, a corner cafe and Starbucks next door. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and whilst there is a drinks vending machine in the hostal, they will happily lend you a kettle so you can make a drink in your room. Our room was cleaned daily, and I would be happy to stay there again.

The room was very clean. It was also very small. The bathroom was also quite small. It is very centrally located and was a great location for walking the city. It felt more like a hostel as but all the rooms were individual. Cleaning staff came around regularly. If you are only looking for a place to sleep it was great. The square outside only had a couple of small cafes so we didn't hear the late night noise that Madrid is famous for.

Even though the room was in the small side it is extremely clean. Like very clean. Some of the towels were a little crusty perhaps needs some softeners. But bedding smelled fresh and clean all the time. We love that it is steps from everything major i.e. Plaza Major; Puerto del Sol; Gran Via; Mercado de San Miguel. Easy access to Metro and Renfe trains. Lots of restaurants all over the place. A Carrefour Express in the Square across from the hotel. Of course lots of American fast foods nearby. Will definitely stay here again. Oh and love the mini glass enclosed balcony in our room.

No-frills, basic room in great location

The location of this hotel is terrific, right at the hub of central Madrid, a half-block from the Plaza Mayor, a huge square courtyard that seems to be the center of local life, full of restaurants, etc. Otherwise, the hostal, which occupies the third floor of a tall building, is very small, plain, simple, no-frills room, not lovely but not terrible, more like a dorm room that is adequate but not attractive in any way. It does have a lovely view over Plaza Santa Cruz. The bed had only a top sheet, no cover. I only spent one night there, so it was fine, but I would choose somewhere else nearby and pay a bit more if I were staying several days or longer.

Quaint space, clean room, great view! Spent 4 nights and 5 days at the Hostal and would absolutely recommend to others and would stay in again if given the opportunity! Great location in Puerto Del Sol! About a 5 minute walk from the metro, shopping plazas and restaurants! Includes wifi and personal bathrooms inside room as well. Located on the third floor - stairs and elevator accesible. Very safe as well. Location is in the center of everything and noise was not an issue! I would rate this a 4.5 out of 5!

Todella keskeisellä sijainnilla, mutta silti ulkoa ei kuulunut juurikaan ääniä. Sijainti tosiaan hyvä ja huone pieni mutta viihtyisä. Ainoa miinus oli yöllä koettu tilanne, jossa hotellille palatessa avainkortti ei toiminutkaan ulko-oveen. Palvelunumeroon ei vastattu ja hetken aikaa näytti siltä, että emme pääse majoitukseen ollenkaan. Onneksi samassa rakennuksessa asuu ihmisiä joilla on fyysiset avaimet ja eräs asukas sattui tulemaan kotiinsa ja päästi meidät sisään.

Check-in perfetto, check-out ho trovato difficoltà nel trovare la persona all’accoglienza per pagare la struttura. Consiglio: se dovete pagare in struttura chiedete come fare già al check-in perché poi c’è il rischio che non troviate nessuno all’accoglienza. Per il resto è un ostello discreto, ma molto comodo per raggiungere le vie e le piazze principali del centro a piedi. È ben collegato con i bus e la metro.

Estafadores

Llegamos el viernes pasado a última hora, éramos dos parejas y habíamos reservado dos habitaciones dobles con baño. Cuando llegamos solo tenían anotada una de las reservas, pero tras darles el identificador de la reserva perdida la localizaron y admitieron que había habido un error.

El hostal estaba lleno y únicamente nos pudieron ofrecer una habitación individual SIN BAÑO, indicándonos que nos harían un descuento por los inconvenientes. Como entendí que todos cometemos errores y vi que la persona que nos estaba atendiendo estaba pasando un mal rato, sin ser quizás responsable del error, acepté esta habitación, a pesar de ser la primera vez en mi vida que me quedo en una habitación SIN BAÑO.

A parte de no poder ir al baño en toda la noche, ya que no me siento cómoda usando un baño compartido y, mucho menos, saliendo al pasillo de madrugada, la habitación que se nos asignó estaba en la recepción, con lo cual, desde las 7 de la mañana no pudimos dormir debido al timbre que sonó algunas veces, la gente haciendo checkout o consultando sus dudas, ya que se oía absolutamente todo.

Finalmente, el descuento que nos hicieron “por los inconvenientes“ fue de 20 euros: no pudimos deshacer maleta la primera noche ni ir al baño en toda la noche y tuvimos que dormir dos personas en un cama de 120 cm. Es decir, nos cobraron 75 euros por una habitación individual sin baño, mientras en su página el precio de una habitación individual con baño es de 60 euros.

Centralt og rent

Virkelig god og central beliggenhed, og rengøringen var fremragende. Værelset var udmærket, selvom det ikke var stort, men madrassen var hård og uden affjedring, ikke specielt komfortabelt efter de første tre nætter. Enten var der meget lydt, eller også havde naboen lydstyrken på tv'et skruet meget højt op den ene aften. Dejligt med lille balkon og udsigt over pladsen. Indtjekning kl. 0.40 foregik uden problemer overhovedet :-)
