Hostal Veracruz pictures a beautiful bedroom with a beautiful view , it’s not true . The room is very small . There are no special amenities . No refrigerator, ironing board or iron in the room . There is no WiFi to watch a new movie , no water , you have to go to a tiny office to buy water from a machine for two dollars . No laundry service either . I would not recommend this place for the amount of money they charge . You get a view to the an alley with bars , that’s the view you get not what they advertise.

The location was phenomenal. Close to lots of tourist attractions and food spots. The room was clean and we felt safe. The only down side was the room was a bit tiny for 2 people but worth it due to the location and there was an elevator.

Changed my sheets and towels every day first experience in a hostel room was satisfactory although I could’ve used a small refrigerator really the only problem was that my room was above a bar and it was noisy until about 3 o’clock in the morning

I enjoyed a lovely private room in this hostel with a floor to ceiling window / small balcony overlooking the street and stylish decor. The shower was also nice and the bed was very comfortable. The front desk staff weren't the friendliest but were helpful when I needed to put food in the fridge, microwave something or store my suitcase, and one of them found me an adapter for my phone charger as well. The location is excellent, just one block from Sol and the Metro station there and walkable to some of the landmarks in Madrid. I definitely recommend this hostel as a reasonably priced place to stay in the center of it all!

Positive:
- great location
- helpful staff
- room cleaned every day

Negative:
- small room (even for one person)
- very basic bathroom
- the place is a bit dated
- no guest policy (it's in the small print of the booking)

Verdict: The hotel staff is polite and helpful, but all-in-all, this place is not good value for money IMO. I paid over £700 for 6 nights and it's a very basic hostel. The lack of amenities and the no guest policy is annoying and just makes the whole experience overpriced.
Would not stay here again.

However, please beware that there is a bar close by and the windows are VERY thin. You can literally hear everything. People were out drunk and partying until 6am. No one in my family could sleep through it. Such a bad experience but not the hotels fault

The only thing this place has going for it is the location. For what I paid, I would’ve been much better off literally anywhere else. We thought we were booking a hotel, but clearly that was a huge mistake this place is a complete dump. From the start, there’s zero communication no clear instructions, not even something as basic as telling you what floor you’re on. It’s disorganized and frustrating. And the noise? Unreal. The street noise is nonstop, making it almost impossible to get any sleep. If you’re expecting rest or comfort, forget it. This place is a mess from beginning to end.

Amazing location, right next to Sol metro station/Plaza del Sol. Can be noisy in the morning (shops opening/setting up) and at night (hum from hundreds of conversations and sometimes loud drunks passing through) but that's the trade off of staying in an area like that and I still slept well. The room was cute, clean, and the whole hostal appeared to have been recently redone in the last few years, albeit on a budget. I stayed 4 nights in a double room with 1 bed by myself and it was perfect. Would be cramped for 2 people I think, there isn't much floor space. Building was secure and there was almost always someone at the front desk. I needed random things like a cork screw and scissors, both of which they had which was practical. I'd recommend it for a shorter trip where you don't want to waste time getting to places and don't need a lot of space. I took a bus from the airport to Cibeles then the metro to Sol and it was very easy to navigate and find. I stayed in March and it wasn't cold in the room and the heater did kick on at night. There was an air conditioner for those staying in the summer. There is scaffolding all around the building so I wasn't really able to use the balcony but again since it was March I had the doors closed anyway.

Hostal Veracruz is clean and safe. Single rooms are small, cozy and functional, with private bathrooms and air conditioner. The rooms combine modern furnishings and fixtures with the traditional architecture of the building. The hostal is centrally located in the Puerta del Sol area; a great location, especially for solo travelers, with countless restaurants, bars and cafes and shops nearby, and within walking distance from major attractions such as the Prado Museum, El Retiro park, and the Royal Palace.

Great location, but bare bones

The hotel was easy to find and I’m glad there was an elevator, but our room was on the fourth floor so we did have to walk up around twenty steps. The room was small but enough room to lay out our suitcases which was nice. I wish there was a few more hooks in the washroom or in the room in general to hang more items. I didn’t like having to go ask the reception to use the hairdryer every time but I am glad they provided one. They even helped us to boil water so I would say the counter staff was very nice and pleasant. Their doorbell is very annoying and rings at all hours of the day when new people check in or when patrons forget their keys maybe. I would prefer if the doorbell wasn’t so loud to wake me up! The street noise is very very loud since they are below a bar that has live musicians all night but when you close all the shutters including the wooden shutters it is less noisy, but you will get no natural light this way. However I think with the location this is unavoided. People often forget to close the lobby door behind them but I think it’s crucial for safety to close this! Maybe the signage on the ground floor could be more obvious.

Small rooms with a lot of value

Great location! Right off Sol Plaza, so I could see the Christmas tree going up from the balcony. The room was small, but clean and was bright. Bathroom sink was tiny and hard to use. Toilet was fine for me, but I could see someone else bigger having issues. Shower was good. At night you can hear partiers until 5am, which is probably true for anywhere with bars nearby, but it's not too loud. I wore ear plugs to drown out any remaining noise with the windows shut. Overall, great value for the price and views.

This is clearly a two-star \"hostal,\" so understand what you are getting before staying there. It is one floor of rental rooms (3rd floor) in a very old building with two other different hostals on the 2nd and 4th floors and a common first floor entrance to all three. The room was very small and very low-end, the paint on the window frames was peeling, and the white towels were old and rough and brownish as if washed in rusty water with stains. We found no remote for either the TV or the AC, and the person at the desk left immediately after our late check in. There is no resemblance between what we got and the pictures of rooms on the actual Hostal Veracruz website.

Having said that, the room and its relatively newish bathroom were clean, and I believe the room was safe. The location in Madrid Centro next to Puerta del Sol is excellent though somewhat noisy. Taxis cannot access the hostal directly so you have to walk a block with your luggage, which surprised us but is no big deal.

We were charged almost $250 dollars for our one night, which is absurdly overpriced. For people on a budget willing to pay no more than maybe $125 and not looking for something remotely 4 or even 3 star it works, and again the location is excellent. There are probably other hostals in the neighborhood which are actually \"nice.\" But it was not what we expected or led to believe based on the Veracruz website and we would never pay that price for a place like that and would not choose it again.

Negative impact and reality shock

The hostal is overrated and overpriced. The room was so old with below average condition, however my booking was for a superb double room. To pay such an amount of 137 USD for one single night I think I should be accommodated in a hotel not a hostal. Hotel.com should provide and investigate more accurate information about the properties announced as the photo and the review refelect completely different image

Do your self favour and stay else where.

Horrible experience. The staf feel that they do not care about the guest. Only cleaners where friendly. The room was small but we did not expect large space as it's a hostel. Straight away at the entrance you are getting hit by the smell of horrible etheric oils that you use in saunas & damp. At the beginning we thought that they running sauna on a side as well as a separate business. Later we discovered that they used this to cover the smell of damp as they are drying all bedding and towels in a small room that was next to our room. Suprise they do not use dryer. Also the towels was super stinky and dirty that we was scared to use as after drying skin you was stink like a drirty old cloth. The only positive was location. Oh the safe box is weird box with whole and it you wish to use it you have to ask reception for the locker.

It is a hostal in a building that houses other two hostals.
Th entire hostal has a very strong air fresher smell that was too much for me and gave me a sore throat. Although the hostal is a non smoking one, it is surrounded by restaurants and bars where people smoke, so the cigarette smoke gets in. The rooms are very tiny, with a good size bed, but it is hard to get our clothes in an out your luggage as there is not much space to place your bags but on the bed. My dad hit his head against the TV while getting situated in the room as the space between the bed and the wall where the TV is mounted is very small. The showers are good size but the sinks are extremely small and the space for the toilet is very tiny, my mom is slightly overweight and the space was too tight for her. The bathroom had a spider web and I took a picture of it. In our bedroom the balcony door did not seal close and over night we had all the noise of the bar just outside as well as all the smoke from the cigarettes. There is a front desk person and we asked for help but the person in charge that night said she could do nothing. We basically could not sleep that night and decided to leave the next day although we had booked 4 nights. Otherwise the location is great, very central, but I would not recommend this hostal unless you are ok with smoke and noise at night.

Great location, decent rooms, very good price. I would give this place a 4.5/5. The reason I won’t give it a 5 is because the bedsheets didn’t seem very clean and there were questionable stains. Also there are a lot of bars below the hotel and all along the street that are open very late at night; due to that it was hard to get good sleep. However I knew that this area was going to be loud.

The room was very clean and good for a few nights stay. The location was perfect, in the centre of Madrid next to the public transport. The hostel is on the third floor and was next to a few bars so was a bit noisy at night time. The only thing that I would say that could be improved is that because we were two people sharing a double room, it would have been better if we were given a key each so that we did not have to rely on each other coming and going.
Overall I would stay again as the price and location was worth it.
