Location was excellent for food, people watching, shopping and landmarks. Great place to walk, taxis everywhere Felt very safe and was quiet in the Hostal. Clean, small efficient rooms, plenty of hot water. Staff patient with the ‘over 70 year olds!’

The location of this property cannot be better - within a few minute walking distance to Sol and Opera metro stations and the major landmarks. The room was clean and updated and staff member was so helpful. I would stay here if I visit Madrid again (one suggestion - free coffee or some other compliment would be nice even thought cafes are right outside the door.

Very clean room with wonderful balcony view over busy street below. Beautiful building across the street to enjoy. Thick double paned windows made street noise very manageable. Staff was very supportive and friendly when we had to deal with lost luggage by our airline.

The hostal was in a great location. We had a room with a balcony overlooking the street which was wonderful! The room was clean and the bed comfortable. My 3 stars is realative to 2 situations that happened while at ther hotel. When we checked in, the front dersk had told us that our bags had already been placed in our rooms. When we went to leave, I realized that someone had removed my bag tag. It was a hard plastic decorative tag and the re attached the plastic holder backwards. There was NO WAY the tag could have ever fallen off. The front desk person was th only other person that touched my bag on my entire trip. Additionally, the font desk person neglected to tell us we had to lock our door from the inside. Our room was right next to the lobby bathroom. Someone mistakenly thought our room was the bathroom and opened the door to walk in.

The property location was excellent but it was overpriced for what it offered. If I hadn't prepaid my two visits there, I would have changed my second to another hotel since the both Expedia and the property management did a very poor job by not giving me a contact number or any idea that I would need a pass code to get into the building and that the reception area was on the 4th floor with a grumpy elevator. It was only possible to get in since two other checked in guests, standing outside, were nice enough to let me into the building and told me that the reception was on the 4th floor. What really infuriated me was that I was not given the room I ordered, which had two bright courtyard windows. Instead all they had left was a tiny room with a tiny square of light under the ceiling and the room had to be accessed via three sets of locked doors in tiny hot claustrophobic spaces with lights that left you in total darkness every ten seconds if you weren't fast enough to flash the code decal and enter the key, which I found totally scary. All this cirrus for over $300 a night.

Had a great stay here! It’s very bare-bones. My single room was only big enough for a bed and a small clothing rack. But it was very clean and the staff was lovely. It was relatively quiet. No partying, but the walls are very thin so you will hear your neighbours every move. Super thankful to have an AC unit. You really can’t beat the location! Practically steps away from the Palais Royale. There’s no signage on street level so I recommend google-street viewing the door before you get there. Overall, if you are just looking for a place to rest your head, and won’t be spending much time inside, then I recommend!

Vriendelijk personeel, mooi uitzicht (we hadden een kamer met balkon). Lift aanwezig want ze zitten op de 4de verdieping . Mooie centrale ligging in het centrum vlakbij Opera. Kinderen zijn niet toegestaan, wat wij niet wisten maar omdat mijn zoon net 13 was geworden, werd er een uitzondering gemaakt.Maar rust wordt gewaardeerd. Er was wel een vieze vlek op de badkamerdeur dus schoonmaak mag iets beter (of dit was een uitzondering). We waren heel tevreden
Prachtig uitzicht en centraal gelegen vlakbij Opera !
