Very well located with a lot of things to do. Rooms were a bid small for a family of 3 but having the private room with bathroom in a hostal was a plus. Close to metro and walkable areas. AC and tv in the room.

This is a very basic hostal in close proximity to the Plaza Mayor and the heart of Madrid. It is quiet, clean, and secure and everything is in good working order. Reception is available 24 hours and the staff is familiar with the area and helpdul. If you require modern and updated lodging, this is not the place for you. If you are looking for an affordable and convenient place in central Madrid, this could be the place for you.

If your room is up the steps from Checkin to a higher floor they open the elevator if you need for your luggage. Short walk to taxi stand. 24 hour access. Friendly, safe, small rooms and tiny bathrooms but quiet,private, very clean and accommodating if you are looking for an inexpensive hostel right off SOL. A/C works great.

The location is conveniently close to everything, staff is excellent, the place is very clean. ✨ My only complain is that you can hear absolutely everything so if you're a light sleeper this may not be your place. I had trouble sleeping one night because some women were being loud - staff told me that a little noise was acceptable till 12am (it was a little past 11:30pm and I had to wake up early for a tour). 💀
