Very Good

This was a great hotel at a superb location. 3 mins walk from the subway , Starbucks 5 mins away , Irish Pub on the same block . The beds are really comfortable and everything is spotlessly clean
Nice hostel and Location is great. The only negative about it is that I had to wait for almost 30 minutes for the receptionist to turn up and check me in.

They charge for every little thing. Lock, towel, to keep your bags, to check in a little earlier.
There was no access to the terrace, and there was only one person in the reception which made the check-in very long.
Also they turn off the air conditioning in the night, and that was the worst part.
I'm never going back to that place.
They allowed me to check in early because they could tell that I was extremely tired from my long flight. I will be booking them again in my next trip to Madrid.
I did not like the noise at night which some guests made, no consideration for the right to peace and quiet

A hostel not a hotel
My bed creaked noisily as soon as I got on it. Not great for a good night’s sleep. And there’s not much (any) sound insulation.
I accept it’s a hostel not a hotel, so you can’t expect hotel levels of quiet or comfort. But €197 is a lot to pay for a hostel…
I face problem of air conditioning turned off most hour of day in room and I talk to reception many times The reception told me that policy to close of air conditioning most of time I told them there's no information about this in website and I pay money because there's Air-conditioning in room working they told me it's policy to turn off I told them last night to give back money of third day to search another place with air conditioning in room the reception refuse .. bad experience they can consume in electricity by another way ..

Property manager was rude and unfriendly, lots of noise very late into the early morning, check in and other services were slow.
I had a very comfortable and spacious room with two beds. The price was reasonable, and I didn't mind the shared bathroom. It's worth noting that the rooms in the front of the building can be a tad noisy with traffic from the street, but it wasn't too bad. My biggest concern was that the internet seemed slow and unreliable, constantly cutting out on both of my phones and my laptop, so I had to go to a co-working space down the block in order to get any work done.
A great hostel for the price in a perfect area. Footsteps from the subway and waking distance to most major attractions. I was surprised they even made up my room during the day. Disappointed no soap or cups provided in the room and the air conditioning could not be controlled by me in my room even though I was in a private room. Despite this fact, it only got too cold for me once.
Horrible staff!! Extremely rude and unprofessional. Check in took forever! No one was at the entrance when we arrived for a solid 30 minutes. When the receptionist arrived, he didn’t care and seemed extremely short and unapologetic. The location and room were decent but the walls and street noise were unbearable. Will not be coming back.
