Raquel, Portugal - Dec 19, 2011
I've stayed 2 nights in a private room. The room was clean and so were the shared toilets. The guy in the reception was nice and helpful, not that I needed much, but he kept my bags in the last day until about 3pm. Not sure if he speaks english, as my attempt of spanish was enough to communicate. The location is great as it is very central. Not sure how to rate fun factor and atmosphere, I only wanted the room to rest at night, after sightseeing all day. For me the only proper down side of staying at this hostel was the lack of respect of the other guests, as some were quite noisy late at night/early morning, but obviously that as nothing to do with the hostel itself...

Cheap and a good place to stay for a few nights.

Good location and clean rooms. The owner only speaks Spanish... which is ok for this price.

Location was excellent (especially considering the price), a lot of bars and restaurants nearby and close to the plaza mayor, the prado etc.
The walls are thin, so if there are noisy people in your corridor at night, you'll hear them.
No breakfast - sheets were not changed during the four days we stayed there.

Very quiet, which on the off-season is what we were looking for. We stayed in a double private and it was everything we hoped for: comfortable, private and not crammed. It even had its own sink in the room. I would stay there again in the future. Also, excellent location.

The location is awsome. The landlord- very nice but i doubt he speaks English. The only cons were temperature (was there in November and the hostel was very very cold) and water: not very hot with a low pressure. But all in all it's a great budget value for people who don't need luxury on vacation.

Fantastic position just at the end of Calle Huertas, center of night-life. Not so funny if you need to rest at night in order to visit Madrid in the morning. Office often closed, no way to communicate before 10 am, how can i leave my luggage on my last day?
Claudia, USA - Oct 18, 2010
I only stayed one night here... it has a good location near Puerta del Sol and Plaza Mayor. Staff (owner?) didn't speak much English but was helpful.
Blanka, Hungary - Jul 09, 2010
The hostal is situated in the very centre of the city, few minutes' walks from the most famous places. Our window looked to Calle Atocha - a main street where Madrid's night life keeps going on until 6 a.m. (might be a bit noisy...) The rooms are little with basic furnitures and not very confortable beds. I guess this hostal is a great choice for those who want to enjoy the city and the night life, and only use the hostal for luggage-keeping and a few hours of sleep between to fiestas (by the way, there are plenty of bars and discos on Calle Arenal and Grand Vía where you can get a free drink if you go there with an employee of the place who's looking for guests on the streets after midnight!)
Eugene, USA - Jun 05, 2010
We booked online and I feel it was a mistake. The hostels in general are cheaper than what my girlfriend and I payed (36euro)/nite. We had a private room, large for a euro hostel with a street facing balcony and it was quite loud 24/7. Ear plugs reccomended very close to everything in old Madid. 5 minute walk to prado and modern art musums, botanical garden and royal palace. Same with metro and national train depot as well.

Just like the pictures tell. The staff speaks no English, but it was cheap and ina good location. Didnt meet any other English speakers there, but its close to everything youd want to see and it was a great Trip. Spent like no time in the hostal, so it was really just a safe place to keep my stuff.

Kim, Netherlands - Sep 07, 2009
the hostal is really situated in the middle of the centre, very nice!Staff is kind and can also speak some English.Our room was near the main street and therefore quite noisy,but with ear plugs no problem!It would be nice if the hostal can provide maps of brochures of things to do in Madrid.
Daniela , Brazil - May 24, 2009
This hostel is very well located. The only problem was that the walls are too thin, so you can hear people in the next room and bathroom. But, I would recommend to anyone!
Rainer, Germany - Mar 19, 2009
This hostal is very basic, small rooms, no common rooms, kitchen or anything. But for the price I paid I found this absolutely acceptable. You get what you pay for, a clean, quiet place to stay, no more no less. Ideal for low budget travelling.
Michelle, USA - Mar 02, 2009

richard, Ireland - Mar 01, 2009

friendly
Feriba , Netherlands - Jan 25, 2009
When we first came through the portal, it seemed like a terrible, old place! But then we went up to the 2nd floor, and they said that they are renovating. The hotel is very clean and nice from the inside, and the outside will be too in a few weeks I think.
The bathrooms/toilets are also very clean, and the lady at the desk was nice (doesn't speak English that well, but once she knows what you mean, she helps you out good).
Guillaume, France - Sep 01, 2008
clean and cheap, right in the middle of historical Madrid. A good address!
