10/10 Excellent

Safe, very clean, central, and a good area to stay when in Madrid.
Jessica, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Super clean rooms, excellent location close to Grand Vía and others interesting places. Staff super nice and polite.Thank you Dolce Vita
Ernesto, 3-night trip

6/10 Okay

Location is very central to transport and attractions in Madrid, and eating places nearby. The lack of air conditioning however is a big negative in a warm city like Madrid.
Andrew, 2-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Bedroom very tiny, no air condition, no basic or essential supplies for your stay! I just bring a carryon and backpack and it was so exhausted to get up to the 6 floor! No elevator only Stairs and not even a good condition! Walkable, restaurant, stores at very walkable distances!
Jennifer, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Clean and centrally located, everything you could hope for if you’d like a private room and bath, in a clean and secure building. The ancient stairway to the upper floors is charming for visitors to Madrid.
Ben, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

Shower was tiny and the room had a window that looked out into the hall way … but otherwise accommodations were decent, the bed was comfortable and there was plenty of space for me/my stuff. For being a hostel it was actually a pretty good deal for the price/location. I would book here again.
Chelsea, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

The place was good just so many stairs and the hostal never said that they doesn’t have lift or was at last floor (4th)
Soany, 4-night trip

8/10 Good

Felt like I was in a dorm or staying at a family member’s home. It was cozy and clean. It was a little loud because of the restaurants nearby but wasn’t too bad. Location is perfect!! Would stay here again.
Angel, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I liked how the staff were available 24 hours
Hector, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Quiet and clean place but the stairs is a problem of 3 floors, rest everything was good.
shashank, 3-night trip

2/10 Terrible

★☆☆☆☆ Horrible, suffocating attic room – avoid at all costs! This was genuinely one of the worst hostel experiences I’ve ever had. My room was in the attic, with no reachable or openable windows, and it felt like being trapped in an oven. There was no ventilation, just a weak little fan doing absolutely nothing against the sweltering heat. It was impossible to sleep — I actually told the staff, “You can’t sleep here,” and she just smiled knowingly, like she’d heard it all before and didn’t care. This place is a health hazard in summer. If you’re expecting even basic comfort, do not stay here. The attic rooms should not be rented out to anyone, ever. I left exhausted, angry, and sleep-deprived.
Glen, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

The hostal is really clean and very quite. The only thing is that if you have heavy luggage is really hard to reach it is on the 4/5 floor without lift.
sandra, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Great location within the gay neighbourhood; close to all the attractions and to good restaurants. Not a particularily comfortable room though, and on the fourth (4th) floor without elevator, so it’s a walk up.
Clara, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

Nice budget hotel

This is a budget hotel on the fourth floor without an elevator and without airconditioning on a busy street. That aside it's nicely done up with friendly staff and I enjoyed my stay in a room facing the courtyard. Madrid had a rare cold snap in late June so I survived without AC
Kim, 3-night trip

6/10 Okay

Good value for money

Completely ok room for the price. The door to the balcony was not possible to close properly so a lot of sound from bars outside came in. I spent miminal time at this hostel
Kristian, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Convenable
michael, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Good base on a budget

Decent stay for the price. If you’re looking for a budget place to stay while visiting Madrid this is a good option. Hostal is up a few flights of stairs so if you have issues with walking or climbing, may not be the place for you. Place is fairly old and the bathroom seems to be a recent addition, but it is a plus having one vs. sharing one in other sections of the hostal. No AC, but the the overhead fan worked and kept us cool in the heat. Walkable to everything. Overall, not the fanciest place but was a good stay to set base for our trip to Madrid.
Josiah, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Location

Extremely well located, close by Gran Via and very quiet room. Congratulations to your staff, very helpful and friendly. Only drawback was it was on the third floor and no elevator- so you get your cardio workout! But overall excellent!
Philip, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Okay
Carmen amaro, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Helpful staff nearly always available. Very clean and beds made for us each day. On one early morning the lock jammed shut n the only toilets/shower available, with no one inside, and it took time for us to realise that no one was inside; so the facilities were out of use for an hour. However once the reception was staffed the staff sorted out the problem very quickly. Overall this was a very good place to stay, exceptionally convenient, and I would strongly recommend it.
Daniel, 4-night trip

6/10 Okay

Mediocre

The hotel is at the top of a building with VERY uneven stairs; the worst I have ever known anywhere. Only some of the rooms have aircon. I thought mine did, but it didn't. I did have a very noisy ceiling fan all night (30°- 40° heat) and my room was under the roof itself so cooked in the day. Be careful what room you choose, especially in the summer. It was torture.
3-night trip

2/10 Terrible

I had canceled the booked because I am 65 years and I can not climb the large statue of the hostal The hostal is on the 4 floor no elevator I lost my money
Jose Alfonso, 3-night trip

4/10 Poor

Nothing special. A beautiful old building but not all that well looked after. A most unfriendly welcome, reckoned we were never booked in there & tried to overcharge. We have to go back to N.Z. in Dec & go through BANK STATEMENTS to prove we had paid & bow much. Are you able to check for us & get the refund please? We have always found Expedia great, but certainly not this time. We found much more accom. 5min walk away at half the price . Certainly would Not recommend it to anyone. Alison Woodcock
Alison, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Muy buena estancia en Madrid , tener en cuenta que el hostal está en 4to piso y no hay ascensor personal muy atento, caminando a 5 minutos de la gran vía , cerca de bares, restaurantes
Luis, 2-night trip

The location was great and the staff was helpful and friendly. The room was great.
