Perfect spot!

Perfect spot for Madrid! Right in the center and within a 20 minute walk to anything else. Comfortable bed and good service from the front desk. A great find at a very good price!

Job

Liked: Cleanliness
There was a staff at the front desk who worked overnight that apparently refused to open the door for me. I was gonna go out very early in the morning and it was raining and I forgot my jacket. I went back upstairs to the hostel to get a jacket from my room and I kept on knocking the door and ringing the doorbell but for some reasons, he did not open it for me.

The room is basic but very clean & tidy property. Very friendly & helpful staff. We stayed 2 nights. It’s in a neighborhood with lots of bars and restaurants & was very noisy, tough to sleep with drunk people right outside the window all night long (mid week! ) No complaints other than the noisy neighborhood.

Vale a pena!

Rosa e Mercedes são gentis e educadas por demais e isso já traz um grande conforto. O quarto é exatamente o que consta no site (simples, com decoração já ultrapassada, porém, limpo e confortável) Um lugar que volto!

Ótima experiência

É um tipo de hospedagem bastante comum em Madri (Hostal). O custo x benefício é muito bom. A instalação fica localizada bem no centro de Madri, perto de tudo: locais históricos, parques, metrôs, lojas, teatros, mercados... enfim, tudo o que um viajante precisa. O quarto é simples, mas a cama é confortável e o banho é bom. Gostei muito e recomendo para quem quer uma hospedagem turistica sem gastar muito.

Excellent location in the centre of Madrid. A little cumbersome with the process of leaving the key at the front desk but it felt safe and the reception staff is always friendly and helpful. It can get a little noisy at night at times but that's part of the location being so close to everything.

La struttura, seppure con mobili e aspetto poco moderni, è davvero molto pulita e tenuta bene. Comodissima, in pieno centro. Personale sempre disponibile per qualunque cosa. Consiglio: metterei a disposizione un asciugacapelli nelle camere, magari in modo opzionale.

Situación inmejorable al lado de Sol. Muy limpio. Totalmente recomendable, aunque el precio me pareció elevado al tratarse de un hostal y costar mas de 400€ por tres noches

Uma boa opção no centro de Madrid

Localização extremamente central, não tem como ser melhor, mas se você busca uma região silenciosa, não é uma boa opção. Atendimento impecável do início ao fim. Recepção 24h. Pude acessar o quarto bem antes do horário do check-in - isso foi incrível! Limpeza impecável em todos os ambientes. Pude guardar as bagagens após o check-out. Quarto pequeno, mas ok para um viajante solo. Instalações do quarto ok, com mesa, cadeira, cofre e um pequeno guarda-roupa. Cama confortável e roupa de cama/banho satisfatória. Como recomendação, sugiro colocarem tapete antiderrapante no local do banho (quase sofri uma queda perigosa) e um cesto de lixo no quarto. Em geral, pelo preço, vale a pena!

Convenient, clean, perfectly located and great staff. Big issue: it is almost impossible to have a good night sleep due to noise from other rooms, people in the street and music from a nearby bar. Can recommend only if you are a pro heavy sleeper.

Εξαιρετικό.

Εξαιρετικό μικρό ξενοδοχείο στον δεύτερο όροφο ενός κτηρίου 10 βήματα από την πιο ζωντανή πλατεία της πόλης την puerta de sol. Έχει ανελκυστήρα, κα υποδοχή ανοιχτή όλο το 24ωρο. Καθαρό και άνετο με καλή ηχομόνωση.. Πολλά μαγαζιά τριγύρω για καλο φαγητό και άλλες αγορές Συστήνεται ανεπιφύλακτα...
