We stayed there four nights last December. The location was great, close to subway, restaurants, shopping. We had a room overseeing a small square, if you planning to go in the summer it can be noisy but I still recommend you to get a room with a balcony. The owner, Javier was extremely helpfull. more

This is an amazing hostel. It is comparable to many hotels I have stayed in. My boyfriend and I stayed there for 4 nights. The location is perfect, walking distance to all attractions and many subway stops within a 5 minute walk. The staff was extremely helpful and went out of their way to answer questions & offer travel help.... more

Stayed there many times and can assure you that it is as good as ever, Vegeterian and Italian restaurant just over road or visit the best bargain restaurant in Madrid just around the corner, ask Javier for the name but ends in Rica. more

However, it's not so great when a spontaneous party outside your window wakes you up at 5am, especially when the soundtrack comprises moronically thumped... more

Great, cheap, clean, safe Family Hostal right in the middle of everything. Ana, who ran the front desk was so wonderful, a little shy at first. Found my lost bag at the airport and even rang the airport at home before she came to work and organised its safe arrival without me asking!!! The night guy, called by my children... more

This property offers basic but very clean and comfortable accommodations. The staff is super helpful and the location is absolutely perfect, being very central. The room was spacious, the bathrooms extremely clean and though the beds were small they were very comfortable. I don't know how anyone could complain about this hotel for the price. I particularly liked having the... more
