Wonderful place to stay for a few nights. Don’t be “scared” by the fact that there are a few hostels in the same building or even on the same floor. This one is quiet, clean, with 24/7 desk service and a great team taking care of all your needs. I’ve been in smaller rooms at 4 star hotels. Nice bathroom too with good water pressure. Also, it’s quite surprising and lovely to have always free water, milk, tea and pastries available in the kitchen. And you can’t beat the location which is basically walking distance or a short subway ride from most iconic places and museums in Madrid.

If you are a light sleeper ask a room in a quieter area of the hotel - there is a club on the opposite side of the street and you can feel the bass til the sunrise.

Central, basic, very clean

While it was small and basic, the room was very cozy and quiet, and we slept amazingly well. All was new, all was clean. Service in the reception was efficient and nice. Location is as central as it gets. You basically get down and you're just in the center of Madrid. Great experience.

The room was very small. The bed very comfortable. You are on a main street with bars across the street & cars driving by all night. This building is four Hostel's on all the floors. They do have an elevator however when we arrived to check in it was out of order & had to haul the luggage up to the third floor. It was working by the time we returned from our evening out. This was perfect for our last night in Madrid.

Small place with only aboit 10 rooms. Very central location close to everything. Bed was very comfortable and I slept well. AC was good and shower heat and pressure was very good. Expect noise at night from the street and nearby establishments on rooms overlooking the street. The windows did a reasonable job limiting the noise but I would recommend using ear plugs. I would stay here again.

Pros: very clean, good water pressure in shower, common area with coffee and water, staff was pleasant and personable. Good location to walk in Sol area. Cons: even by European norms the room and bath were uncomfortably small for 2 people. Our room price was ridiculously expensive for this caliber of accomodation- over $200/night USD. Would not recommend for 2.

Horrible staffing! They are never around. And when they finally arrived, they do not solve anything.My mom had a stroke and died suddenly.As a result,I had to leave two days earlier to attend her funeral in Venezuela. I asked for a rain check or refund. They requested my email, and so far NO ANSWER. WILL NEVER STAY AT THIS PLACE AGAIN! Expedia should erase them as a choice.
