I stay here in my way home to Texas from my home in Pamplona. Love to eat at the Prada El Tope down the street. Santa Anna Plaza is very convenient. For this hotel....rooms by the street are loud (to be expected), interior rooms are better. Just a good bunk for the night before heading home.

Nice hotel in the heart of Madrid, very busy all around it. Close to the must see landmark, but the only thing I didn’t like is the rooms are not soundproof.

The room was clean bed was nice. It is a hostel not a full fledge hotel. But I liked it and thought it just fine. The street it is on had a number of bars so it did have a noisy night. Staff were friendly and helpful.

My room was perfect for me as a solo traveler - it was spotlessly clean, the bed was comfortable and I had everything I needed. It’s a small hotel so the front desk staff sometimes had to step away but they were easy to buzz on the rare occasion I needed them. The location can’t be beat either - I walked to all sorts of tapas bars, the botanical garden, the Prado, etc. and you’re a quick walk to the Sol metro station. Will absolutely stay here again when I’m back in Madrid!

Location is great as convenient to attractions. Size of room is good with a Samsung TV which you can mirror your programs. Only downside is there’s no real reception desk as the building has 5-6 hostals in one. Also, you have to take a very old-fashioned lift up and down but it’s fun to ride…never seen it before.

Avoid like the plague. Unsafe. We were kept awake all night by a physical and verbal fight. There is no way to contact staff, who are not on site. They refused to refund the days we prepaid but did not use bc we were too freaked out to stay there any longer. Worst hotel I’ve ever stayed at You’d have to be crazy to stay there

In an old building that’s not easy to find. Small sign next to iron gate along side other hotels that share the same building. on 2nd floor. Lift available, but small. Rooms modernised and simple. Clean. But….this place is noisy! No avoiding this as it’s located on a street and next to a square that’s full of bars and restaurants. Noise can be excessive and prolonged often until 4 am. Take earplugs!!

My experience at Hostal wasn’t good. First of all, I paid for a room with city view and air conditioning. Once I arrived the lady in charge of the hostal placed me in a room where the AC unit didn’t work. After that she located me in another room AC, but 10 minutes later she came to my room and asked me to move to an interior room without City view. So, you never know what’s is going to happen with them.

We have a home in Pamplona and stay in Madrid the night before heading back to Texas. We love the Plz Santa Ana, but recently it's mostly closed off to construction. Our favorite restaurant is down the street Prada a Tope. Great place. So we just need a bed and this works, but the price doubled in a year - so we may be looking for another place.

The property on it’s own is fine, it’s clean and roomy but there other features that are worth considering. 1. The concierge service is almost non existent, mind you when you find them, they are nice and polite. 2. For me this was the biggest drawback: The property gives you one access card and like an all inclusive you need to plug it into the “activation” holder and once you take it out the power shuts down in the room including fridge and AC. Tje concept is OK but what if one person wants to stay in ?? It was quite annoying. 3. You need to request service which again is fine bit how will I know that the little sliders on the doors mean that? there are no signs explaining that. We stayed in Barcelona and in Seville for around the same price range so maybe my expectations were higher than expected but having two access cards and a present concierge is not asking for a lot!
