Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The strongest point is the location—it’s in the center of Sol, which makes it easy to walk around the city. However, the hotel needs more maintenance. The toilet flush wasn’t working, and I informed reception right away, but 3 days later it still hadn’t been fixed. Also, the floors are very thin, and we could hear everything from other rooms.

Wonderful Service

Excellent customer service at the front desk. You need to return your key each time you exit. There was always an employee working the desk that was always friendly. Very central location. I walked to all the major sites and the metro.

Hotel was nice, room was basic. Great location!

Great location, super friendly and helpful staff, beautiful lobby and seating area. Room was very basic, window faced an interior courtyard so no view. And sound from the neighbors echoed like crazy. A/C was basically just blowing room temp. Also, not a hostel. No kitchen or shared spaces. Overall, hotel was nice room was basic.

Great little hotel for a night or two.

Service was great and the hotel was in a perfect location for sightseeing. My only issues were that the bed was VERY firm/uncomfortable and that the shower didn't seem to stay hot; it bounced between hot and cold.

My family and I enjoyed the beautiful view of the streets and the liveliness of the areas surrounding our property. The streets were very busy and nightlife was very pleasant.. shops opened late and it was very safe to walk around and see the city and shops. Staff was friendly and breakfast was amazing. Will definitely recommend this place for others to experience.

Small but staff friendly

The hotel is well centered in Madrid, 15min avarage walking distance from important cites. Our room was small but, the bathroom need to adjust the shower entrance. I almost can get in or get out of the shower. The staff are very friendly. The breakfast need a little more options.

In the heart of Madrid, few steps from Plaza del Sol and other attractions. An unassuming Hostal, however well kept, historical bulging, clean , confortable beds, and great breakfast Well decorated - vintage! The only highlight is the wifi could have been better in the room. I would stay again!
