Simple, affordable hotel, conveniently located.
The single room is very compact (I'd go as far as saying the photos are misleading), with windows facing the building's ventilation shaft. Although the bed is a bit uncomfortable, the room provides all necessary amenities, and the hostel is conveniently located. It offers good value for the cost.

Very good location but neighborhood not so good. Prostitutes hanging out near entrance at night. The staff was very nice and helpful. Room was tiny And straight out a 1930's movie but ok for a private room in city center.

Great location, friendly staff. Breakfast could have been better but still OK. All museums, and places to see were in walking distance. Tapas bars, stores for shopping everywhere. My room was a bit small but enough for solo travelers

Cheap centrally based hotel
I found this hotel by chance on Expedia website. I liked the look of it , location and the fact that breakfast was included, which is not always the case in hotels in Madrid even those with more stars. I was given the choice on arrival of a street facing room with a balcony or a courtyard facing one. I chose the street facing as I like the buzz of the street life in Madrid. It was noisy but excellent double glazing dulled everything down and I was pleased with my choice. The street below is busy until very late particularly at weekends due to there being bars, cafes and restaurants. My room was small but adequate with small en suite facilities. There were no frills, but I not looking for them. Space for hanging clothes was limited and only a shelf for small items.. The heating was very efficient but overwhelming as it is centrally controlled. Even in the cold weather I found it too much. In summer there is a overhead electric fan rather than air con. I tried it and found it to be very efficient a surprisingly quiet. Breakfast is pre-packed with good quality fresh coffee and hot milk, fresh apples and oranges. It is served from 8.30 onwards but can only accommodate eight people at a time and is served in the hall corridor. I had no problems getting a seat. The entrance to the hotel is via a large wooden door opened with an electronic card through a magnificent period hallway and is situated on the first floor. There is a small lift. I thought the hotel was quirky.

Cute little hostel in the heart of busy Madrid
In the heart of Madrid's "Times Square" it's just far enough off the main street where you don't hear noise all night. Breakfast is good to fill up before visiting all the tourist sites. Very clean and close to most subways. Staff was incredibly helpful with check-in and other things we needed during our stay.

Great location, Good Hostel
It was very cozy and amazing location!! You can't beat this location. The room was a little dirty when we arrived. The bed sheets looked used and had hair all over them, and the towels smelled like cigarettes. The bathroom was shared, but there was no issue, make sure you wait a while so the water heats up or you'll freeze. Overall its very doable. the price was great and we saw all of Madrid because the walking distance was basically nothing and you were in the middle of everything. The staff was very friendly. Lastly, the wifi stopped working our last night so we were kind of shut off from the world as service was bad there.

Excellent Value but Maintenance Issues
Overall it was just alright. The staff was exceptionally nice and the location was good. There was one guy who spoke excellent English and even the people who didn't tried hard to communicate. However, the condition of the hotel was very very old. The shower in my room was plugged and did not drain. After watching them use draino (very chemically smelling) and a plunger and watching dirty gross water spill everywhere. I opted to shower in the communal shower even though I had paid a few Euro more to have a shower in my room. The walls were super thin so you can hear everything from someone watching tv to talking to laughing at a tv program. The breakfast was better then expected. It included coffee, toast, packaged breads, fruit, yogurt, and granola bars. The hotel was very inexpensive and the fact that it included breakfast made it an incredible deal. It was a very good value :)
