Room was small but clean - bath was excellent. There is no access to this hotel so you must walk about 5 minutes with your bag to get there - should have been a notice on their site. They put us on the 3rd floor, reception is on second floor, but the lock the door off of the 3rd floor elevator so we had to carry our bags down the stairs when checking out and staff wasn’t very friendly- not sure why?? Location is great, would stay again assuming we could guarantee a 2nd floor room!

Excellent location. Terrible service. Dangerous stairs. The staff were unhelpful and rude. The stairs are hard to navigate. The stairs do have handrails but there is a wall touching the handrails - it is not possible to grab the handrails as a result. The location is very good and you can walk to most locations in Madrid.

Great location and helpful, friendly staff. Right in historic heart of Madrid within 20 minute walk in any direction to key sights. Veryclean room. Only down side was our room was little narrow and laid out in awkward L-shape. Also, no microwave or coffee maker or small fridge was provided in room. Those items would have made the stay perfect. Otherwise, great building and location and friendly staff. Mil gracias!

Very well located with a lot of things to do. Rooms were a bid small for a family of 3 but having the private room with bathroom in a hostal was a plus. Close to metro and walkable areas. AC and tv in the room.
