I paid for a double room (sleeps 3 according to their site )and they clearly gave me a single that could barely fit me and my single luggage. The sheets were ok but the throw and pillows have seen better days. When I questioned the staff about the room she gaslit me into saying I was giving a double. Iā€™m an architect I know what room sizes are.

Fantastic location
The location of the Hostal is amazing. We walked around central Madrid and found that we were always around 5 minutes away from the Hostal. The only downside is that the walls are quite thin. This didnā€™t bother me too much but itā€™s probably not ideal if you are a light sleeper - you can basically hear every conversation in the room next door; showers and pipes from toilet flushing can also be heard through the walls. The amenities are basic but if you just looking for a place to sleep at night, then I would recommend as the location is very good.

i liked it a lot! The only downside is the public noise, but the windows do a really good job in noise-cancelling this.

Hostal la BaƱezana was the perfect location for a four day stay in Madrid. It had the amenities that we needed (free WiFi, air conditioning, own bathroom, elevator) and the staff was refreshingly personable and helpful. The central location meant that we were surrounded by the best of Madrid, with many main sights within two to three blocks. I will stay here again.

Inconvenient but good
Everything was good, the only thing I did not like was that I had to do check in in another building a few streets down the road, so It was ward to carry all the luggage to another location, check in and then go back the the first location to get to our room

I wouldnā€™t recommend this property to anyone. The bed is very uncomfortable, the piping in the walls is extremely loud anytime water is used. I donā€™t think I slept at all.

Nice property and reasonably priced. Bigger room than other more expensive hostels. The only negative thing would be checking in at the sister hotel which is 3 mins away and lugging bags up the street and finding this actually hostel. (Having to find that hostel, go up three floors. Check in and go back down and to the booked hostel etc)

Dear guest, Thanks for your feedback. We regret that the stay was not entirely to your liking, but tell you that we have double insulation that is quite effective with noise that may come from abroad. A cordial greeting

Big mistake
I booked a last minute stay here for 2 nights based on reviews. We arrived right from our overnight flight and was exhausted. Thankfully she gave us our room early at 11.30. My husband and I crashed woke up 3 hrs later showered and went out to eat and walk around a bit. When we got back to our locked room our suitcases were rummaged thru. My wallet and skyroam box were gone. Thankfully my husband hid our passports before we left. According to front desk girl this guy was able to sneak in when she was distracted checking in someone. He stole master key and broke into several rooms taking other guests passports and IPads. We were only in Madrid for a couple of hours and this happened to us!!! Wanted to check out but it was late. Got zero sleep because you could here everyone coming and going in hallway plus music and people talking under our room at some bar. Couldnā€™t wait to check out the next day!!

Perfectly located near the Plaza Del Sol in a picturesque, older part of Madrid with cafes, little stores, and lots of people wandering the streets at night. My first time in a 'hostal' and I felt very comfortable. The proprietress was friendly, helpful, and thoughtful.

Excellent hostal, well located in the center of the city, easy to walk to all the museums, cultural centers, Puerta del sol, Gran via street, if you like to walk. No breakfast, but the hostal is surrounding of cafes, bars, and restaurant where you can enjoy a delicious Spanish food. The owner is very helpful, and attentive, always with desire to indicate the right directions and good suggestions. Will stay again on my next trip to Madrid.

Room was fine. Small, but sufficient. Check in was in another hostal, communication was poor (the English translation left out some major details). Was told during check-in that I could leave my bag at the desk after check-out, but when the time came, no-one was there to receive it.
