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!

I’m 6’1 and the room that I was given was deep in a nook, small, and unbearably hot somehow , radiator off and ac on, it was a constant give or take 80 degrees in that room and bc it was small I had a hard time sleeping and getting stuff done, on the other hand the area is really great and staff are very nice , everything was good except for the actual room

The best deal!

Such a good value! Excellent location, right in the middle of everything. 10 minute walk to Prado and on the other side, 10 minute walk to Plaza Mayor. Closest metro is Sol which is 5 minutes away. Hotel is right next to a small grocery store and an array of restaurants. Breakfast was included and was delicious and more than sufficient. You do have to leave your key with reception every time you leave but that didn’t bother me. I’ve found my go to hotel in Madrid! Highly recommended!
