Very Good

Overall a really good place to stay! The rooms were tiny and the beds were rock hard. It was very difficult to sleep on them the first couple of nights, but I got used to it. The air conditioning worked well, and you can’t beat the location. We walked everywhere we wanted to go with ease. The air conditioning worked well. We would consider staying here again.
We loved the location, right in the center of the tourist area and just a couple of minutes to both Sol and Plaze Mayor, as well as all the other historical streets, very close to the Palace, walking for about 10 minutes. The location is the best we loved it. The room we has was spacious, very basic, but we brought everything ourselves so everything's fine. It was clean and convenient.

Hotel review
Rooms very small and the bathrooms tiny. That said they were clean and had comfortable beds. The location of this hotel is spot on, being very central. Staff were friendly on arrival, but when I asked to use the toilet in the morning in the reception area I was told I couldn’t and have to go up to my room to use the toilet.
The room was very small, especially the bathroom. I was hitting my head against the edge of the sink everytime I used the toilet. The water temperature in the shower would not stay consistent. The bed was hard and uncomfortable and the bed pillow was uncomfortable as well.
Great location. Close by Sol Metro.
Easy check in. Welcoming staff.
Comfy bed. Quality bed linen and towels.
Coffee in room.
Having been in Madrid centre several times, I was surprised this level of Hostal only had shower gel in washroom… NO shampoo, No conditioner.
But overall, would certainly recommend this lodging .

this is a low end hostel with a great location. it was very clean and it was a very good value we appreciate the coffee maker and refrigerator . the only negative was the bed was uncomfortable.
