Getting up the stairs to the top of the building with luggage was pretty bad, no elevator and no help. The room was great and the location very convenient for visiting all the bars and clubs in the area, they are all within 1-2 minutes walking distance.

Hostal Dolcevita was an amazing experience. It was clean, the staff was super responsive, and we had a great view of the city. For the price, it is well worth it. I’d go again in a heartbeat.

Location is very central to transport and attractions in Madrid, and eating places nearby. The lack of air conditioning however is a big negative in a warm city like Madrid.

This was our favorite little hotel/hostel we've stayed in Europe! Ok sized bathroom, comfortable bed, 6th floor up old wooden stairs. But the whole place has a cute, quarky interior. And by far, the cleanest place we've every stayed. The stairs and hallways were mopped every day! Rooms the cleanest, and we had a private bathroom. Great location, so many restaurants in every direction. Highly recommend!!! A+

Shower was tiny and the room had a window that looked out into the hall way … but otherwise accommodations were decent, the bed was comfortable and there was plenty of space for me/my stuff. For being a hostel it was actually a pretty good deal for the price/location. I would book here again.

It is on a very noisy street with people going to clubs on the weekend. Someone was smoking weed in the hallway and the smell came into my room. Only 2 showers for lots of rooms so had to wait ages for a shower.

Adequate accomodation for a short stay

We choose this hostal because it is centrally located and pretty good on the price. What we were ot expecting was having to climb 4 huge flights of stairs to our attic room which was huge but very oldy woldy. Everything worked well the wifi was ok, the bathroom was adequate and the beds comfortable and the sheets clean. The area is very central and bang smack in the Gay Centre of Madrid.

We loved how central we were while staying at Hostal Dolcevita. The staff were super friendly, and everything was neat and clean. If you are looking for a budget stay in Madrid (think one step above hostel), you would probably enjoy staying here. Be warned though, you will be climbing quite a few stairs to get there!

The hostal is really clean and very quite. The only thing is that if you have heavy luggage is really hard to reach it is on the 4/5 floor without lift.
