Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
If I were backpacking across Europe this might have been tolerable. Otherwise, pretty bottom of the barrel. Let's start with a locked entrance door to the street, covered in graffiti. First you have to use the intercom to buzz into basically a low rent apartment building. The hostal is located on the 4th floor (lower floors are apartments): no lift/elevator. 3 of our 4 people had rather large roller bags which needed to be lugged up (& back down) 4 flights of stairs. The rooms were tiny & old but clean & functional; so decent low budget. Stay were friendly & bi-lingual.

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.

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.
