I enjoyed my stay at La Fontana very much. The room was spotless, small but very functional. The staff was friendly and very helpful. The location of the Hostal is incredible, within walking distance to many places you'd like to visit in Madrid and with excellent connections to the airport.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
The first room was unacceptable, second room was better.
Bed was extremely comfortable.
Some renovations and maintenance required
Location excellent if you prefer to be at heart of Gran Via, all shops restaurants bars 100m away down side street, so quieter than directly on Gran Via.
200m to Gran Via Subway.
Little bit pricey for condition of rooms
The room was small but the bed was comfortable. The room was in an old building but was clean. The bathroom was small but clean and the shower had good hot water that did not run out. The old elevator was kind of cool. There was some loud music from a nearby bar one night but it didn't last too long. (bring ear plugs just in case). The spanish verandah opens on a side street from one of the main shopping areas of Madrid which is also part of their Madrid Broadway area.
Great value for money. Walking distance to everything. Staff was pleasant. Bathroom could have been cleaner but overall a good place to stay for the price.
I really enjoyed my stay here. It’s a great location. Not all the staff speaks English, but some do. They are nice, and were very helpful whenever I had questions. I really liked my stay in Madrid, and Hostal La Fontana helped me enjoy everything!
Good for one night only. Cleanliness reasanoble, the towels were clean but my oh my they were crispy!! scared to scrap off my skin

Hostal La Fontana doe not have clear and bold signage on the street.
I was pleasantly surprised to be given a room with a bathroom.
Staff were friendly and helpful.
Could I recommend that rooms be supplied with a secure safe to place one’s valuables and key documents?

Nice but Noisy
Nice location to downtown, but extremely noisy all night and hard to fall asleep.
The hotel location is great. Comfort for a budget is good. The receptionist is very helpful. Initially due to language you might have a different opinion. But she is a nice lady and helpful.

Disliked: Room comfort
Simple, affordable hotel, conveniently located.
The single room is very compact (I'd go as far as saying the photos are misleading), with windows facing the building's ventilation shaft. Although the bed is a bit uncomfortable, the room provides all necessary amenities, and the hostel is conveniently located. It offers good value for the cost.
