Very Good

Very nice place to stay for the price. Clean, safe, and right in the middle of everything. That was the only down side though too as people were partying until 5am and it was not quiet. Great breakfast at the Victoria hotel nearby.
Stayed for 2 nights. Location is very convenient with a lot of dining and shops. Really walkable. Reception at Hotel Victoria was smooth, staff were kind and friendly. The room is ok for the 2 night stay. Comfortable, however I would have wanted the bathroom to be more clean as I saw some hair on the sink and tub. Room can get noisy if you are a light sleeper since restaurants are outside, although this did not bother us. I would still stay here the next time aim back.
The location is perfect! In the center of Madrid. Lots of bars and restaurants around. The room was so clean and accommodated.

Only book this place to store your luggage or if you have bad hearing and don’t care much for hygiene. A club under which plays loud boring music all night and walls as if of paper. You hear every step and whisper by neighbors around. Mould in the bathroom and bedsheets not clean. It was a “cheap” option in an expensive city, but it’s better to allow yourself a good rest after a day in this amazing city. Hopefully you can afford not to stay at Matheu.
Great location with provably 6-10 options for food and drink within a stone's throw and what seems like a million more in a short walk.
The downside, don't expect any sleep before 3am as there are pubs right below the rooms.
Stayed with 2 mates. It's right in the middle of town a short walk from puerta del sol. Wifi worked great. Lots of restaurants and bars around which is nice, but it can be a bit noisy. Great rooms and service. We got it on sale so it was well worth it, only 40 euros a night for 3 of us
If you want to experience "La Fiesta" around the Madrid area, this is the place to stay. If you are planning to rest, you better look for another option. This hostal is located around a lot of rest & bars and you will be hearing, music, people talking and laughing loud all night even if the doors and windows are closed. For the purpose of my trip, the place met my needs.
