Excellent Location
We had a two room suite for the three of us and it was very comfortable. However, the bathroom was very extremely small. The rooms were clean. The location was convenient to many attractions and we walked almost everywhere we went in Madrid.

This place cannot be better ❤️
This is a hostel but has the option of rooms with private bathroom. That’s the one I took. The room was very clean, everything works inside the room. The location is excellent. Just steps to Plaza Del Sol, the metro station and the principal attractions and shops of Madrid

This is a very basic hostal in close proximity to the Plaza Mayor and the heart of Madrid. It is quiet, clean, and secure and everything is in good working order. Reception is available 24 hours and the staff is familiar with the area and helpdul. If you require modern and updated lodging, this is not the place for you. If you are looking for an affordable and convenient place in central Madrid, this could be the place for you.

If your room is up the steps from
Checkin to a higher floor they open the elevator if you need for your luggage. Short walk to taxi stand. 24 hour access. Friendly, safe, small rooms and tiny bathrooms but quiet,private, very clean and accommodating if you are looking for an inexpensive hostel right off SOL. A/C works great.
