it is like a hotel and they clean the room and change towels everyday. It located at the very very center but not noisy. Can go to palace and lots of places of interests by foot.

We stay at the second floor, and the elevator only gets to the first floor. Thus, we have to walk to the first floor and take the elevator every single time. Though the staff helped to carry the luggage when we were leaving, whcih was nice though. The only thing I don't like is the room with an extremely bad smoke smell. We all got the bad smell the whole three days when we stay here,

good connection with airport, next to Plaza Mayor and close to other interesting places. cafes& restaurants nearby. rooms are ok- with shower and tv. lack of light due to interior patio- no view on the town but i guess everyone's out of hostel during the stay.

The convenient location allowed us to enjoy Madrid's vibrant night life without worrying on how to get back to the hostel so late.

great location and nice, clean rooms. it's really more of a hotel than hostel, with no common room or place to meet other people, but it's very comfortable and right near lots of great cafes, bars and restaurants. good place for couples or small groups but wouldn't recommend for solo travellers.

Nice hostel located directly at Puerta del Sol. Room was quite small but clean. Internet access was expensive (50 cent for 10min). Hostel is good, I would recommend it.

It had wifi, although I ocassionally had problems connecting. It had a safe in the room, although it annoyed me that I had to pay 1 Euro each time I used it. Very clean, window overlooking street which even though noisy, I really like.
