Liked: Location is very good, so you can go and back to hostel to change close and go again. such as it's rain you can go back to hostel and pick umbrella, or it hot or cold you can change close.if you tired just go back to hostel and you can go out at dinner and after that go to drink and party.between that you can also rest in hostel... that:s sometime nice.inter net connection is 1 euro for 10 min.

23 November 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Can't do better for location, very clean and extremely friendly staff. Although the walls were a bit thin we were lucky to have a room at the back of the hostel so it was very quiet. Small but very nice and spotlessly clean bathroom. Definitely book this hostel, you won't do better for budget accommodation.

Customer review

24 October 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: We had a room that wasn't facing out onto the main street, which probably made a huge difference as our room was nice and quiet... and the hotel is practically on the Puerta del Sol. We couldn't have been happier about that.

12 October 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Proximity to Sol is brillant. Despite three metro lines from the airport it is well worth using for its advantages while in Madrid. One room was super quiet. The other was adequate for sleep despite the location.

Customer review

29 September 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: 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,
