18 April 2009 Walter would recommend this property

Liked: Not just good, but perfect location in the heart of Madrid.All sites worth visiting are easy to reach on foot and the metro is also a couple of meters from the hotel. Nice nightlife area with good restaurants, bars and cafe's nearby. Hostel was nothing fancy, but had all the facilities you need. Hostel was clean and rooms were cleaned and provided with new towels daily. Very good value for the money.

Customer review

09 April 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: The staff was really helpful, and their English was good enough to understand the most of it. The location was also very pleasant, in the centre of Madrid and we had no problems with the noise outside. The rooms are a little thin-walled, in the hallways you can hear people talk when they are in their rooms with the door shut. For a city trip I would recommend this hostal.
