Very Clean, Good location. A bit noisy at night night though, with the walls between rooms being quite thin, and lots of giggling spanish girls in the room next to us.

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.

Excellent location, 30 seconds from Sol Station and Puerta Del Sol, on a street full of high street shops and the street behind has many bars and restaurants. Would definatly stay again if in Madrid.

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.

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.
