we were so happy when we arrived in Madrid as the city and Puerta del Sol are really great until... we walked into our room at the Gay Hostel at Puerta del Sol. The reception area and dinning looks ok but the bedrooms are below any standard and of very poor quality. We thought we have tried them all staying... More

I'll admit I was a little wary of what it would be like considering the great value of the stay, however I was pleasantly surprised. It was easy to find from the airport, and in a great location. You hardly have to walk far at all to find most things you'd want like food, bars, pubs, shops and the metro... More

When I booked this hostal, I knew what I was getting myself in to and did not expect a luxury, full-service experience. When in Spain, I find myself spending very little time in my room and therefore I book low-priced, simple, and well-located accommodations. This place delivered on all fronts. We (two people) were given a three-person room which was... More

The good thing about Hostal Puerta del Sol is the central location right on the Puerta del Sol Square. Here you are close to Gran Via, Chueca, Plaza Major and the area around Plaza Santa Anna with its many tapas bars as well as the Paseo del Prada with El Prado, Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza and Caixa Forum. You can walk everywhere... More

I have no vested interests in this place but my first instincts were that it felt good on arrival. Admitted the facilities were basic in single accommodation (I didn't see others). Breakfast at 9 was late for me. The place was clean and slightly reminiscent of the 60's in London! Shower curtain basic and some fitting replaced/broken but everything worked... More

This hostel is right off Puerta del Sol, which is a great location - within a walking distance of a ton of touristic destinantions and very close to the subway station. That's the best part about this hostal. The room was good for a hostal . It was clean, silent and the bed was comfortable. We really had a nice... More

This was advertised as a gay hostel but was very friendly to non-gays as well. I am a female senior citizen and felt very safe and comfortable in this hostel. The lift goes to the 4th floor which is where the desk is located and I was on the 5th floor but the stairs are broad and a half step... More

I was quite worried when I saw reviews but I dont regret at all that I have chosen this hostal. Easy access from the airport by subway - better have a look at the map before which corner of Puerta del Sol it is. We found it easily but it might be not so easy somebody. The hostal is on... More

I really enjoyed my staying in Madrid, the stuff were great, you get help all the time, good internet and good breakfest, location is awesome it is close to everything and I never used bus or unsderground. you get too much for little money. More
