“Basic good location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 December 2011

Agree with most reviews.

Negative The hotel is basic and some of the rooms we saw were very small and pokey. The inner rooms seem smaller than the outer rooms. It is above local bar/clubs but the noise stopped around 2am (not particularly loud)

The towels are very hard and I had to remove an outer balnket as it scratched my skin through the sheet but I have sensitive skin, hubby had no problem with it.

We had breakfast one morning 4Euros for toast, coffee, cake and Orange Juice which we thought was areasnable. Lady who served was not on happy pills and we felt that we were a pain for being there. We found a cafe on the main shopping street 5 min walk from the hotel and a large slice of toast and coffee 2.45Euros so worth a walk to.


Walking back to hotel late can be daunting as its near the main prostitute (outside Macdonalds) area and you are in a loacl bar area so we did feel very 'touristy'.

Good points

Local, cheap and you get what you pay for.

Get the metro ticket 10 Euros and head from the airport. We paid 35 Euros in a taxi which we thought was extortionate.

If I had wanted 5 star I would have paid 5 star. The rooms are clean and warm which is all you need.

I would stay there again if I was on a budget.

Room Tip: High outer room

“Location is good but noisy”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 November 2011

Common areas and rooms are clean and nicely decorated but my room was quite cramped and got a lot of noise from the street, even with shutters and windows closed. The location is good, near to Gran Via metro but it is on the edge of a bar and party area so you can get quite lot of noise at night. Disappointing that they didn’t have an iron that I could use. Didn’t seem particularly good value for the money, I think you would be better off at Hostal Louis XV in rooms overlooking Calle Montera – they are quieter, less cramped and cheaper.

Room Tip: Try to avoid rooms overlooking the street, or get a room on a higher floor

Decent. But nothing special. Small hard beds.
Staff seemed cranky. Small room.

“good location”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 May 2011

The hotel is very well located, near metro Gran Via in the centre of Madrid. However, the room we stayed in was in the 1st floor, beside the kitchen and the noises and the smells were very unpleasent, specially in the mornings. In addition, the room didn't have a view, very dark and a very small. The towels were a little rough but overall it was fairly clean. The worst was the attitude of the woman who waited the breakfast, who was very rude and impolite.
It has to be said that the rest of the staff were very diligent, specially Javier, the night concierge and the manager.
