Location: We stayed in Hostal Tijal II for its location. Its right in the centre of Puerta del Sol, the heart of the city, near to Metro stop Sol. Surrounded by tons of eateries, bars, cafes and of course all attractions are walking distance away.
Facilities: The room was quite small. Our twin bed room had 2 beds in a single line, so you can imagine the width of the room. The bathroom esp the shower cubicle was very small, but functional. Housekeeping was done daily and hotel was generally clean. You could borrow an iron if you need.
Food: There is no room service but they have a Tijcal restaurant down on the street where you get a discount as a guest. Serves great pizzas. Anyhow, the street is lined with numerous cafes, so no problem. You can order breakfast (juice, coffee, crossiants) the night before and they will serve you in your room in the morning. Very reasonably priced. Also, there is a coffee vending machine at the reception.
Downside: Its near a club. As Madrid parties all night, you can hear the vibrations of music in your room till wee hours and can have a sleepless night if you are a light sleeper. The club is closed on Sunday, so it is pretty peaceful on Sunday.
Wouldn't mind going back for a short stay.
