A week in Madrid in September was excellent and one of the main reasons was because we stayed at Hostal Luz. The owner was very friendly and helpful and the location was ideal. It wasn't fancy but we didn't need fancy.

Marguerite was so accommodating even with my very little Spanish. She was quite helpful and friendly to me and my friend. The room we stayed with my friend was in the new wing, which was facing the street. I loved the view of the street and the apartments across. Lovely verandas lined the buildings in this area.
Clean bathroom and I love the fluffy new towels!!! They fix our beds/rom every day that we were there. We spent 4 days of our vacation there. The Hostal is near the metro, the shopping area, and the different famous plazas. Highly recommend this hostal!

Pretty good service. Everyday new towels, and ur room gets cleaned. Kind personell, they understand English, but speak Spanish.The hostel lies in the center of Madrid, everything you'll need is at close range. Within 3 minutes you find yourself at the metro station Opera. I haven't tried the breakfast that comes included. The rooms are not large, but big enough. Because we wanted a balcony, our room was at street side. This can be a little bit noisy, but you're allowed to choose between a quiet room or one with a balcony. The night before you head home or continue your journey it's possible to reserve a taxi at the reception. Which we considered as a pleasant service. Allover, this hostel has a nice price/quality ratio and has suprised me positively.

I stayed here with a friend for 3 nights when visiting Madrid for a weekend. This was my second time in hostal Luz. I chose this central located hostal, because it is good value for money and the Spanish manager, Margarita, is very friendly and willing to help you enjoy your stay.

Positive:
- central location
- clean
- (simple) breakfast included at restaurant around the corner (tea or coffee, orangejuice, croissant/toast/churros or Bocadillo ham)
- free wifi and 3 proper desktops
- heater and airco
- clean soft towels everyday (as well as shampoo)
- tv (Spanish channels)

Suggestion:
- if in a room at street side, use earplugs against noise at street at night
