Everything was great. Modern, bright, comfortable bed and room. Very, very clean. Doris is lovely. I'd definitely stay there again.

Lacking of facilities like a kettle, microwave…

The room was very clean and the forniture new

Just a little thing to be aware of, please be advised that there are no appliances (except for the community fridge) and no kitchen equipment, so if you just want to spread butter on a slice of bread you run into a problem (or just have to run down to a Ferretería to buy a small knife)

It was a really nice and comfortable stay, the equipment and the design is really nice and newish. Great location in a quite calm city quarter, yet close to the city center and especially the wonderful big park. Especially well suited for shorter stays, I'd definitely come back again

Everything was wonderful!!!

I loved every moment in the wonderful Madrid at Hostal Arco Iris. 🥰 Perfect location, perfect transportation, peaceful, clean and safe area. I loved my room, I loved the building and the whole area. The building is wonderful, and my room was lovely, super clean and very comfortable. 🥰 Thank you for your hospitality, Doris! See you next time!

Great location, beautiful room, and Doris is an excellent host.

The entrance to the object is a bit complicated if no one is waiting for you at the entrance door, since the staff doesnt speak english.

The location is very good, in a nice neighborhood close to the Retiro park. The room is very clean and big enough for two people to settle. The staff is kind.

The payment process before the stay required to pay outside of booking even though I entered my card on booking so it seemed a bit fishy... But that is the process and in the end everything was fine

Nice location near Retiro park and a metro station. The place was very clean and the staff was friendly

As is the case with most buildings in historic cities, the soundproofing could be an issue. You rely on the consideration of others to keep noise to a minimum. Could be an issue for some, but during my stay the hostel seemed to have attracted the kind of guest that adheres to hostal etiquette.

Cutest little hostal I’ve stayed in yet! The staff have very limited English, but if you’re prepared to use Google Translate or similar, they’ll go out of their way to accommodate your every need. Rooms are clean and well ventilated and heating and A/C is controlled by each individual room. Neighbourhood appears very safe and well connected to public transport (though very walkable to the city centre.) The nearby park is stunning and the hostal is conveniently located near restaurants and grocery/convenience stores.

I can accept if the apt has no kitchen(ette). But a common kitchen where you can (at least) boil water for your coffee/tea would be great

The location is good. Small but very cozy and cute rooms.

Perfect location in the center. Host doesn't speak English, but we managed. Walls a bit thin, you can hear everything, but somehow it wasn't of much nuisance

The TV and the Channels were so nice. All was brilliant!

There is no hair dryer and hand towel in the rooms. If it had an extra small towel and a hair dryer, it would definitely deserve a 10/10 rating for me.

The location of the facility is in a nice neighborhood. Although walking into the city can be a bit tiring, it is a good alternative for those who want to explore the city on foot. Also away from the tourist hustle and bustle.

I had a spacious room, sound wasn’t bad, the shower was nice, Maria was very kind and helpful. I caught Covid during my stay and she was very helpful.

I got a little guilt trip from the host/reception for having a late check in. They wanted to charge me more for coming late (I had a late flight, what can I do?) Ultimately they helped me out and it went smoothly, but something they should have a system for!!

All you need for a short stay in Madrid. Private bathroom, clean, and quiet. Near Retiro and reasonable walking distance to major tourist destinations

Wallpaper was peeling off and the strong smell of detergent on the sheets made it hard for me to breathe

Very good location

Considering the comfort I received for such a price, I cannot find any issues.

Considering the price of the room, hostel location (30min walk / 10min taxi from the central station), and overall service, I'd say it's a perfect choice for budget traveling. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The AC worked perfectly, which was appreciated during hellish summer days in Madrid. Recommend!
