    Basic good value hostel with private rooms.

    The bed, whilst being comfortable, has a tendency to try and wander from itself in the night. Perhaps because of the slopy floors. The headboard isn't attached. (It is all easily put back together, though.) The telly is so comically small we could barely see it. Our balcony window/door didn't shut properly- we used a pen to seal it one night, then decided to leave it out for air, anyway. The sinks have no plugs. There was no soap in the toilets. One of the toilets was leaking slightly; I reached for an available mop to clean the floor and the head wasn't attached to the handle, which made me laugh. The corridors smell bad- of stale smoke, mostly, which amused me because there were so many no smoking signs. There was a vaguely sulphurous smell in the toilet/shower room. Then they use some sort of air perfume to try and mask this which makes it worse. (Our room smelled fine though). There was no lamp in the room- although there was a nice little light over the sink- the switches from the bed controlled the Big Light. I couldn't get the radiator to work (we visited in November) but we used the extra blanket from the spare bed. I could've asked, of course.

    It's very central. Near a great felaferia & taco place & all sorts of cool streets. The bed is comfortable. The covers are nice blankets with good patterns. We had a private room so there was an extra bed. There is a sink with a mirror in the room. There is a wardrobe and little drawers and some little shelves. There are double windows and shutters which cut out most of the light and noise so we slept well. The balcony is cool- 2nd floor views of the street and the class street art of the stripey woman and the acid boys (when that shop is shut) opposite. There is a light switch by the bed and plug sockets too. The floors are old and wonky and they have an interesting choice of decorative pictures. There's a fridge and a chaise longue. There's a telly... It works haha. The staff are friendly, but not overly so. There are 3 separate lockable toilets with a shower in each. Our favourite was the one with the window. The water pressure is good and the water comes hot. It was cheap.

    Noisy! We were in a room with private bathroom. It was next to the communal ones. Throughout the night there was the sound of doors opening and closing, toilets flushing, and noisy pipes! Also the street bell rang during the night. I suppose they were late nighters trying to get a last minute room. But it all prevented a decent night's sleep.

    Very central.. Cleanliness - aceptable. The bed - comfortable. The whole place looked as if it hadn't been updated since the 60's, but we weren't expecting design and luxury for the price we paid..

    The area is not so nice, specially at night. The place is a bit outdated and it seems too expensive for what you get but that is also true for most stays at Madrid...

    They were very flexible about our arrival time although we made a last minute booking and our flight got delayed. The whole place was clean and the cleaniless was maintained for our whole stay. The room was of a very good size.

    When we first arrived the corridors and room smelled of cigarette smoke. However after a day or two it had subsided.

    Location was great - easy walking distance to all main attractions and the city centre with plenty of bars and restaurants nearby. We booked a triple room for two people as it was all that was available and it was a great room with plenty of space for the two of us and a nice balcony looking onto the street. Beds were very comfortable.

    the noise from the street was awful, the room was not clean and they came into our room during the day to set the bed without warning or option to refuse

    it was right in the centre

    It is bad. Neighbourhood looked dodgy at night. Old facilities. Grotty. Smelt of people smoking.

    Nothing. Worst place I have stayed. Only stayed for one of the two nights we had booked.

    To my shock, the staff member entered the room directly the next morning without knocking and he even had the key to our room, which made me feel quite uneasy and scared. I also found a large cockroach in the hallway downstairs.

    location is very nice

    I have nothing to complaint about it. The fact that I had a room with private bathroom it gave me a hotel vibe, and it meet my expectations of simple lodging.

    The location was great, easy metro access and walking distance from all landmarks, attractions, restaurants/bars and nightlife. The room meet my expectations for the price, meaning no luxury but confortable and clean room.
