My stay here was wonderful! The location could not have been more perfect! It is in the middle of everything. It’s a 10 to 20 minute walk from all the main attractions. Me and my friends were able to walk to the Royal Palace of Madrid, Plaza Mayor, Museo Del Prado, Reina Sofia museum, and to Cardamono Flamenco. The temple of Debod was the furthest thing away about a 30 minute walk.
Our room was extremely clean and the AC worked wonderfully. The owners Nancy and Sabino are very kind and helpful. I would definitely come back in the future.

A decent hostel with a very good location. The room is home style and looked a bit old, but clean and pleasant enough for the stay. The building entrance is slightly less noticeable.

It is within walking distance of the train station, the Prada and other touristy areas. It’s not your 5-star hotel, but for a “hostel” I had my own room and bathroom. No complaints.

Ok stay
The location was excellent!! It was nice having our own bathroom. The other people at the hostel were so loud even up to 1 am. I wish they had quiet hours. The beds weren’t very comfortable. The WiFi was really good.

Good budget hotel in a great location
Great location however if you are arriving by train the the walk is all uphill. The hostal is above a cannabis shop. I would suggest you take the metro from the station to Anton Martin rather than carry your luggage up hill. There were plenty of supermarkets, shops and cafes/restaurants in the area. They offered us early check in and stored our luggage upon check out. The room was clean and there was a hairdryer but no kettle in the room. The room was cleaned one morning however they did not clean it the second morning. The walls are thin and you can hear your neighbours. I tried to contact the hostel owner about the noise however the door was locked overnight and I could not find a phone number for the property.

Had a very pleasant stay. Only negative is that the bed was a bit firmer than I prefer.
