Room was cleaned, and Jimmy (owner?) was very helpful & friendly. Location is just 2 minutes from subway stations & activity center. Excellent value for money. |

Very willing staff giving you proposals on where to go. Decently clean room and bathroom. Small room, small bathroom, poor sound insulation, very thin door, room located directly behind the reception gave no sense of privacy |

Great location, incredibly clean, large and comfortable triple room. Even though we faced onto a busy street with a balcony, the windows kept the noise out, so we slept soundly. The room was incredibly quiet and the place was very secure. Jimmy at the front desk was very helpful and kind. Would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others. |

Excellent shower with hot water and great pressure. Room was clean and maintained, close to everything in Madrid and major Metro stop. Staff was very friendly and spoke English. TV worked too! We had a triple which consisted of a single bed and a double bed. My friend and I shared the double bed as well as the one long body pillow they provided us. Two pillows would have been nice! |

The friendly owner and staff, the cleanliness, the central location. A simple pension, however, you really get good value for your money. Nothing negative! It was a nice place to stay. I highly recommend it. |

Location was excellent. Close to the places we wanted to visit. Close to the train station and to the Prado museum as well dowtown. The girl at the front desk was so helpful, kind and friendly, don't remember her name, but remember she was from Moldavia. The bathroom was a little bit too small. |

The location of the hostal is very central and all major attractions are in walking range or easily accessible by bus/metro. The room was spacious, comfortable and clean, although the bathroom was a little small (but with all the neccessary equipment. The hotel staff was very kind and helpfull and there was no problem with the English language. |

The location was great! You could walk to most city sights within about 10-15 minutes. The airport is about a 45 minute metro ride away, which only cost 2 Euros. The room was clean and the staff was very nice, even when we woke the owner up at 6am to check out. Not that I didn't like it, but it is a simple place so do not expect much beyond the basics. |

The location of the hotel makes it easy to see almost everything we wanted to see via walking. The staff was friendly and helpful and spoke English faily well. The room was cleaned daily. It's hard to know exactly where the actual hotel is - even when you're inside the front door - it's up the stairs (2 flights) with the name found only at the door to the actual hostal. Beds were very hard. |

Location was excellent for adventures to all the major sites; Quick access to all forms of transportation, including the airport and/or train stations; Personnel at the front desk 24 hrs WiFi wasn't the most reliable but still free |

When we choose a hotel, we look for three things - location in the centre, cleanliness and quiet, and that was exactly what we found in Carrera. I can't imagine a better location in Madrid, the bathroom and bedlinen were impeccably clean and it was really quiet (our windows faced the court). The personnel are friendly and helpful, the quality- price correlation excellent. We liked everything, although there are probably minor details that could still improve the hotel (like a fresh coat of paint for the walls). Still, considering the fact that it is not a 5 star hotel, it was really very-very good. |

location small room/ bathroom, old furniture, old tv, window view in a small and noisy inner court, poor natural daylight. There are only 2 good rooms, the ones that are presented on the site, but not everybody is so lucky to get one of them. |
