Hostal Carrera

The cleanliness of the room - cleaned each day -towels etc changed.

As other guests have commented - not very easy to find initially -but fine afterwards.

Excellent position , walking distance to the Prado , other galleries and station. Very helpful staff, comfortable large room

A bit noisy but we were offered a quieter inside room .

Very good location. Very nice staff.

Very friendly and helpful proprioter. Room at the back of hostal was extremely quiet despite being in a busy street. Location was excellent, everything within walking distance and close to many lively plazas for eating in the evenings.

The sign needs to be bigger so that is is easier to find as the hostal is on the third floor and not signed at street level.

Clean, comfortable and convenient to central Madrid and the major art galleries. Accommodating when I missed my flight. And largely friendly and helpful.

Inconsistency of information/some service - 1. Access to refrigerator and cold water . One staff member indicated to help yourself. The owner firmly and for me embarrassingly told us that we could not access these things ourselves; 2. Internet: On asking about internet access [the reason for choosing this hostal] the first staff member I asked said she didn't know anything about it. Shortly after I asked a second staff member who immediately produced instructions; 3. Pillows. We were moved rooms and I asked for a second pillow as there was only one to share between two. The staff member refused. I had to become cross and then she rang someone and then got me a second pillow.

Perfect location, controlled access, clean, good size room for the three of us, 5-15 minute walk to all the main sites…great value for your money!! I would definitely stay here again. The couple running the hostel were extremely nice and accommodating.

The outside looks a little shady and the elevator is about 200 years old, but once you get inside, it’s surprisingly a clean, safe and quiet hostel. Don’t judge a book by its cover!

The location is fantastic...close to everything...Puerta del Sol, Prado, Thyssen...dining and the Metro. The equivalent of been in Times Square, Manhattan.

none...for the price and location it was just fine

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

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.

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.

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.
