The location is great! The fact there was an elevator while we have a 2 years old and his stroller!

Some have said it's hard to find, so bring up Google maps. It's directly opposite KFC. Then look up, there's a huge Hostal Ivor sign. But the buzzer to get in is marked with a small sign in the doorway below as it seems to be a shared entrance. It would be nice to have a key to get in, but usually the desk staff opened the door immediately, except when called away on one occasion. The buildings echo quite a bit and doors could slam if not closed gently, so if you had noisy or unthoughtful neighbours I can imagine that the sound could be annoying, but all the other guests were considerate during our stay, so we slept well. Overall we had a great break in a lovely location, with all the major sights in walking distance for 2 fittish 63 year olds.

You could not get a better location for sightseeing. Step straight out of the door and you are in the pedestrianised centre, with fast food, bars and shops. Just a minutes walk to 2 metro stations, and beautiful plazas with traditional restaurants and tapas bars just a few minutes walk away. We felt very safe and the streets were busy with people all the time of our stay in early April. Staff were so kind and helpful. We asked for extra blankets and a kettle on the first day, as the room was very bare. When we came back they had also put a mini fridge, mug and spoon in the room. Although the room was basic, it was spotlessly clean, and there was plenty of hot water for the bath and shower. Weather was perfect in the mid 20s, so we didn't have to use heating or air con, so can't report on that. Room was cleaned and beds made every day. Ideal as a base, if you are out exploring all day. Staff could not have been more helpful and friendly. They prebooked a taxi transfer on our last day, for a 3.00am getaway and it arrived dead on time. €33 to the airport.

All good! Some people might not like the street noise but the shutters can be closed and block out most of the external noise. We were there in early March so can't testify to how the room might be heated in winter or kept cool in summer.

Excellent location - main galleries and museums within walking distance if you like to walk around Madrid, as we do, but if not then Opera and Sol metros are very close. Room was clean and the shower facilities good. We would stay there again.

Location and staff.

Stayed in January 2024

The rooms are not soundproofed. Thus, you can hear what is happening in the other rooms as well as the reception area, whether it is a phone call or someone checking in.

The location was in a very central location with only 5 minutes walk to Plaza Sol. There is a staff in the reception for 24 hours.

Thin walls - could hear next door snoring but still great value for money

Fantastic location

The room was closed, could have had a balcony for a better view but understandable since it’s a hostel should have had a kettle at least

The hotel was in the main tourist spot near metro Sol and opera , where fireworks are held but I couldn’t watch them due to the crowd :(

It's not the prettiest hotel but it's very well situated, the staff are friendly and helpful (eg lent me a kettle) and it's comfortable. It's on the second floor. I'm travelling by bicycle; I carried my bike up the stairs (the lift being too small) and left it in my room: that was OK for me but may be problematic for two people. For central Madrid the cost seemed very reasonable.

A little noisy at night coming from the street, but only to be expected given its location.

The hotel is right in the centre, next to two Metro stations and within walking distance of the attractions.

The only thing that was a bit upsetting, which I believe it's not in your hands to solve, was the noise. I could hear everything in other rooms and in the room/house upsatirs.

All was good, very clean, the staff were very pleasant. the location was just perfect. I felt very comfortable in the hostel.

No kitchen for general use. Thread bare towels 😞 provided.

Right on a busy street in central Madrid. Double glazed windows to keep the noise out. 24 hour desk right outside the door. Happy to arrange a cab for our early morning flight out.

If you’re a big guy such as me, the beds were a bit small. If you’re looking for a room for high quality furniture, the place is not right for you. However, If you’re planning to stay at the center with a standard quality furniture go for it

They clean the room everyday and they clean good. Location is the best for people to stay right at the heart of the city

It was very hot night because it hasn't got air-conditioning. The plug to connect the smartphone charger was behind the bed instead of next to. That's position is good for two single beds but is not good for a suite bed.

The cleaning and the location.
