Clean room Nice beds Great location in the city center

Tourist, Netherlands

The hostal is located in a great location, close to the centre and close to the metro while also enjoying an area with vintage shops, art shops and plenty of restaurants and bar within a 5 minute walk. The main bar area is approximately 10 minutes away so it is close to the action but away from the noise. The reception are helpful. Cleaning lady does a great job. WiFi was great.

Ian, Malta

Everything was great. Christian, the host, was awesome. Room was clean, organized, modern. Location couldn't be better.

Geman, Spain

Great value for the money. Everything very clean and very quiet. The location is great, 5 min from grand via and 15 min by walk from all major attractions. The personnel is also 5 stars, very nice and help you with any doubt and give you good advices. WiFi, AC and refrigerator in bedroom.

Jorge, Portugal

The location is perfect. The room was big, bathroom too. TV had a music channel. Check-in and check out were quick. A supermarket is just 4 minutes away. Also very close to metro station. Wi-fi worked very well!

Ivo, Czech Republic

Carmen, Switzerland

The single room I was given was clean and comfortable. The hostel is in a great location: very close to Gran Via, Malasaña and Checua districts. Easy to reach Barajas Airport from the hostel by metro, just walking 5 mins to Palaza de Espana station.

Antostar, Italy

I liked the room where you could make tea, use computer etc.

Lesley, Ireland

The hostel is located in centre of the city and is at a walkable distance to main places like Gran Via, Sol etc.

It wasn’t a star rated accommodation but as one only wants a clean, comfortable bed. Clean room and clean bath/toilet. It was all there. ❤️

Room not ready ie not cleaned when checking in at 2:30 PM. Stayed in Room 10 somewhat noisy for a "quiet" street on the nights I stayed if a light sleeper. Lift to Room 10 is not operational.....20+ steps not ideal for elderly, mobility issues or lots of luggage. Property details need to be updated to reflect no lift.

There was a weird noise in the toilet all night that might have been water flowing but not big deal. The place is cute.
The location is quite nice, few steps away you can find two lines of the metro. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The rooms were big, with clima and a clean toilet.

Both windows faced another part of the building, an internal yard or something like that. For this reason, the room was a bit dark but it was not a big problem for me - I spent most of my time in the city. Also remember the reception is in the same street just opposite the hotel.
The location is perfect. The room was big, bathroom too. TV had a music channel. Check-in and check out were quick. A supermarket is just 4 minutes away. Also very close to metro station. Wi-fi worked very well!
