    For an older person such as myself it was not very clear where the lift was , instructions on how to enter would have been good. No taxi numbers were available at the reception.

    The price was very good for the central location.

    It was basic - small shared bathroom etc - but it is a hostal in a major city centre and at this price couldn't expect much more

    My only criteria was a bed close to Atocha Station for my late night finish/early train/brief stay. Fitted the bill. Wouldn't use normally but did the job

    My window opened onto a surface where a person could enter; it did not lock and felt unsafe. Some other windows opening onto the surface had metal grids for safety.

    I saw through an open door that some rooms had large windows and a balcony. Location was near Atocha.

    Very noisy. The hostel is in reality a very old flat, without renovation, in which the rooms are being rented.

    Room was very small and extremely basic. A shelf was broken and hanging from a hole in the wall, lights were defect. Only one shared bathroom/WC for seven rooms, and as it was occupied all morning, I had to leave without a shower. I stayed in the corner room next to the reception and it was very noisy.

    Near to Train station.

    Lady who signed me in didn't even confirm she had the booking: worked through her papers for a while and I only knew I was in the right place when she gave me the key. Fairly basic facilities but to be fair it's central and cheap.

    Central location once I found there are two places with the same name. I booked this one but first went to the other. Room looked out to a courtyard: may sound dull but it meant it was quieter and cooler.

    The hostel is a bit pricy for what it offers. the rooms on the exterior side are very noisy, keep it in mind if you are a light sleeper. the window of my room also couldn't close correctly so I guess in winter is freezing.

    the location is excellent and the staff very accommodating. it's ok if you stay a couple of night. I wouldn't recommend it for longer stays.

    -noise at night - plan to stay here no more than two nights -dark rooms and not great lighting -generally very old building and rooms, but you get what you pay for

    Good location. While no private bathroom, my room had a sink so I could brush my teeth without leaving the comfort of my room.

    The beds were actually fold out guest beds with mattresses on, we were placed in a double room with separate beds even though we are a couple. The duvet covers were very old and the hangers on the one clothing shelf were so old and weirdly deformed we could not hang any clothes on them. Out of 10 sockets in the room only the 3 close to the ceiling worked. There was a fan on the ceiling but the controller seemed broken. The door to the cute tiny balcony could not be closed all the way, so no protection from the noise of the traffic, which can be deafening. For a couple of days two older guys with daddy bellies and no shirts hung out in the kitchen, cooked, smoked and watched TV quite loudly.

    The hostel seems safe: all doors are reserved to those with a key, and the hostel entrance is a massive, heavy door with a huge lock, I can only imagine a tank knocking it down, nothing else. The room door did not seem as safe. The staff cleaned every day; the towels, the sheets, the bathroom were spotless clean, you could eat off of them. The heating is really good, you won't be cold in this hostel in any room.

    The hallways smelt like smoke, the bathroom was dirty, it was advertised as a hostel but seemed more like a cheap home for older men. Felt a little uneasy.

    Close proximity to town centre and train station. Good air conditioning and WiFi.

    It’s cheap, in all the sense of the word. You get what you pay for. The bathroom is on the hallway and I don’t mind that but it could be cleaner, that may be my biggest complain.

    It’s right next to the bus station where you take the bus to the airport. I just had to grab my luggage and walk there.

    There was a shared bathroom between residents. This made it difficult to use bathroom at the time you needed it. If someone was taking a shower or using the bathroom you would have to wait until they were done.

    Location was good. I liked how the room had its own sink. Also the room had plenty of space to move around. The lady on the front desk explained that we could check out at anytime and leave the keys in the basket, which is good for people who need to check out early.
