Very convenient location, about sixty steps to the metro exit, and five minute's walk to Gran Via. The room I have has no window. In fact, once you step into the hostal, the reception, hallway and bathroom are all enveloped by walls. You don't know it's day or night, rain or shine outside.

Malasaña Stay
as very accommodating and welcoming. Our room was a perfect place to rest while exploring the neighborhood of Malasaña. Excellent location with many Metro stations and restaurant options at your fingertips. Would certainly recommend.

I showed up here early in the morning totally exhausted and the woman at the desk went out of her way to take care of me. These guys are friendly, the place is clean, the WiFi is good, and the owners really care that guests are comfortable.

It is a really nice and affordable budget hostel for travellers who aren’t too fussy. Check in was simple and fuss free, the location is amazing. You are pretty much within walking distance to the main city centre. The Real Madrid stadium is easily accessible by train and takes less than 25 mins to reach. The hostel itself is clean. They provide towels and toiletries as well which many hostels don’t do. One little thing, as indicated by other reviewers, walls are a little thin so you can hear others in their room but it really isn’t that bad. Would highly recommend this!

Meh
The piso hotel room is in a central location but the vibe there is so odd to me. Maybe this is the standard in Europe but it’s so odd to hear everything around you. Every step and voice. The room was quite small and felt like staying in a hostel would have been a much better value for $$.

Very good and quite location and close to everything. The place is clean and the staffs are friendly and attentive. The walls could be a little thin, you can hear other guests talking and open/close their room door late night and early morning. The bed is a little narrow.

Great value for your money and excellent location.
Great value for your money! The place is inmaculate, rooms are big, nicely decorated and with a comfortable bathroom. Location is perfect, right in the bohemian Malasaña neighborhood, with plenty of bars and restaurants around and less than one block from a Metro station. The hotel is on San Bernardo street which is very lively and a few blocks away from popular Gran Via avenue. Highly recommended.

Only stayed one night and basically slept being completely exhausted after a 30 hour flight, but it was quiet and the staff speak English well and were very amenable and helpful. Especially Julia.

Good location, noisy room.
Convenient location and friendly staff. Very thin walls so room was quite noisy and didn't feel very private. Door was left unlocked one day after room cleaning service. Pictures of room shown during the booking process did not match the room we booked at all - so the actual room we stayed in was much smaller, and definitely not as nice as in the picture.

Great value
The room was unexpectedly quite good although the bed was quite hot to sleep in as I think it was covered in plastic under the sheets. Bathroom is good and security is also good. We asked reception to book us a taxi but when none arrived we hailed one from the street at 5.30am - lucky it's a big city and there are loads of cabs! Great location near tapas bars and 10-15min walk to Sol

Central and comfy beds
The room was small, room 19. We had a tiny window which opened out to the smell of cooking 24/7. Our room had a sweet sickly smell, but couldn't open window as got cooking smell. This is our only criticism. HOWEVER the beds were so comfortable, really comfy. The shower was a power shower. Lovely bedding. Hostal staff friendly and helpful... we asked for a kettle and one was produced.. we took our own mugs and tea/coffee. Free wifi throughout. Right next door to a tapas bar, friendly staff, our free tapas plate got bigger each day. Free wifi Central for hop on hop off red tour bus. Turn right outside hostal. Walk to Main Street turn left 100metres there is bus stop, no 8 on map. Loads to see and do. Weather was colder than we anticipated, but luckily we could layer up on clothes. Defo return to hostal but not room 19. The hostal is bit tricky to spot, but no 55 is clearly shown on the door, go up the stairs to 1st floor, and ring the bell. Easy when you know.

Room no. 1 ruined our weekend in Madrid.
We asked for a quiet room. WE were given Room no.1. We did not sleep for 3 nights. Extreme noise coming from lift outside the room, wooden stairs - up to the first floor where reception was - people coming and going. Wooden stairs inside the hostal - suitcases and people with high heels noise throughout the night. Discussions with receptionists at the hatch. WE asked to be moved after the first night but were not accommodated. Also the plumbing is noisey - its possible to hear people showering and flushing the toilet beside the room and up over it. Staff were very friendly and its a good location but Room no. 1 ruined our stay. Also, we wre not advised that you have to prepay in full for your stay on arrival. Also its not made clear that the hostal is on the first floor and just a main door in from the road - hard to find when it is dark at night and you are not sure of your surroundings when arriving for the first time. In short, we would not stay here again unless we were guaranteed a quiet room.

Lovely hotel on quiet street near center
The hotel staff is absolutely lovely and it is a great deal for the price. The room was quite small, but made good use of the space available. We enjoyed our stay so much we cancelled a different hotel to stay here again on our way back through Madrid.
