2nd stay in a great little hotel
This was my 2nd stay in this great little hotel and I will stay again next time I'm in Madrid. The room was immaculate and modern with an ensuite. The location was central yet the room was so quiet being set back, you couldn't hear any street noise. The hotel doesn't offer breakfast but this is fine by me as there are countless patisseries and cafés moments away and I'd rather have breakfast at a different cafe each morning. Thumbs up from me!

Great location
The hotel is in perfect location in the center of Madrid.l stayed in a single room, it was very small. The walls are very thin probably as l could hear everything what was going on in other rooms and in corridor. The bed was not so clean. I stayed just one night so for just one night sleep its ok

V convenient for the centre/Sol/Gran Via/Tribunal
Very convenient for the centre and located in main shopping street of Chueca (Furencarral) and a good choice of bars and restaurants. There's an excellent all-night patisserie nearby as well as a great fast food place, Siciliano.Very close to Tribunal metro/subway. I had a room away from the main street so seemed quiet with respect to steet noise. Madrid's late night life can be pretty noisy in this area if you have a room facing the street. Staff were friendly enough. I had a v small single room at an excellent price. Bathroom/toilet were at the end of the corridor and everything was very clean. WiFi worked well. The floor I stayed on seemed newly refurbished. The main problem was internal noise. The laminate flooring in the corridor amplified every noise and the ventilation grill high on the wall meant I could hear everything going on at the reception desk and in the corridor. Walls were thin and not well sound-insulated. I needed a decent room overnight before using Tribunal metro to get to a mainline train station early the next day so it worked out well for me, especially price-wise. Although I was due to pay upon arrival the staff had taken cash via my bank card before I got there. No big deal but I had specified a time I'd arrive and I hate letting my bank charge me extra for a non-sterling transaction. For the price:unbeatable value. I'd do a short stay again:)

tiny room with no windows
At the photos in hotels.com webpage is a very different room called as single as I was placed. At the photo the room supposed to have sink and space on a both sides of the bed, and there are curtains which suggests that there should be a windows. I received a very tiny room with no sink and no window. The manager does not want to move me to another room (even they were empty) - he demand a double payment for moving me to another room. I stay there 3 nights. There are only a few rooms in hostel, no kitchen. The worst thing was that you can hear every movement in the entire hostel. The walls must be made from cartoons. The location of the hostel is fine, close to center. The facility was at 4th flow (with lift), clean, but I have to stress the noise in the hostel, from a corridor also made by sneezing receptionist and people walking and taking shower in the middle of a night.

Convenient to get your head down
Nice clean friendly hotel. Had to share a bathroom but didn't mind as it was safe and always clean. Only downside was the room was just like a cupboard! No windows and very claustrophobic but hey what can you expect in a prime location in the capital for €70 for 3 nights? If you just want a bed and secure stay, I'd recommend the Abril Hostel

Desfavorable relación precio/beneficio
L recepción de La hostal se encuentra bajo otro nombre en un piso diferente al de las habitaciones. El baño tenía un olor desagradable y estaba mojado el piso (agua empozada). El piso de la ducha estaba sucio. La recepcionista fue muy amable, el lugar está ubicado en un lugar céntrico cerca de muchos bares y restaurantes.

Bis auf einen Vorfall waren wir mit dem Hotel zufrieden gewesen. Am ersten Morgen unseres Aufenthaltes wurden wir kurz vor 6:00 Uhr durch laute und lang dauernde Trampelschritte in der Etage über uns aufgeweckt und wachgehalten. Nach ca 20 Minuten ging meine Frau in das in der Etage über uns liegende Restaurant bat die Angestellte, die die Frühstückstische vorbereitete, nicht mit hochhackigen Schuhen alle in der darunter gelegenen Etage zu wecken. An unserem Abreisetag am 12.02.2019 gegen 10:00 Uhr bereitete eine unfreundliche Dame an der Rezeption unser Check-Out; kein Augenkontakt, kein Lächeln im Gesicht. Als wir ihr von dem o.g. Vorfall berichteten, reagierte sie völlig genervt und ungläubig. Anstatt sich zu entschuldigen, sagte die unfreundliche Dame, dass sie noch nie eine derartige Beschwerde gehabt hätten und würgte das Thema grimmig ab. Wir finden, dass eine solche Angestellte für die Rezeption mit Kundenkontakt nicht geeignet ist. Deshalb hat sie unsere Bewertung des Hotels negativ beeinflusst. Dahingegen, war an unserem Anreisetag am 10.02.2019 gegen 17:00 Uhr der junge Angestellte an der Rezeption äußerst freundlich und kompetent gewesen. Ansonsten hat das Hotel eine zentrale Lage und ist trotzdem sehr ruhig. Das 3-Bett -Zimmer ist geräumig und mit 3 "echten" bequemen Einzelbetten ausgestattet. Es war sehr sauber und gepflegt. Der einzige Nachteil ist: Der Raum mit Dusche und Toilette hat keinen Sicht- und Geräuschschutz sowie keinen eigenen Lichtschalter; man

Did not get what I paid for
Booked an air-conditioned single room with shared bathroom and was placed in a small room with no window and only a mobile air-conditioning that did not work properly! The only 'ventilation' was a hole in the wall above the doors that made the noise unbearable. I checked in around 9PM and the only receptionist did not speak English so no help that night. Next day managed to speak to an English speaking person that told me she acknowledges I did not get what I booked and the stay in my 'room' must be unbearable due to the heat, lack of air and no air-co (late June). She refused to move to another room unless I pay 15EUR/night extra. On top of that she even told me that they stopped selling my 'room' and that I should have checked their website because there the 'room' is described accurately (as opposed to hotels.com website). I just did and there is no mention of a windowless and air-condition less room... In short, be careful since you might not get what you are paying for! The location is nice though.

Albergo in zona centrale.
Buona disponibilità del personale, buona la pulizia e la dotazione. Come punto negativo per la stanza assegnatami, una singola, il letto è posto in modo che la testa di chi dorme è a ridosso della parete ove è situato il lavabo o la doccia dell'altra stanza ed il rumore dell'acqua che scorre nei tubi o degli oggetti appoggiati sono fastidiosissimi specialmente se al mattino presto o in piena notte.

Stinky toilet
I stayed in hostel abril only one night with Sigle room. When I arrived the room, I realized a stinky toilet. The toliet is also very very small and unconfortable. I couldn't stay with the smell for one night. So, I opened the window although the weather is cold. The room was quiet clean and the location is very good, but it was bad experience with the stinky toilet.

Nice,clean, cheap, central.
I stayed in probably their worst room, a single room without window and ventilation, a problem they solved with a ventilation duct over the door, directly to the hallway. This made it verry noisy, as all walking and talking in the hallway felt like it was happening in my room. I shared a toilet in the hallway, but not with too many others, I never had to line up and wait, not shure if anyone else was using it during my stay. I would recommend this to others, but don´t book the single room, the others looked like having proper ventilation and windows, and no open holes to the hallway ;)

Madrid easy and cheap
per un cambio di programma imprevisto ho dovuto allungare il mio soggiorno a Madrid e x le ultime notti non sono riuscito a trovare sistemazioni alternative. Mi sono dovuto adattare al bagno in comune ma al di la' di questo l'hostal risultava nel complesso accettabile: aria condizionata, tv e wi-fi. Unico neo la camera non e' stata fatta e quindi non sono stati cambiati gli asciugamani. Del resto mi sono fermato solo 2 notti e complessivamente ho passato in camera poche ore, pertanto ho preferito soprassedere.

Süßes Hostal im Herzen von Madrid
Das Hostal liegt inmitten einer Einkaufsstraße, 100m von der Gran Via entfernt. Zentraler geht's wohl kaum. Der Empfang war äußerst sympathisch und reibungslos. Die Frau an der Rezeption sprach neben spanisch und englisch, auch sehr gut deutsch. Ich hatte ein Einzelzimmer für 2 Nächte gebucht. Das Zimmer und Bad waren wirklich sehr klein, aber da ich da ja nur schlafen wollte und keinen längeren Aufenthalt geplant hatte ausreichend. Leider war es auch ein bisschen dunkel, weil mein Fenster zum Aufzug und Treppenaufging führte und daher mit einer Jalousie abgedunkelt war. Da liegt auch das andere Problem: Sobald des Nächtens der Lift angefordert wurde, stand man senkrecht im Bett. Das war wirklich sehr laut! Naja, mit Ohropax war auch das zu ertragen... Der Fernseher hat nur ein paar spanische Sender, also für jemanden, der nicht gut spanisch spricht, war das keine Option. Check out bis um 12Uhr ist sehr entspannt. Wer erst später abreist, sagt einfach bescheid und das Gepäck wird in einen Aufbewahrungsraum gebracht. Insgesamt war das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis (70€ für 2 Nächte) in dieser Lage sehr gut und ich würde es für einen kürzeren Aufenthalt jederzeit wieder buchen (vielleicht nach einem anderen Zimmer fragen ;)).
