It was a five star hostel. I have stayed at other hostels while traveling and this one was great, exactly what you would expect (in a good way). Daily:... fresh towels, shampoo, soap, plenty of hot water before noon, our guess was most people slept in :), the bed was made and breakfast (toast, ham, cheese, jam, butter, cereal, graham crackers, milk, OJ, water, Spanish coffee). The heater definitely works. We opted for an interior room, but since we spent most of our time out it didn't bother us. We still had windows with a traditional view of Madrid buildings, I studied abroad here and it was a view I was use to, clothes hanging from other floors :) The location was great, we took the metro from the airport and as we exited Sol (c Alcala) we saw our hostel. It was my husbands first time in Madrid (Europe for that matter) and his first hostel stay and he was very pleased. He had plenty of doubt before arriving. Puerta del Sol is busy day and night, well patrolled, we always felt secure at whatever time we arrived to our hostel. Needless to say, we'd stay here again and we recommend it to anyone traveling to Madrid. Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Mar 4, 2013
