Excellent Location
We had a two room suite for the three of us and it was very comfortable. However, the bathroom was very extremely small. The rooms were clean. The location was convenient to many attractions and we walked almost everywhere we went in Madrid.

This place cannot be better ❤️
This is a hostel but has the option of rooms with private bathroom. That’s the one I took. The room was very clean, everything works inside the room. The location is excellent. Just steps to Plaza Del Sol, the metro station and the principal attractions and shops of Madrid

Great location, very clean, cordial staff. The room was lacking especially the very small bathroom and shower could not bend over to wash my lower body. Bathroom sink tiny and no mats to place outside of shower to prevent water on floor.
