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!
We enjoyed our stay. Alfredo was a great front desk host and gave us great directions to find our way around. We arrived early. Our room was not quite ready so they stored our luggage while we went and ate lunch. Then we were able to get in to our room early.
Our room was clean and comfortable. It was also very quiet.
This room was a perfect location. We could walk to Retiro Park and the Palacio Real and everywhere in between. There were many food options very nearby.
The Sol metro station is just a 2 min walk- if that.
FYI- if using an uber or taxi- be aware that a lot of times the street is blocked to traffic except police and deliveries. You will need to meet/leave the taxi/uber at the corner- it is not far at all though.

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.

One of the staff was very rude because we were claiming the room that we pay in Expedia.
At night there a lot of noise from the street
