Hostal Rivera

Great location. Nice and very helpful staff Easy to find Everything was great but property kinda old..

Room was very comfortable and excellent value for money! Reception very helpful!

Arrived 30mins before check-in time and left luggage with owner. Returned 40mins later and my bag was open! Owner couldn't understand English when I was questioning him about it. Room itself was clean and basic but the owner/service was appalling. Spent one night and couldn't wait to get out of there. Changed accommodation for the rest of my Madrid stay.

The location is very good and close to a lot of sight seeing places. If you are on a budget and staying over for a day or two its OK. Convenience and no frills over luxury. You need to ask for more toilet paper and small piece of soap. But you get what you pay for.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The bed was not very comfortable. Wifi only available in common area. Lift/Elevator extremely small. Online it states rooms available as of noon but it's not the case. Because checkout is noon, the rooms are available for checkin closer to 1-2pm. The cleaning lady was really nice and got started on our room right away but she wasn't happy about it. Wish the check in time was updated for future travelers.

The place is a condominium in a second floor and it is more like a guest house than a hostel, clearly managed by the owners who live in the same floor some doors away from the rented rooms, however, that is not a bad thing, not at all. The place is clean, close of many tourist attractions, places for eating, for buying food and specially close of the subway which is just a few meters from the condo. For an independent entrance and exit, you receive three different keys for crossing the three doors that separate you from the street. The hostel is inexpensive and you will receive what you pay, in our case, a small room with two twin beds placed together to form a queen size bed at the European style. A big closet, one table, one chair, a small TV without cable but with access to many local channels that help to put you in the Spanish mood. A clean bathroom with bidet (weird to use but better than toilet paper LOL), shower, small tub and a dryer. Our room had a balcony with a wide view of the street and a small heater that was hottest than we thought considering the size.

----- was just an okay accommodation. Good locatiom and good for the price

Good basic accommodation in location close to city centre and metro station. Room was everything that was needed for a short city break. Supermarket close by. Would have liked separate pillows rather than one long pillow for sharing. Kettle in the room would have also been a good addition.

This place was just what I needed for my one night stay in Madrid: very close to the Atocha train station and to Madrid center, simple buy cozy room, very clean, allowed me to check in at 1pm, which I really needed. If you need something simple, affordable and well located, this is the place.

Tiny room, other than location, best avoided. It was difficult to find space in any other hotels
