Castilla

El Hotel está muy cerca de los lugares de interés de Madrid, museos, parque del Retiro, Las Cibeles, Paseo Colón, cerca del metro Alonso Martínez y línea de buses.Rodeado de restaurantes y bares. Pudo ir caminando a la mayoría de estos sitios. Posee una cocina pequeña equipada con lo básico(horno, microondas y refrigerador, platos, tazas y cubiertos) para que puedas prepararte un desayuno antes de salir. La limpieza es excelente. Solo está el incoveniente de no tener ascensor y está en tercer piso. Mi habitación daba frente a la calle y sentía ruido pero no me afectó pues tengo buen sueño. El WI-FI del Hostal no funcionó con mi ordenador pero me pude conectar a otras redes disponibles. Lo volvería a utilizar y lo recomiendo por el precio y beneficios.

Le personnel est très sympathique et serviable prêt à vous rendre service. Hôtel idéalement placé pour visiter Madrid, calme dans la semaine mais bruyant le WE car il y a des cafés et restaurants en dessous. Attention pas d'ascenseur ! il faut être un peu sportif pour monter les 3 étages. Nous avons aimé et éventuellement y retourner un jour.

I stayed two nights at Castilla and found it to be a good value. It's only two blocks from a convenient metro stop but it's actually walkable to the main spots. Madrid's main attractions aren't that far from each other if you don't mind walking. Shared bathroom which was fine with me. The sign of the hotel is rather easy to miss since this place is in a more residential area and the sign is really small. But if you get a detail map from the airport tourist office you should be OK. I found it easily with the map. Some cons are no reception but they give you the keys to the building. Hallways are timed lights so can be dark until it's activated. But for its price and location I think it's a good value.

Muy bien situado, trato cordial, es idóneo si necesitas una cama para dormir.

I stayed in the single room. It was very comfortable for me for the two nights I was there. The nights can be loud out the window but I guess that's Spain. The biggest problem I had was finding the place. None of the businesses knew where Calle de Santa Teresa was. I suggest asking a cab driver or having a better map. I was able to walk there after taking the airport bus to Plaza de Cibiles. The lady that runs the joint was very nice and spoke enough English to understand, at least she made an attempt. I would stay there again for sure. I got my own set of keys for the building and the room so I didn't have to go ringing the doorbell late at night or whenever I came in, which was the case at some other hostels.

We (myself and my friend--both college students studying abroad) had a lovely stay at Castilla. It was a little hard to find at first because we hadn't thoroughly researched its location, but once we found it (with the help of the tourist information booth at plaza de cibeles) the hotel was easy to access. We found our room to be pleasant and perfect for our budget. Basically it is an entire floor of an apartment building (3rd floor, no elevator--probably not good for older people) and there are many medium-sized rooms pleasantly decorated and prepared for visitors. We had a shared bathroom and it was always freshly cleaned in the morning. A little loud on weekend nights because of nightlife on the street but the location is easily walkable from many cool parts of Madrid so we thought it was worth it. We also really enjoyed that we felt at ease to just relax in the room and not be bothered by anyone, it was nice to have some privacy after staying in so many hostel dorms. Overall we were very happy.

My first impression of the hotel was not good - it is hard to find, up three flights of stairs and is basically a converted flat. Our room was small and basic with a shared bathroom but can't complain as the price was very good. The only problem is that you only get one set of keys per room which makes it difficult to do your own thing as the landlady is not always in to let you in. That said, the landlady is very accommodating and let us store our bags for a few hours before we caught the plane. She wasn't sure if she would be around when we came back to pick up our bags so said we could leave our bags locked in our room and just asked us to leave the keys on the bedroom table on the way out - perfect! Location was a bit out of the centre but within walking distance and actually we spent a lot of time within our local area as there were many nice and inexpensive bars as well as brilliant tapas. So overall - I would absolutely recommend this hotel.

The owner was skeptical, paranoid and unhelpful. I asked her at the frist day "can u please leave our room as it coz it does not need clean during our stay,, she said: okey that's fine" but she got into our room every day while we are out and she did not do any clean:( Another problemwith her, i left some emty bottles at my bed room and i needed to give them back to the bar but she took them awayand when i asked her where r the bottles? she said: don't drink at the bedroom drink in the street, and don't talk with me "shashsh" but i tried politely to talk with her but she said get out or i will call the police,,

The manager is a very kind and helpful woman, I felt at home. The room and facilities were in good condition and were kept perfectly clean. The bed was expecially nice. The location is great in itself. The only downside is the street noise from a couple of bars which went on into the wee hours. I have a good white-noise machine that helped.

This hostel is close to an important metro stop. The room is clean and bug free and the owner is an extremely kind Spanish woman. I would most certainly return especially because of the amazingly cheap prices!
