Guest Reviews
- Diego R (9/5): -
- nienke (8/5): - Locatie is fantastisch, perfecte plek om hiervandaan Madrid te ontdekken.
- Ruyman (8/5): Corta pero muy disfrutada - Su facilidad para entrar y salir cómodamente sin llaves y a cualquier hora, su ubicación tan céntrica a pocos pasos de la Puerta del Sol, plaza mayor y Mercado de San Miguel Evidentemente no es culpa del lugar sino de la situación pero hay bastante ruido exterior por ser una zona tan céntrica de Madrid y estar cerca de una pequeña plaza
- Ignacio Julian (4/5): -

- Yuksel (8/5): Good value for money. Excellent location. Clean room. Would definitely come back if in Madrid again. - The room was clean and comfortable. We arrived within the reception hours 2pm to 10pm and was greeted by the receptionist. Had no problems with lock. Room was clean and comfortable. Electric kettle was welcome. The bathroom did not have an exhaust fan, so we had to open the window a bit, which let street noise in.
- Ruth (9/5): - Sehr freundliches Personal. Das Treppemhaus ist etwas fragwürdig. Demr Lift nicht vertrauenswürdig. Aber einmal im Etablissement ist alles ok.
- Salome (9/5): Wonderful stay in the heart of Madrid city centre - Beautiful room, perfectly clean and the location is perfect to explore the center on foot. There are quite a few steps to get into the tiny elevator so travelling with a baby in a stroller was challenging
- serhat.yuksel (8/5): Perfect location, comfortable bed, friendly staff - Very comfortable bed, perfect location, easy access to the building, good communication and friendly staff. Occasionally unpleasant smell in the bathroom but that was doable.
- McIntosh (8/5): Great location and Staff, we will be back! - This was a great location near everywhere we had planned on going. The room was well situated and very clean. Small fridge was nice to have as was the bottle of water. The staff worked with us on dropping of our luggage early before check in, much appreciated!!! Also an issue with the door code was corrected right away! Awesome staff!! Thank you! It would be nice to have a wash cloth in the bathroom, as there was only the hand towels and bath towels. We are just used to having them. And although the elevator works great, the stairs are a bit dilapidated and very uneven. It makes it a bit tricky if going that way, and we are stair people, it is part of our daily routine to help keep us in better shape. Small things that did not take away from the best parts! Thanks!
- RAUL (10/5): FANTASTICA - Gran ubicacion Tuve que reclamar la factura que estaba solicitada anticipadamente
- Paula (9/5): Calidad precio excelente - La ubicación y el trato del personal La ducha. El agua caliente funciona mal
- Serene Victoria (9/5): Buena - Hermosa habitación La entrada al hotel es pésima y la recepción miniatura
- Raquel (10/5): - A localização era imelhorável. Tendo em conta que estávamos no centro do centro de Madrid, poderia significar algum ruído, mas não aconteceu: as janelas mantêm o silêncio perfeito dentro do quarto. Extremamente limpo, fácil de aceder através de código e com facilidades para guardar as malas antes do check-in e depois do check-out. A Helena foi um encanto de paciência, super simpática e atenciosa. Voltaremos sem dúvida. Esteve sempre tudo bem.
- Lesley (8/5): -
- Nipanan (10/5): - สะอาด สะดวก ใกล้ สถานที่เที่ยวสำคัญ ไม่มี
- Giuseppe (8/5): - Posizione e servizio. l’odore sgradevole proveniente (credo) dai materiali della stanza, dato che se tenevamo le porte chiuse si amplificava.
- Jing Hui (10/5): - Location, spacious n sparkling clean Light is too dim in toilet n full body mirror
- Marc (9/5): Topverblijf - Vrij ruimte kamer, keurig opgeruimd en schoon, met een prima badkamer. Ook: helemaal niet gehorig, we hebben rustig geslapen.
- Ana cecilia (8/5): - Está cerca de todo, la chica de recepción súper amable.
La cama muy cómoda. No tenía agua caliente para bañarse, tremendo porque hacía frío por las noches y a la mañana sin agua caliente para bañarse nos congelamos.
- Irish Kay (6/5): - Good location lingering bad smell from the bathroom
- Florencia Noemi (10/5): -
- Esther (9/5): -
- Klaus (10/5): Das Zentrum von Madrid, direkt vor der Haudtüre - Zentral gelegen und trotzdem eher ruhig. Pastelería Santa Eulalia mit dem besten Frühstück ever an der selben Strasse. Der Plaza de Mayor ist direkt neben an. Mitten im Barrio Austrias findet man auf Schritt und Tritt feine kleine Details die den Aufenthalt speziell machen. Gleich gegenüber des Bypillow Citadel ist übrigens der älteste Sohn von Gayo auf die Welt gekommen. Das Schlesssystem ist nicht unproblematisch. Um die Zimmertüre zu öffnen, brauchten wir immer mehrere Anläufe. Sonst waren wir jedoch sehr zufrieden.

- Jaime Bonilla (9/5): - La ubicación Todo estuvo bien
- Cecilia (8/5): - Es muy cómodo, y muy amplio, vale la pena, además de estar cerca de muchos puntos de interés La atención es más o menos buena, es fría la habitación, o hay un manual para el uso del aire acondicionado
- Hristiyan (9/5): Fenomenal! - Muy limpio y tiene todo lo que necesitas, sin extra cosas. Solo hubo algo de ruido de la habitación de arriba.
- Adrianna (10/5): Wspaniałe miejsce do eksplorowania Madrytu! - To mój drugi pobyt w tym obiekcie, jeśli wrócę do Madrytu to też tutaj. Lokalizacja jest idealna. Pokój czysty i bardzo wygodny.
- Diez Herrera (8/5): -
- Valdivieso (10/5): - Me gustó todo.
- Miguel María (7/5): -
- Agathe (8/5): - La localisation La literie
- Cecilia (10/5): -
- Piotr (5/5): - The room was fine and had everything I needed. Nothing extraordinary, but the bed was super comfortable and the location was amazing. On the first night, there was no hot water. When I called the emergency line, I was told to go to sleep and that it would be fixed in the morning. The person kept saying ‘good night’ repeatedly, which felt dismissive in that situation.
- Joseane (10/5): - A entrada é através de senhas, super seguro e próximo das principais atrações de Madrid Não teve essa opção!! Adorei a acomodação
- Raúl Alberto (10/5): Genial - Todo excelente
- Réka (9/5): -
- Rajan (8/5): Great location and very comfortable stay with kids. -

- Eva (8/5): Muy cómodo y muy bien equipado. Reformado con gusto y bien atendido. - Hostal modesto pero reformado con mucho gusto, actualizado, muy bien pensado y equipado con todo lo necesario y con detalles propios de alojamientos de segmento superior. Habitación amplia, muy bien aprovechada. Muy limpio. Taquillas en recepción que hacen muy cómodo el dejar el equipaje. Personal amable y acceso cómodo y atendido. Zona inmejorable. La cama podría mejorarse por una de mejor calidad/ menos gastada. Algunos elementos de mobiliario repasar el desgaste. Con eso ya sería perfecto.
- Christine (8/5): Hôtel avec emplacement idéal, propre et bien équipé - Chambre très propre, mini frigo, bouilloire avec dosettes de café
- Ana (10/5): -
- Claudia (9/5): - Estaba cerca del centro y de Atocha La calle en la que estaba ubicada, por el poco tránsito en la noche.
- Jose Israel (8/5): -

- María Amalia (10/5): Súper recomendable! - Ubicación y atención del personal excelente! Helen me recibió de forma muy amable y se preocupó de cada detalle para que mi estadía en Madrid sea una gran experiencia! Pude disfrutar mucho de la maravillosa ciudad! Nada
- carmelo (7/5): Ottima posizione prezzo eccessivo - Posizione eccellente, stanza di adeguate dimensioni arredo moderno, facile accesso in autonomia con codice, letti comodi. Odore sgradevole di fogna risalente dai tubi del bagno, prezzo eccessivo, scale per accedere all'ascensore.
- Christian (10/5): - Super Clean, Great Staff, Amazing Location - Had a late check-in staff and instructions could not have been better
- Eglė (8/5): - Vieta puiki, arti centras. Labai plonos sienos.. triukšmas. Viskas girdisi.
- Andrew (8/5): -
- Alfredo V (8/5): - Situacion La cama y un poco viejo
- Rosa (9/5): - La camera era confortevole, pulita, la posizione centrale Il palazzo lascia davvero a desiderare
- Καναβέλλη (10/5): -
- Alina (4/5): -
- Adrián (8/5): Perfecto para escapada express - Está nuevo casi todo, bonito y bien cuidado. La habitación es amplia y cómoda.
Ubicación inmejorable, sobre todo para turismo, a mi me vino bien por trabajo también.
Detalles a valorar como secador y plancha de vapor. La ducha es pequeña (mino 1,80m y soy delgado) al lavarme la cabeza me daba los codos en las paredes o mampara y me costaba girarme. Tampoco tenía mucha presión el agua…
Le faltan detalles como: Enchufes en el escritorio o cerca, la nevera podría estar más integrada con el diseño y no en el medio de la habitación, no había escobilla, la luz en el baño es bonita pero pobre en el espejo, no tienen las luces bien conmutadas… detalles fáciles de subsanar, nada preocupantes.
- MARIA ISABEL (9/5): -
- Flavia (9/5): Perfect location and confort - The location is excellent, extremely well placed. It’s in the city center, within walking distance of many major attractions and also close to the metro station. The mattress was extremely soft, though that’s probably a matter of personal preference.
- JUAN ALBERTO (10/5): - Ubicación, limpieza, atención No sabría que decir
- Neha (8/5): Worth the price - Staff was lovely, let us have a twin room when it became available! Room itself was spacious and well equipped The bathroom had a sewage smell

- Chiara (9/5): - Hotel in ottima posizione centrale, con tutto il necessario per un buon soggiorno.
- Vladimir (10/5): Todo muy limpio y ubicación perfecta - Las habitaciones muy limpias, cama muy cómoda. Toallas y lo demás todo muy limpio. Ubicación perfecta
- Manuel (7/5): -
- Sandra (9/5): Agradable - El personal muy amable . Buena ducha . La primera habitación oscura , olía mal el baño . Las paredes del baño sucias . Por suerte nos cambiaron a otra .
- Laura (7/5): - De locatie is heel erg goed! De douche was niet heel lang warm. De tweede persoon had halverwege wel koud water.
Snelle douche nemen dus als er meer dan een persoon moet douchen.
- David (10/5): Could not recommend this place more - First of all the attention given by all the staff was superb!! Always keen to help, with a good attitude all the time.
The room was cleaned everyday and it looked as if I was just arriving for the first time. They had essentials like coffee, tea, a kettle, mini fridge and even biscuits.
A plus for me was having a wardrobe and an in-suit so you don’t have to share with anyone. They provide you with amenities like shampoo, shower gel and even conditioner and I have to say I wanted to take them home cuz they were good quality. And the bed was super comfy.
The hotel was very close to everything, minutes walking from gran via and Sol but also the neighbourhood where is located (Opera) had many things to see.
They don’t have a night receptionist but they have someone on call ready to assist you if you need them when out of hours.
Honestly I could not recommend this place more I liked it all
- MARIA BEGOÑA (4/5): - La ubicacion muy buena El olor a tubería en el cuarto de baño era muy desagradable.
El colchón mejorable, acabé con lumbago.
- Olivia (7/5): -
- Iris (10/5): Buena ubicación, limpio y habitaciones amplias - Esta muy bien situado, todo limpio y la habitación era muy amplia. Todo el personal fue muy simpatico y tienes lockers gratis para dejar el día que te vayas. Lo unico malo es que es complicado aparcar cerca pero por que yo fui en coche, es algo mas personal.
- JOSE (10/5): Genial - Calidad precio inmejorable
Muy limpio y muy completo
- Amy larissa (8/5): - Good location and clean
- Stanislav (10/5): -
- Ilias (10/5): -
- Tad (7/5): - Comfy, spacious, and we'll located. Shower was too small, water wasn't hot enough, and shampoo dispenser didn't dispence enough shampoo.
- Laura María (7/5): Buenísima - La ubicación y la limpieza El recibidor del edificio
- Rouse (9/5): Para repetir! - Habitación muy correcta. Espaciosa. Baño amplio. Camas super comodas. Muy limpio. Ubicacion muy centrica. Hemos ido andando a todos sitios pero dispones de la estación de metro a poco mas o menos de 1 minuto. Dejamos equipaje en los "lockers" que disponen y nos facilitó la estancia el dia de la salida. Toallas grandes y suaves!! El agua del baño salía poco caliente para mi gusto pero es algo personal.
- Agnes (9/5): Great location, good price, flexible service - We spent 5 days in a hotel which had a great size room, lovely and friendly staff with a perfect location. Royal palace, San Miquel Mercado, Templo de Debod in 5-15 min walking distance. This is an old building and if you have a louder neighboor you can hear everything. Busy area so there are many turist until about midnight.
- Nerea (8/5): - . .
- Alicia (1/5): -
- Mena (8/5): Bien ubicado! - Ubicación excelente y personal amable.
Almohadas y cama excelentes. Había olor a cloaca/humedad en el baño pero no lo comentamos a la recepción.
