Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
LOCKED IN!
Where to start? Whole place smelt of old cigarettes. No toilet paper. Power sockets that don't work. And that's the good stuff about this dump! Unhelpful staff told us to leave our room key in our door for checkout. Only problem with that is that the building entrance was locked and we couldn't get out of the building, after 20 mins of knocking on doors we finally got out. But this resulted in us having to taxi instead of train to catch our bus to Sevilla only to miss it and have to buy 2 more tickets. All up this unhelpful specific instruction has set us back €80!

Excellent value for money!
very nice private room with good location. Slightly noisy from the street, but very good location in downtown madrid. Strange smell in the hallways, but nevertheless, very good value for money.

good location, bad smell
The hotel was in a very good area, close to all the hype. The ground floor of the building smelled like sewage which somehow got into the 1st floor (where the hotel is). Bed was un even which made it uncomfortable.

Customer service
You pay for what you get!!. Hotel Location great, and the room was ok for 1 night. The bathroom needs urgent attention, we had to clean the plug hole before using as it was blocked up!!!!. Staff need a customer service course. The checkout system needs reviewing, would have been helpful for staff to have been in the hotel at somepoint during our stay. Checkout by 11am, leave your key in the room and shut hotel door behind you, didnt tell us we had to have the key to get out of front door. On phoning, to be let out, we had a tight travel schedule, we were told they would come over after shower and breakfast!!!!!!!. We paid using cash, they had no change, will give it to you in morning, o still no change, so they made a good tip which they did not deserve. The gentleman was intimidating and rude. Would NOT use it again.

Nice location.Close to all major attractions
Reached there close to midnight. Very pleasant young man at the check in counter. If you are coming from Sabiha Bocken Airport, ask the bus operator for a bus that can drop you off close to the Blue Mosque. The bus operator did not recognize the hotel address and dropped me off at Tahrir square. Had to take a taxi from there to the hotel for an extra 20 Lira. This hostel is close to all major tourist attractions. Do not shop at any store in the grand bazaar or outside without comparing prices and negotiating.

Disliked: Cleanliness, room comfort
right downtown, but what you expect for the price
The rooms were very convenient to the main drags of Madrid, but very simple. We did not get the rooms we booked, but something nearby, which was fine. Sheets not the cleanest, but otherwise fine for the price we paid.

Not The Best
The hotel had a good location, just off the main street Calle Gran Via. However, the staff was extremely rude. There is no formal check in or check out process. Although it says "non smoking", the owners/workers are walking around the hallway smoking all the time. They yell and talk loud at early hours when they are cleaning and wake up all of the guests. The bathroom smelled horrible. Overall, not a great experience.
