Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Ireland 29th September 2008 Female 18-24 4/5 Comments: Excellent location! Would definitely stay here again. The only problem was that the owners don't have much english, but we managed fine! (This is a 2 star hotel, not a hostel)

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Australia 4th August 2008 Couple 25-30 3/5 Comments: Wifi did not work in the room, had to go out into the reception to use internet. No fridge or communal area. If location is a priority then this is an excellent choice, rooms are also spotlessly cleaned daily. Beds are short, if you are 6ft your feet will hand over the end!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 10th June 2008 Mixed Group 18-24 3/5 Comments: Very clean and basic room. Definitely need to speak at least a little Spanish if you are staying here as the staff spoke zero english. Very small room but very quiet at night and a good location right near the Palacio Real and main streets.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 17th May 2008 Couple 18-24 3/5 Comments: This is a hotel not a hostel. It was great for my use. The location was amazing, one block away from Puerta del Sol and within walking distance to many major sites. The room was great, we had a balcony overlooking a pedestrian shopping street.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 25th May 2008 Couple 25-30 3/5 Comments: I really liked this hostel but I must warn that there is a bit of a language barrier for non-spanish speakers. The owners ONLY speak Spanish so unless you do, it is extremely difficult to communicate. I had read this in other reviews and doubted the statement but it is very true. Otherwise, the hostel is located close to the city center and within walking distance to all of the places we wanted to go. It is VERY clean and it felt pretty safe.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating England 28th May 2008 Male 18-24 4/5 Comments: The hostel was in a perfect location for visiting central bars/cafes and restaurants in Madrid as well as metro links to all Madrid.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating France 12th May 2008 Female 25-30 3/5 Comments: Pity the staff does not speak English but the location is **ideal** and there is a kind night keeper. Nota bene: walls are as thin as cigarette paper...

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 20th April 2008 Female 25-30 3/5 Comments: This is more like a motel than a hostel. The location is as convenient as possible; right in the middle of Centro. It's best if you can speak a little Spanish, as the proprietors were a little hostile until we got to know them. They're suspicious of extra guests (we had a 3-person room, but my cousin who lives in Madrid kept coming over), and told us we were laughing too loud at 5pm.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating England 27th April 2008 Female 31-40 4/5 Comments: The staff were kind. But a lack of speaking English. The location was great. Hostel was very clean, and i would stay here again. Helen and Elaine london

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Scotland 1st April 2008 Male 18-24 3/5 Comments: Was ideally situated in centre of Madrid, right next to the Metro which takes you anywhere and everywhere in madrid. Staff weren't very friendly and there was a clear language barrier. Hotel room for the last three days wasn't cleaned. Other than that it had everything you needed and depsite being on a busy street for nightlife, you couldn't hear anything in your room.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 31st March 2008 Male 18-24 4/5 Comments: The lady at the counter was extremely pleasent and helpful. We had a situation with our arrival and departure dates and they took care of it no problem even though it was a weekend. I would totally reccommend this hostal to anyone. Would def stay here again.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Denmark 16th March 2008 Male 25-30 3/5 Comments: Location is perfect for a vacation in Madrid all the good stuff is just in the neighbourhood. The staff is sweet but there’s only one of the them who speak English and she's only there during the day. You can't really communicate with the staff there isn’t speaking any English.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Vietnam 11th February 2008 Female 31-40 2/5 Comments: The staffs can not use English and the old lady is not friendly.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating China 4th January 2008 Female 25-30 2/5 Comments: I was really sorry that I don't speak their native language of Spanish. However, it is impossible for a traveller to speak all the local languages of the destinations. The attitude of the hotel staff is really outragous. They didn't show any will to communicate with those who don't speak their language.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Netherlands 22nd December 2007 Male 25-30 3/5 Comments: Location is perfected, next to metro stòp Opera. The rooms are clean and the bathroom is small but ok. The reception is open 24 hours, but the personnel does not speak a word of english. They have wireless in the lobby, but the signal is not strong enough to use internet in the room.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Italy 1st December 2007 Couple 25-30 3/5 Comments: Staff is very kind at your arrival, but 10minutes after paying they won't answer to your questions. They won't keep your baggage neither for un hour - try to give a tip.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 12th November 2007 Male 31-40 4/5 Comments: The hostal is located in a excellent location very close where most of the action take place in Madrid. Its located a few blocks from Palacio Real, Puerta de Sol. Staff is very friendly, the lady and the gentelman are very helpfull. Beds were clean, bathroom was very clean but extremely small, i could barely move around. Overall i recomend this hostal for your stay in Madrid.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Australia 11th October 2007 Male 25-30 2/5 Comments: This hostel suits more coupels. It is a very clean hostel close to everything. Does not suit youg people as you dont meet anyone. Best of staying in hostel upstairs to meet other young people.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 23rd September 2007 Mixed Group 18-24 2/5 Comments: Unfortunately there was a misunderstanding with when check in time was. One of the travelers spoke Spanish but is not a native. They misunderstood one of the staff members about when check in time was and another staff member was extremely angry and refused to understand where we were coming from. From there on she was extremely rude to us. My recommendation is that if you do stay in this hostel, DO NOT attempt to check in before 2:30 pm. It is in the best location you could ask for in Madrid and is pretty clean with relatively good security. It is not easy to meet people if that is what you are looking for. Because this hostel was a bit expensive, I think you can find cheaper and be satisfied.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating England 8th September 2007 Female 18-24 3/5 Comments: Need to speak Spanish as the owners dont speak very good english. Its very clean, be aware that the owner comes in when your not in your room to open the window...bit bizarre.....dont get to meet as many people infact didint speak to anyone.....just above the los amigos so can always meet people from that hostal.Good for families i think ......
