Very nice welcome from staff. Only issues was no kettle (but there was a coffee machine in reception) and the walls were very thin.
Spotless room, extremely efficient lady at the front desk, all at your fingertips, come in and go whenever you want, no noise, very well heated, fantastic location for transport and anything you may need, very safe, restaurants and shopping within meters
Very very basic for the price they charging. Only the location is great.

Room was as expected/advertised, turned on room fan and with 5 minutes it never worked again for the rest of our stay. Bed sheets & towels were not changed at all over the duration of our stay. Shower was either incredibly hot or cold no inbetween. But comfortable beds, good location as in the centre of Madrid, lady on desk tried her best to communicate with us as she doesn't speak English. As expected really but nice stay in Madrid.
This Hostal is in the perfect location for the city center. Sol center is a 3 min walk if that, plaza mayor & Mercado San Miguel are also within a 5 minute walk. There’s plenty of shopping, bars, and restaurants around. The hostal host was very very kind, we had a shower with hot water, comfy blankets & it was very clean. The only “bad” thing I would say is that the walls are thin so you do hear people coming & going & can sometimes hear conversation but it was quiet at night and safe. We spent 2 weeks traveling in Spain & began my trip in Madrid at this Hostal & also ended my trip at this Hostal & felt like I got the most of the city because of the location. It’s a good choice!

Ok, if you don't mind the smell of cigars!
Customer Service was great, Magda was friendly and attentive.
The building itself is OK but the moment you enter the reception area of the hostal you can smell cigarette smoke. The smell in the rooms can be stronger although there are windows in the room, the smell prevails. I personally had a headache the nights we stayed. My sinuses were congested and my throat was extremely dry.
No lift so no good if you have heavy luggage or health problems. No Kettle etc and bath very very small. Reception is not managed and no English language!
My room lacked a window, which frustrated my body clock, and created a claustrophobic effect

I really like that I was able to get in late night. What I don’t line was that I have to go up stairs because is a old building and doesn’t have an elevator.
A couple of things I would suggest to improve your customer's experience is to first ensure that the photos of the rooms are accurate. The room I checked in was not the same room in the photo on the website. Second, perhaps put in the exact dimensions of the bed. The bed was too small to fit an adult comfortably. The room was rather claustrophobic, to say the least.
