The only thing that I don’t like is the check in time. Nobody is at the property. After 14 hours of flight you want to check in. But nobody is there until 2:00\. So we just waited about 5 hours iand it’s freezing. And one more thing at night there is no hot shower. I already complain about it Still water is cold during the night times ##### Maria Teresa Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jonas May 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great service!

It’s an old building, and it needs refurbishment, but this hotel is good value for money. WiFi works well, and I like very much that they try to be sustainable with water resources. ##### CARLOS Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mintrue Oct 4, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Great location with walking to everything you need.

Staff was helpful and the best sell of this hostel is the location. It's 2 mins walk from Royal palace. 19 mins walking from Pardo muesem and central park. Room balcony opens to main Street and it's buzzing till 12am. Front desk is available from 2pm to 10pm . We stayed here for 3 nights and didn't even once needed to take metro to anywhere. Everything is at walking distance. From airport you need to change 2 metros to get to Sol station and from Sol station it's 10 mins walk to this place. Booking this place saved us lot of time and money we could have spent if staying somewhere else. Worth every penny ##### Bipran Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julie Sep 24, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Excellent little boutique hotel! Girls trip to Madrid. We were instantly pleased with the hotel when we arrived. Room was perfect for the three of us. Clean and roomy. Gabby checked us in, we unloaded and we’re off to explore the city. Location was perfect. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to be in the thick of the action. ##### Julie Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Kenneth Apr 10, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Excellent location for centre of Madrid, short walk to Opera Metro, slightly further to Sol. Loads of cafes and bars to hand, Carrefore within 5 mins. Rooms are basic but functional and the reception is operated part of day. Easy access in and out - only (minor) downside is poor sound proofing between rooms and street. Everything else really positive. ##### Kenneth Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Michael Jul 5, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities I would have rated this hotel 5-stars had it not been for our experience on the first day. This is not an ordinary hotel, which we actually loved. It feels more like you are living in a small apartment in Madrid. It is a great location, very walkable to all major sights downtown and close to metro lines, restaurants and shopping. The room was clean, the AC was cold and it was surprisingly quiet. Everything we wanted. My only complaint was with hotel management. There is only staff there from 2pm-10pm which we knew. On the day we were to check-in our flight from the US arrived early in the morning. Earlier in the week, I messaged the hotel to inquire if there was any opportunity to drop off our bags. They told me that the day before check-in we would be sent an access code to the building which would allow us to drop off our bags early and then we could come back at 2:00 to check-in (BTW, you need an access code to enter the building at anytime of day). That was the last I heard from them. They never sent me an access code and you couldn’t reach anyone by phone. We arrived that morning with our luggage and no instructions at all. I started messaging with them the day before and all the way till check-in at 2:00 with no response. We ended up finding a luggage locker place a half mile away and stored our stuff there so we could go explore. When we finally came back at 2:30, we had to call to get access, our room wasn’t ready, we had to wait till they could let us into our room. ##### Michael Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### HE Dec 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The room is kinda of smelly (probably a smoking room) ##### HE Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### adriana aranda May 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Todo excelente ##### adriana aranda Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mariella May 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Perfect! ##### Mariella Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Maria Oct 2, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Location was great. ##### Maria Stayed 1 night in Sep 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### María Dolores Jun 11, 2023 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities Great location ##### María Dolores Stayed 1 night in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Junming Jun 9, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The room is very clean and nice, even though the hotel is in a very old building. ##### Junming Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [GARDEN HOUSE MADRID](https://www.expedia.ca/Madrid-Hotels-GARDEN-HOUSE-MADRID.h107283201.Hotel-Information) > > [LooP América - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Madrid-Hotels-Hotel-LooP.h74517346.Hotel-Information) > > [Avani Alonso Martinez Madrid Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Madrid-Hotels-NH-Alonso-Martinez.h523297.Hotel-Information) > > [Crowne Plaza Madrid - Centre Retiro by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Madrid-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Madrid-Centre-Retiro-An-IHG-Hotel.h94999583.Hotel-Information) > > [Cabin Rentals British Columbia](https://www.expedia.ca/British-Columbia-Cabins.d11117-aaCabins.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [The Social Hub Madrid 4 star](https://www.expedia.ca/Madrid-Hotels-The-Social-Hub-Madrid-4.h78393913.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Edmonton](https://www.expedia.ca/Edmonton-Hotels.d180002.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Glorieta de Bilbao Madrid Centro](https://www.expedia.ca/Madrid-Hotels-Glorieta-De-Bilbao-Madrid-Centro.h24032630.Hotel-Information) > > [Motels Bonshaw](https://www.expedia.ca/Bonshaw-Motels.d6300802-aaMotels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Slow Suites Luchana](https://www.expedia.ca/Madrid-Hotels-Slow-Suites-Luchana.h12738382.Hotel-Information) > > [Boutique Hotels in Barton Creek](https://www.expedia.ca/Barton-Creek-Austin-Hotels-Boutique-Hotel.0-n553248635975875441-0-tBoutiqueHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Limehome Madrid Calle de Nuñez de Balboa](https://www.expedia.ca/Madrid-Hotels-Limehome-Madrid-Calle-De-Nunez-De-Balboa.h96037564.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Langley Hospital](https://www.expedia.ca/Langley-Hospital-Hotels.0-l6232142-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Melia Madrid Serrano](https://www.expedia.ca/Madrid-Hotels-Melia-Madrid-Serrano.h6734.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Toledo Zoo](https://www.expedia.ca/Toledo-Zoo-Hotels.0-l6087303-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Paquera](https://www.expedia.ca/Paquera-Hotels.d6156456.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [ROBINSON MALDIVES - Adults only - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Funamadua-Hotels-ROBINSON-MALDIVES-All-Inclusive.h3662326.Hotel-Information) > > [ITC Madrid by Soho Boutique](https://www.expedia.ca/Madrid-Hotels-ITC-Madrid-By-Soho-Boutique.h110887539.Hotel-Information) > > [Vertice Roomspace Madrid](https://www.expedia.ca/Madrid-Hotels-VERTICE-ROOMSPACE-MADRID.h6113947.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Calgary](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/178245/flights-from-calgary) > > [Flights from Ottawa (YOW) to Ahmedabad (AMD)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yow/amd/ottawa-to-ahmedabad) > > [Flights from Tuban (DPS) to Richmond (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/dps/yvr/denpasar-to-vancouver) > > [Flights from London (LON-All Airports) to Vancouver, BC (YVR-Vancouver Intl.)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/lon/yvr/london-to-vancouver) > > [Flights from Saskatoon (YXE) to Richmond (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yxe/yvr/saskatoon-to-vancouver) ### Activities ### Packages > [Cabo San Lucas](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations/180032/Cabo-San-Lucas)
