The place is cozy, and the location is unbeatable, a few steps from Gran Via. The staff was very attentive and helpful. They were also accommodating. They allowed me to drop off my luggage early prior to checking in, and then again during check out. Recommendation: Check the internet service, which was spotty at times.

Liked: Cleanliness
Stayed here because plans changed last minute and there wasn’t much available. Great location but the street is seedy (though this isn’t the hotels fault) with some unsavoury people. Also it’s very noisy; you’ll hear everything outside and from the rooms next door. It was hard to sleep. No safe or fridge in the room, nowhere to unpack (just a few hangers), and the advertised balcony was completely unusable as it housed the air conditioning fan. Very clean though and nice staff. Just felt overpriced for what you get.

I really liked everything about this place. It was clean, convenient, the AC worked perfectly, my bed was comfortable, my room was very cozy. The balcony was not that big but I didn't mind as I spent most of the time walking. Great location and the staff was very friendly and helpful.

The property is centrally located, clean, and I loved my terrace. Future visitors, know that there is now an elevator. A previous review stated that there was no elevator, so I kept thinking that I was in the wrong place. Great price and very comfortable bed.

This hotel really exceeded our expectations. We mostly booked it because it is right next to the Gran Via metro stop, but we ended up loving it not only for the convenience, but also the comfort. The room was the perfect size, and it had everything we needed for our stay (although there was no mini fridge, we simply kept some leftovers on the enclosed balcony overnight, which worked well). The staff was very friendly, the bed was comfortable, and there was a water fountain in the hallway to refill our water bottle. I would highly recommend this accommodation!

Good location, attached to a brothel

Location was excellent. The room did not have a refrigerator or a safe. The rest of the facilities were good in this good size room with a balcony. The Hotel is located, attached to, a brothel. There were always two or three prostitutes right outside the front door. They would make eye contact with you but did not make you feel too uncomfortable.

Excellent location, clean and comfortable.

What an excellent gem of a location. Fantastic, comfortable, very clean, and did I say very convenient? Literally a minute away from the metro station and so near tourist and restaurant options. It couldn't be a better overall combination. Simply fantastic. It's weird shaped with an odd entrance from a small alley, but that's just how the area is and I think similar to other places. The hotel itself is on the 3rd floor and each room is sort of it's own shape but that's part of the charm. It's very well implemented, very efficient. Simply a great deal overall. Will stay again without a doubt.

I like the area, it was fairly quiet, close to everything - the metro, gran via is just right there. Everything is walkable. The staff was so friendly. Apparently, I left my stuffs in my room, I called the manager, and she found it. So I came to pick it up few days after that, everything was there. I was thankful for the honesty of the staff there. I recommend this hotel. Thanks!

A bit of Old Madrid.

this is a budget hotel that takes up one floor of a very old building right off the Gran Via/Puerto de sol. Nothing fancy here, but the bed was comfortable and folks were nice. Our room was large, but our windows opened to an air shaft and made us feel shut in. Other rooms have balconies that open to the street, but they are small. If you were ever a backpacker, this place will feel very familiar and homey. Not for anybody looking for upscale. I liked it.
