Having read various reviews of the Hostal, I was a bit apprehensive about noise levels and how basic the facilities might be. I was very pleasantly surprised, then, to find that it is clean and efficiently run, with everything necessary for a short stay. The room was small, with a comfortable bed and an ensuite shower/loo. The room was cleaned... More

great place, very clean! just what we needed, great location. alot of people moan about noise levels however this didnt really bother us and slept well each night.

I was at Hostal HMB for nine nights over Xmas and New Year. I couldn't find anything wrong at all.It was in a residential area so noise was to be expected(it didn't disturb me at all).Although hardly any of the (friendly) staff spoke English ,I made myself understood with my sparse knowledge of Spanish.(Try finding a guest house in London...

At first, I was delighted to have found this chic, well-located, clean and comfy hostal. That all changed when I tried to sleep. The rooms at the front of the hotel are horribly noisy.

Since my first review I have been back to HMB a few times so let's update. The hostel has been enlarged and now encompasses two floors (1st and 2nd). I am happy they enlarged the hostel as it was getting very popular and now have more options to get a room there. The enlargement did cause confusing room numbering: The... More

Hostal HMB is an excellent value, very neat and clean, we had a very friendly and helpful person at the desk, and very cheap! great location and on a groovy little block...

Hotel is located not too far from the metro and is clean, but that is about all the positives of this hotel. Very rude staff (especially the cleaning lady who came into our room to yell at us for letting the door slam when it swung shut. They should get silencers if the staff are so bothered by the noise...
