really clean, easy to get to from the airport. not your typical hostel - not ideal for socializing but the air conditioning is great so who cares. the hosts don't speak any english so be prepared. would definitely stay here again. check out http://www.newmadrid-tours.com/ while you're there!

We stayed in Madrid for 3 nights. The hostal was a little bit hard to find since there is no big sign. The staff, Maria was very friendly and helpful. She provided us maps and information for attractions in Madrid without us asking. The room was clean and roomy. The bathroom was very clean as well, but the one we stayed in didn't have a vent, which wasn't a big deal. The location of the hostal was very convenient. We considered it was center of everything else (such as attractions and shopping). The overall experience was great!

This hostal is a lovely family-run place with decent bathrooms and a great location. The rooms are very bright and have lovely balconies over a (somewhat noisy) pedestrian street. We stayed for 5 nights and had a great time!

This place lived up to everything I was expecting... good, clean, comfortable, friendly accommodation in an excellent area of Madrid. We had a delightful room with a little balcony overlooking Fuencarral Street and a small ensuite bathroom.

Having just read the previous reviews by CKcapetown and Alba22, there's little more I can add, except to say that I completely agree with everything said. Plus, the wi-fi internet was complimentary and high speed.

I would definitely stay here again. It's a gem of a place.
