We stayed here in September in a double jacuzzi room. Loved the funky décor and the bed was very comfy. Bathroom was extremely small but clean and shower was great. Everyone on reception were really friendly and helpful and spoke good English. If you’re a light sleeper this isn’t the place for you though! Walls are paper thin and water system extremely loud. First time we used the jacuzzi a clump of hair came out of the air pumps (eww) so didn’t use it at all after that!! Other than that, excellent location and good value for money. Free wifi in the rooms was an added bonus.

Hostal Santo Domingo is set in the second and third floors of a large old building which also accommodates Hostal del Mar and Hostal Luna and is approached through a forbidding looking doorway either by a large sweeping stairway or a tiny lift. Inside it is a real surprise: modern and stylish with very well appointed if small rooms, but then this is in a prime location in a big city, with high quality decoration and furnishings. Talking with the owner he obviously takes great pride in the place and also in the levels of service. This is backed up by the helpful and very friendly staff who always have a lovely greeting of welcome. It would be hard to beat the place for the price. It is situated on Plaza del Luna just north of Callao metro on Gran Via so could hardly be more conveniently located. The area around is quite bohemian in nature but feels very safe and Plaza del Luna is a great social centre for the local inhabitants to walk, chat, play and exercise their dogs right in front of a local police station. Oh, yes, if you want to have a good value breakfast with the locals then Bar La Prenza on a side street on the way to Callao metro is recommendable.

Don't be concerned with the name "Hostal" if you're not looking for a backpackers spot, this feels like a true hotel. Located in a great area of Madrid, close to Metro, but a quick walk to most parts of town. The rooms are small, but very chic and modern. Comfortable bed, amazing shower, and communal computers if needed.

Overall, highly recommended.

Stylish minimalist décor, rooms are well equipped with air con (essential to sleep during summer), nice shower, hair dryer and LCD TV. Internet connection was fast enough. Clean, clean, clean. Nice and helpful staff. Very close to all attractions in Gran Via, but also inserted in a real neighborhood. Love to come back!
