It's great for backpackers. It's cheap and has only basics. Location is convenient for people who don't mind walking 10 to 15 minutes to public transportation. Plenty of shopping and restaurants nearby. One or 2 desk staff speaks English well enough, but all of them try to communicate.

Si tiene familia no vaya a este lugar. Cómo pueden ofrecer una habitación para niños con baño compartido?? Es una locura! El hotel es un laberinto, huele a cigarillo, hay ruido de los huéspedes toda la noche. El sector tiene mucho comercio pero no es seguro para familias. No pudimos dormir porque un hombre enfermo se internó en el baño…pedí una cortesía de unos minutos para “late check out” y no fue posible. Expedia NO debería ofertar este lugar.

Response from Departamento de recepción on 28 Jul 2023
Estimado Jorge,Sentimos no haber cumplido con sus expectativas.En cuanto a las habitaciones con baño compartido, solamente le informamos de que es lo que usted reservó, ya que también disponemos de habitaciones con baño privado (esto aparece claramente en la descripción del tipo de habitación que está reservando).En cuanto al barrio, desconocemos si han tenido algún tipo de problema en el exterior, pero por suerte nos encontramos en una zona bastante tranquila muy próxima a puntos de interés como el Santiago Bernabeu, Azca y el Paseo de la Castellana por lo que no sabemos a que se puede referir con lo de que no es un barrio seguro para familias.Respecto al late check out, ustedes le preguntaron a la compañera que estaba durante el turno de mañana, sobre la hora a la que debían dejar la habitación. En ningún momento preguntaron por la posibilidad de quedarse en la habitación un tiempo extra, ya que, de haberlo pedido, no hubiésemos tenido problema en dejarles una o dos horas más de manera gratuita (como hacemos con los clientes que lo necesitan, siempre y cuando la disponibilidad lo permita).Reciba un saludo.

Clean, conveniently located and reasonably priced, its only problem are the paper-thin walls, so bring with you your earplugs because you will hear people chatting and enjoying themselves (reasonably priced = many young guests) until 12 am and later!

Willigness to keep luggage upon early arrival. Speak and understand English and friendly staff. Close to public transport, the stadium, shops, restuarants and more. Cheap accommodation however clean, tidy and modern. Free coffee. Highly recommended for travellers who are not bothered about luxury and space. Very central.

Clean and simple budget hostel. No AC which may be a problem in high summer. Other than that the hwole stay was no problems. One concern is that it is not terribly easy to access MAD airport.

Quality/price is great. The room is very basic but clean. The shared bathrooms were pretty dirty, but I guess it depends a lot on the customers politeness and respect of common spaces.

A convenient place to stay in Madrid
I stayed the night before a business trip. The hostal was comfortable and inexpensive. I was not looking for luxury accommodations. The location was very convenient next to the line one Metro Station.

Close the subway. It's about 40-45 minutes from the airport by subway. In the previous stay, I could not get WiFi in the room, but the WiFi station is now fixed and it's good in the room as well.

Beats expectations
For what we paid, we weren't expecting too much from the hotel. However, it was a high standard and we were impressed as soon as we entered our room. Highly recommend if you are coming to Madrid to watch a Real Madrid game, as it is close to Bernabeu stadium

Convenient and affordable.
The room was small but clean, we had reliable WI FI, the Metro Station is half a block away and you are minute away from all the attractions, the TV cable was not available it was a lot of tarot reading infomercials, not way to keep up with the news back home, the staff was friendly, courteous and went out of their way to help us out with our needs, there are a lot of Restaurants and Shops just around the corners, the Estrecho metro station is close by, I would stay there again.

Pretty much what you would expect on the budget side of things. Room was on the small side but clean and functional. The staff were friendly and helpful. Good locality with regard to access to the Metro, about 1hrs walk from the central tourist district.

Good and reasonably priced hostel
The room and the public bathrooms were generally clean. The staff were friendly, and the check-in and check-out processes were very efficient. The hostel is located within 3 minute walk from the nearest metro station, and is about 15 to 20 minutes away from the city centre by metro.

Average
Hostal Falfes was basically an average hostel room but at higher hotel prices. Really the only plus was that it was about 10 minutes walk from the football stadium.

Restful stay in Madrid
We had a difficult time locating the hotel on the GPS. When my husband arrived, 3 men were arguing over their circumstances. The room was very nice, but no elevator and two flights of stairs plus weaving through many hallways to find it. The management was very helpful in getting us to the airport.
