Will do for a few nights
Positives:
- Great location
- Easy check in and secure
- Got towels changed each day
- Clean
- It had a small kitchen with fridge, microwave, kettle
Negatives:
- The shower holder was faulty
- My room was OK, but it had no windows other than one that opened into the communal area. So no natural light
- My room was right next to the kitchen area so I heard everything every time someone used the kitchen.
- The Wi-Fi kept dropping, every day, so this must be a constant problem
Overall, I wanted somewhere cheap and central and this served its purpose.

Good and excellent location
Apartment was good and location unbeatable...however I woke up early to leave...it was mis winter and cold because heathers where turned off, even water heater! I had to look for it and turn it, waiting a while for it to heat and still only had a half warm shower...not nice when waking up in winter and when leaving for an intercontinental flight!

The property was great with location and cost for three of us who are young travelers without a lot of money. We were hoping to be able to do more cooking in the hostel however there is no stove. Other than that it had exactly what was needed

Good location but they gave us an extremely small room for two people. We have two pieces of luggage, the second one no place to put it. The shower had no place to put the soap. and no place for any toiletries like deodorant or toothbrushes and toothpaste around or above the pedestal washbasin.I certainly will not recommend this hostel.

A room without a view
So booked the basic room. No issues with it being basic. However having said this I was not away I would have no window! The bed was so hard too. I had some friends staying who had suites they had a super soft bed with duvet. I had a sheet. Only one power outlet. The room I had was next to the washing machines so could hear them constantly. There basic and there too basic.

Noisy. And bathroom layout could not be worse.
Staff and location were OK; however, we needed to sleep with earplugs for the 5 nights we were there. Drunks in the street from 2 - 6 AM, yelling and making noise. There are double pane windows on the room; however, they do nothing to reduce street noise. Most were speaking English, some yelling about Texas.
Room had listed amenities; but the flooring is coming apart and uneven, possibly a trip hazard.
The bidet is ACTUALLY only 3" from the toilet, no way to sit squarely on the toilet. They used a misleading image for the Family Studio bathroom on their web site. Also the faucet for the shower stuck out about 8" into 24"x24" shower enclosure.

Great stay in the center of Madrid
Can't say enough good things about this property! Right off the Gran Via (a main thoroughfare in the center of Madrid), convenient to the Metro and buses, restaurants, shopping, and major sites of interest. It is not a fancy place but had everything we needed and great WiFi for the little bit of time we actually spent in the room. But mostly, I can't say enough good things about the people who worked there at reception, Andrea and Adrian! Their willingness to help with information, directions, and their command of English was so helpful to these Americans whose command of Spanish is sorely lacking! Multiple times Andrea's help and information really helped us out but without her kind help and attention to detail, we would not have been able to so seamlessly navigate the Covid testing we needed to do before entry into the US. Adrian helped us with the train schedules and station locations we needed for some day trips we had planned and both absolutely took care to explain everything we needed to know. This is not a fancy place, but safe, clean, comfortable beds and a unique and reasonable set up to stay right in the thick of things! And a washer and dryer to use from 6-10 PM and they provide the detergent (10 Euros to use-well worth it for these carry-on only travelers!) We and our friends had suites with a small kitchen and king size bed. Highly recommend!

Lo unico que no me gusto fue que apesar que dijeron que no daria servicio a la habitacion y tenerla cerrada con llave hubo un hombre que habrio la puerta e invadio mi privacidad. El toco pero no podia distinguir de donde venia el toque. Si dicen que no daran servicio en 3 dias, por favor no entren al apartamento alquilado.

Muy buena ubicacion
Departamento muy bien ubicado, cómodo do, aunque deberían cambiar camas y almohadas muy duras. Y también poner unos sobres de café y té. Lo demás muy bien ,de fácil acceso al edificio y al departamento. Tienen las maletas sin problema si tu vuelo es por la tarde_noche.Recomendable.
Tamaño del cuarto no fue lo que vi en las fotos de expedida, zero parecido, publicidad engañosa, tamaño del cuarto es como de una celda de prisión, no hay ventanas, todo se escucha, aire acondicionado.
se apaga cada 3 mins, las toallas las cambian cada 3 días. No es para dos personas o pareja. Closet es miniatura con 3 ganchos de colgar. Si vienes con maletas grandes estas reduciendo aun más tu movilidad dentro del cuarto. Si sufres de claustrofobia la vas a pasar mal. Lo único que puedo comentar positivo es que la ubicación está super bien cerca de toda la Gran Vía. Personal es amable hasta donde le permite sus reglas. El lugar es seguro.
