My Best Stay in Madrid

My best stay in Madrid! The staff is truly incredible – they were so kind and even happily kept my luggage after checkout. The location is just fantastic – right across from the Royal Palace, with all the main attractions nearby. Within 15 minutes you can walk to Gran Vía and Plaza de España. The room design adds a royal touch, making the whole experience feel special. A truly inspiring place to stay!

More days) i will definitely come back

Big, clean room but can be noisy

Staff was very friendl and helpful , room clean BUT please note that the rooms overlooking the Madrid Grand Palace are all above a cafe = can be noisy at night. So avoid if you can’t sleep with noise or wear ear plugs. There are also about 5 steps to lug your luggage to the lift. Having said all that, I would still stay here again as the room was very big and clean and there staff were very helpful. So thank you. Oh , the view towards the Grand Palace was very nice and exactly as advertised !

Rooms facing the Grand Palace can be noisy as above the cafe. The bed is actually a Queen size not a King size bed so a bit squeezy. Also had to lug luggage up 5 steps to get to the lift.

The location of the hostel is very good. It is opposite the Royal Palace. The hostel is relatively cheap and therefore there are drawbacks: no windows to the street - that is the main thing.

It was clean and the staff were friendly.

The location was perfect to walk to every place we wanted to visit. Our host was amazing, and contacted me prior to the visit with helpful information like metro line from the train station, etc. The room was full of character and was so clean and comfortable.
