“Un hostal correcto pero carísimo”
The hostel is okay, the staff is fine but the price feels outrageous—158 euros for one night for two people. The price is too high.

The location. I liked everything.

The location is strategic, on Gran Via, next to a 24‑hour Carrefour, a fantastic café, and the free Line 001 bus that practically stops at the door; the area has many shops, restaurants, cinemas, historic sites, and metro stations. The room is clean, noticeably larger than other European accommodations, quiet, and the shower is good. Two small issues: they use a single large pillow for a couple, literally shared by both, and the air‑conditioning didn’t work one night when it was a bit warmer, even though it was October with mild weather… I don’t know if there’s a seal for using the AC at that time.

The place is an old building fully renovated, the room is very spacious with a private bathroom, the bed is large and comfortable, the building has an elevator and the rooms are on the same floor, the location is ideal and both the bathroom and the room are updated, the shower is big and has a bidet – perfect for a few days, it has everything you need and the staff are very friendly and helped us with everything, highly recommended. The bed was comfortable but not the best, the pillow was firm and there was only one for two people, everything else was flawless.

The spot is great, but the bed feels too hard.
