Homestays in Community Of Madrid, Spain

Ok so after reading reviews on here and on booking website it was mixed reviews I was worried and not I booked the room for £49.52 inc breakfast we was only here for one night we got a taxi from the airport to vertice roomspace it cost around €46 u can get a train however we weren’t sure where the train would stop the taxi driver didn’t know where the hotel was and stopped to ask for directions checked in fine receptionist was lovely and helpful u can pay additional for breakfast at €7 each if u didn’t book b&b the room well what can I say it’s basic I had to laugh literally a bed tv wardrobe and a desk air con didn’t work but it was cold anyway but if u come here in the summer u may wanna make sure it works the bathroom was small and the shower well u couldn’t swing a cat!!! I asked for another blanket as we were cold and they brought us one in madrid city centre isn’t far got the train which was €4.40 for x2 adults one way however cause we didn’t know how to use the ticket machine we ended up with a single so had to buy another to get bck u need the C3 line which takes u to sol which is the city centre bare in mind when u buy a ticket it only accepts card not cash but the main stations accept cash literally a 20-30 min train ride overall the hotel is ok for 1 night anymore than that I would choose something else Breakfast was standard the hot food scrambled egg sausages and bacon didn’t look every warm so didn’t touch that the breakfast was ok continental style I’ve had better breakfast else where in all honestly for 1 night it was fine the bed was comfy only thing is another pillow and another blanket and it would have been good Downstairs there is a little break room with vending machines to get food and also microwaves which I thought was a nice little touch

From the moment I booked this hostel there was confusion and stress and I regretted it from the second I booked it. Immediately you get an e-mail stating all these rules, which is fine, except then I got an e-mail asking if I was female as I booked a female dorm room, and if not they would charge me the full amount and cancel my booking within 2 days. A bit worrying when you're travelling around Europe without 24/7 internet service. I made 3 different bookings on 3 different dates, so I got 3 of these e-mails, each time having to confirm I was a female over a period of one week, because the staff clearly don't have a good record-keeping process. Then after all this hassle, I got an e-mail saying if I don't pay for the first night, my future bookings would all be cancelled. I used to work at a hostel so I know the system, and it's clear that they do this a lot, just to get double or even triple the cost for one bed. That's how they make their $$$$$$. So obviously I didn't have a very positive attitude walking into the place, but I thought I'd give it a shot as I have stayed in countless hostels in Europe, and I can honestly say, without bias, that this was one of the worst. The beds are given a blanket but they are not changed after each guest, so be prepared for that. Also be prepared for all sorts of weirdos as this place is cheap and central, and not comfortable for a solo female traveller. This place is obviously going to be booked all the time because of its location, so let the weirdos stay there and stay somewhere where you will be more respected and not treated like a rule-breaker from the second you pay your deposit.

Please Avoid this place. It is cheap but nothing else! I stayed here checked into the receiption which is 24 hours after my working day. The place is near the metro cuatro caminos (a mainly poorer area of Madrid with lots of south american population). The area does have a 24 hour supermarket which was good as the hostal has no food/drink facilities. The room was a very small single bed as I was alone on an education course for my job. The room had a fan and tv and a small table. Once you switch off the light the fan goes off so you cannot sleep with the fan on at night with 39c heat. you cannot leave the window open as its not a safe place. The first moment I checked in, i quickly went outside to get air and get the metro outside. They checked in a drunk african man at 6pm in the evening who was walking up the stairs with a can of beer unable to walk or see anything (their is no lift to the rooms) you need to walk up around 50 stairs to the rooms. They take anyone from the streets if they pay the small charge to stay here. Second day, the two receiptionists or owners were fighting over money from the hotel they were shouting and getting agressive. Its was an uncomfortable situation to see. I left and came back after work for a shower and the room had not been cleaned. They said you didnt put a badge on the door saying clean my room. Couldnt they knock and say something? Very strange way of working? The next day I put the badge clean my room but NO nothing changed. It was an excuse.. Then I went and complained he didnt speak any English and didnt want to know he said the cleaners left and nothing he can do. I pulled off the bedsheets, but the bed protector was badly stained with blood and I also got a skin rash. I left the property 1 day early, it was disgusting. The toilets were not cleaned either and insects were crawling everywhere. This place should be closed down immediately. They dont take security or cleaning seriously, they dont want to know problems only take your money. I explained to Expedia about this place but the hotel denied everything. SHAME!!!

I went there because it was close to the train station, but if I'm staying for a while, I'm very satisfied!! It's close and walkable from the train station. The host is also very friendly. Although it was a dormitory, it was comfortable and the members were nice. I didn't expect much, but it's better than the price! It was a bunk bed and there was an outlet on the second floor so it was comfortable.

The place is very well located. The amenities are adequate and the room was tiny. But that wouldn't have been a problem for us if it wouldn't have been that there were only 4 hangers in a quirky display. Non of this is good when you have big jackets and several layers. I had no place to put my jacket! It has to be on my bed all the time, at night it made a nice extra layer but not the point! I had been in other tiny hotels that have managed much better space for suitcase and coats. We were lucky we only have 2 tiny backpacks, otherwise we would have to choose either the suitcases on the bed or us on the bed. Deco is quirky but not very functional.

Great place to stay. It is very simple, but super clean and comfortable. I was expecting much less for the price I paid. Thank you very much. Also they were available by phone all the time and ready to help.

Sono stata presente un weekend lungo (2 notti) con mia figlia e la stanza era esattamente come da foto e descrizione. Una matrimoniale non molto grande con bagno con il piatto doccia. L'hotel è tutto abbastanza nuovo e ha un mini marketing all'ingresso (non ho idea dei prezzi perché non ne ho usufruito) per potersi organizzare visto che non ha il servizio colazione. C'è anche un microonde. La stanza è piccolina e la sconsiglio per soggiorni lunghi in quanto non c'è nemmeno un armadio ma solo un appendiabiti piccolino. X un weekend va più che bene. Il letto era veramente comodo e abbiamo riposato benissimo. La ns stanza, al 4 e ultimo piano, dava sulla strada e si sentivano le auto passare....poco insonorizzata. Personale al ricevimento molto gentile. Deposito bagagli alla partenza senza problemi. Prezzo camera matrimoniale €75 a notte. L'hotel si trova vicino a 2 fermate della metro 5 verde (quintana è più vicina, el Carmen leggermente più lontana) comodissima per raggiungere il centro.

I had a great experience staying here. Seamless communication & entry process. Perfect little room for a solo traveler - clean, space to lay out your belongings. Everything was clean, shower had good pressure. Would definitely recommend for a simple, clean & affordable option in Madrid. It’s not the most centrally located but easy to access and find transportation.

The sound insulation is poor, but all of Spain can only endure. The window is very close to the room of others. This is also a Spanish characteristic. The shower water overflows outside the toilet. But the front desk service is very good. It is OK to stay for one night.

The location is superbly central and only a 20 minute taxi ride from the airport. It's a little difficult to find on the street, nestled behind a large black iron gate, so make sure you have the address to hand for the driver. We had a room on the third floor and it was nice and clean, with a lovely balcony onto the main street. My main problem was the noise (singing) coming from the many bars outside all throughout the night, it's certainly lively at the weekend. Good job the street is cleaned first thing in the morning! Coffee is included, but no milk. A lovely old fashioned lift gives the place character.

Questo hotel per me merita 4 stelle perché “ci ha salvato la vita”. Partiti con 2 bambini, l’aereo è atterrato con più di due ore di ritardo. Risultato? Arrivati alle 2 di notte all’aeroporto con altri passeggeri i pochi taxi disponibili sono finiti subito. Abbiamo telefonato e ci sono venuti a prende dall’albergo e il giorno dopo ci hanno anche riaccompagnati. Per correttezza dico che la stanza era grande, ma nel seminterrato. Colazione basica ma ripeto, per noi è andata benissimo così!
