Wife and I stayed here for 3 nights in May to do a walkabout short trip in Madrid. Location wise this was very good for us. 15 minutes walk to the Royal Palace / Plaza de Espana / Temple of Debod in the west and 15 minutes to the Retiro Park in the east. Plenty of restaurants and cafes nearby.... More

I am not a light sleeper. I am from NYC, I can sleep through nearly anything. But this hostel had the thinest walls I have ever encountered. It was honestly ridiculous, I could hear EVERYTHING that happened in the hostel. By the end of a night full of the sounds of back up toilets being fixed, keys jangling, night watchmen... More

This is my 2nd time in this hostal this trip - its a regular spot for me and ideally situated. It is just a few mins walk (max 5) from Gran Via station. Clean as always, very informal. Plenty of places to eat and drink nearby. See my other reviews for more information. Just putting this one here to say... More

I have stayed here 6-7 times over the past 2 years, using it as a base for travels through Spain and elsewhere. My longest stay was almost a month! The staff are delightful, the rooms largish, bright and spotless with bed linen crisp and changed regularly, and the location is fantastically central. My only minor issues are that towels could...

Hi. I came back to this hostal, and stayed a total of 6 nights. Nothing has changed, excellent service, clean, wireless still works. Nice to be remembered too .... Double glazing and AC a real bonus, good nights sleep, no noise. This place is a real find, and so easy to get to everywhere - Gran Via metro is 4... More

On arrival - shown straight to room - small, VERY clean, with television, good internet connections, bathroom (small but clean, functional, halfbath/shower), balcony. The room has heating and A/C. I was... More

It's an honest place that doesn't promise you anything but gives you all you need in a short stay in Madrid. We stayed there for 3 nights. The rooms are very small, with no luxeries but have a complete bathroom and were cleaned every day. It's located in Central Madrid, about 60 mt away from the metro station of Gran... More

We stayed at the Hostal Vázquez de Mella only one night in October 2008, but loved it very much. The two-star hotel is located at central Madrid, which is close to many places of attraction. The double room was basic, with twin beds, a small TV, a basic bathroom, a safe box and balcony. There was no air-con, but it... More
