The Pearl of Asturias!! I almost hate to write this because I want to have a place to go to when I visit Madrid!! It's a bargain especially if your focus is a cheap, clean place to sleep. The rooms are on the spartan side but are simple and clean. Good neighborhood, right in the heart of Madrid. Probably 150m... More

Haha! Dark, narrow corridors, minuscule capsule rooms, facing a shaft-like backyard, all up some steep stairs in an old Madrid building. This is a far cry from carpeted floors and minibars. BUT you have got all you need; a comfortable bed, a stool and a bathroom with a little tub and a toilet. It´s kept spotlessly clean, everyone is friendly,... More

Well located with a nice nostalgic feel: people should be more appreciative that there still are hotels like this. The staff were extremely helpful.

I stayed here for 2 nights and although the rooms are small, this place is fabulous in terms of location. Plaza Mayor is just a few steps away and I could explore it until late night knowing my room was just around the block. The staff are friendly and courteous and most importantly, they speak English. The place has free... More

We stayed here in March 2004 and remembered the street noise from late-night revelers. Yet the convenience to Plaza Mayor, Puerta del Sol, the Prado, Reina Sofia, shops, restaurants, bars is so perfect that we returned. No elevator. Bring your own washcloth. Use ear plugs. Rooms are clean. Bathrooms are tiny, but en suite, which is nice. A shared shower/toilet/sink... More

Great service! Small rooms but that's not surprising for a hostel. Excellent location. You can come and go 24h a day. The perfect choice for adventurers.

The best part about this hostel is its amazing location - it is literally around the corner from Plaza Mayor, and only a five-to-ten minute walk to Plaza del Sol. Both areas are extremely beautiful and are bustling with cafes, bars and restaurants. There is also a metro stop right in this area. However, to balance out the great location,... More

Simple hostel right in the centre of the city, distance walking from the main attractions of the city. Welcoming staff, nice rooms with safe in the closet, good price. Not good was the fact that we didn't have breakfast included (I actually don't know if they have a breakfast room) and having it in one of the cafes close to... More

We stayed with friends two days in june 2010.The location is perfect-all things worth to see in Madrid are within a walking distance.The staff are very friendly.The rooms are a little bit small-but we did not expect large rooms for this price-bathrooms are o.k.The only thing that disturbed us was the noise all the night -we slept at open windows.
