We picked this hostal because it was very close to the Opera where we were going to see the magnificent Edita Gruberova and because it was cheap and had mostly good reviews on TripAdvisor. My friend and I both had single rooms that were very much alike except they gave me (the woman) a room that was very pink while... More

I have stayed here countless times as a frequent traveller to Madrid and never had a single problem. While I will admit the cliontel and location can be a little loud in the early hours and mid morning it's nothing a pair of cheap ear plugs can't solve - bring some if you are a light sleeper ! Personally i... More

My daughter and I chose the Oriente at the last minute based on reviews here and were very pleased with the location, cleanliness, and safety of this hostel. It is a bit noisy through the walls but overall great for the price. We will be back.

I stayed for 4 Night, the location of the Hostal is in the best place to visit the Historical Madrid...in the Heart of City center, OK it's a Hostal not a Hotel, its basic but very clean, the clean room everyday, rooms are small but the price is very reasonable comparing to location, I really had a great night, and...

I travelled to Madrid on my own for the first time this year and I stayed at the Hostal Oriente for 7 nights from 5 September. I picked this hostal because of all the helpful information I found on Tripadvisor, therefore, here I am to give something back. I agree with all the positive remarks made by "Isenators". The price... More

I stayed at the Oriente from September 14-17, 2012 and literally booked it 2 weeks before leaving based solely on trip advisor reviews. I was travelling on my own (female) and the price was very good. Rooms were very clean and I felt very safe. Are the rooms dated, the bed a little soft, the pillow a little weird, yes,... More

This is the second time I've stayed at the Hostale Oriente... I was originally there for 5 days in November 2011 and liked it enough to return recently. I found the hotel to be an excellent value for the price. On both occasions, I had a double room overlooking the plaza (which I requested). The room was pleasant and scrupulously... More

My family of 3 stayed for 3 nights in a triple room from Sep 13-16, 2012. Decision was based on Tripadvisor reviews, proximity to rental car return office, and couple tour books' representation that a Spanish hostal is not really a hostel, but a hotel with basic services. We were disappointed with this property. It was the worst property in... More

The Hostal Oriente is an old hostel that hasn’t been remodelled recently like the Bergatin or Alhambra Suites for example. The price is however reasonable and the establishment is clean. The interior rooms are tiny, very hot and I wouldn’t recommend them. The exterior rooms that overlook the plaza have small balconies and nice views and are pleasant. The reception... More
