Madrid Majatalot

Plussat: Our room had a shower but no toilet. Many reviews online talked about horrendous mold inside but we didn't see any. We were on a corner which was bright and airy (but very loud at night). The free breakfast was very simple with toast and jam but it was nice as an option. Room service did up the room each day which was nice.

Miinukset: The shared bathroom was one for many rooms- we had to wait a few times in the morning when everyone is waking up.

Plussat: Perfect location as it is in Grand Via center. Staffs are so helpful and friendly. Beds are so comfortable so that I could take a good sleep

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The kitchen was very organized and nice breakfast.

Miinukset: I didn't like the space of the bedroom, was very small.

Plussat: The staff was super friendly, excellent food and most important the hostel has epicentric location, couldn;t ask for more. Everything was ok, everything was in the range of my expectations

Miinukset: The building of the property was old, so the hallway and the elevator were not in a good condition

Plussat: Located just 1 minute walk from the Calao Subway station in the very center of town, just 4 minutes walk to Plaza del Sol. About 10 minutes walk to La Chueca where bars and restaurants are full every night. The hostel is fully renovated with new furniture. Good elevator. We had a small room with two good single beds. We had a good shower and a tiny sink in the room.

Miinukset: The hostel suffers from a serious problem as it only has 3 toilets and one of them (the closest to bedrooms) is also a shower for rooms without shower and sink. The result is that morning and nights there is a constant line for toilet use what is very inconvenient.

Plussat: Henkilökunta oli ystävällistä.

Miinukset: Liikenteen melu oli valtava kuului huoneeseen todella selvästi. Koko 5 päivää oli todella meluista. Hermot oli kireällä kun ei saanut nukuttua. Sitten wc oli käytävällä ja siinä kohdin oli todella iso vesivaurio lattia lankut oli noussut ylös ja seinä oli ihan märkä.

Plussat: The staff were personable, helpful and friendly.

Miinukset: The sleeping area had lots of dust and cobwebs. It may not have been cleaned recently. The shower was dirty, moldy and water began to gather in the bottom almost immediately when the water turned on.

Plussat: Location was great and also all the hostal was on point

Miinukset: No bad comments about it

Plussat: Clean, very good location and super friendly staff.

Miinukset: The room was very, very small as there was only a small aisle where one person could stand (4-bed dormitory)

Plussat: The common area has air con. It's a nice area to hang out and chill before you go back to your bedroom. Some staff is friendly.

Miinukset: There is no air conditioner in all the rooms. If you don't like to sweat during the night, don't choose this hostel in the summer. It's very hot/stuffy and uncomfortable.

Plussat: Fantastic location very friendly and helpful staff

Miinukset: It said private bathroom or shower.. I never thought toilets did not exist in the rooms!! WC's were shared!! This was a shock

Plussat: The bedroom was very clean.staffs were friendly. Good Location, just walk 1 minute you can go to shopping centre.

Plussat: the location

Plussat: You are in the heart of Madrid! Welcome! It is just great beeing that close to the Gran Via which is basically the soul of Madrid. The rooms were for that price more than adequate and included a great TV!

Miinukset: There is no 24/7 reception but you get a key.

Plussat: It was right in the city center and close to a lot of the main sites.

Miinukset: The side street it sits on is full of prostitutes all day and night. If you want to stay there, just be ready for that.

Plussat: The staff was friendly, spoke english, and the hostal was secure with fingerprint entry for the door.

Plussat: Excellent staff and service. Tidy & clean room. Great location near Puerto del Sol.

Miinukset: Lots of street noise at night time

Miinukset: The room stank of cigarette smoke

Plussat: I could not believe how clean it was .Excellant!

Miinukset: The Approach gives the impression of a dissued place and I found it difficult to find it Should be a larger notice outside in the street.

Plussat: Very clean room, good location, even the shared bathroom is also very nice. The hostal is taken good care of.

Miinukset: The plastic under the sheet is a bit uncomfortable. It's noisy at night, but it's inevitable because of the location.

Plussat: Location was good. Price was good.

Miinukset: They do not speak English. Their location is a little seedy if that bother you. The walls are thin, if you´re a light sleeper it may be a problem.

Plussat: The hotel staff were friendly and the hotel was placed in the center of Madrid. Te rooms were tidy and cleaned daily.

Miinukset: The hotel staf didn't know English and this was a bit difficult as were able to communicate easily. We booked a non-smoking room and we got a smoking room instead. The air-conditioning devices were not taken care of and the circulated air smelled not so nice. Near by the hotel, on the same street there were prostitutes and I don't think it's appropriate for the prestige of the hotel.

Plussat: Location to all major tourist attractions, were a massive plus!

Plussat: Great position in centre of madrid.

Miinukset: Single beds

Plussat: Halpa ja hyvä sijainti. Huone oli jälleen hiljainen sisäpihan huone, koska hostal on viidennessä kerroksessa, ei katumelu häiritse.

Plussat: The location was great (although there were loads of roadworks going on which made it very busy) and the staff on reception were friendly, easily speaking in English when my poor Spanish failed me!

Miinukset: The walls were very thin and someone in a room nearby couldn't work out how to use their key at 5.30 am which woke me up and then kept me up as I heard them bashing around. The room felt dusty, my allergies were up the whole time. There was a clothes press in the room, but in 15 mins still wasn't hot enough to get out a single wrinkle!

Plussat: Andrew was especially helpful and friendly. The location was excellent. Was able to walk to everything.

Miinukset: Small rooms but private bathroom. Thin walls and spotty WiFi.

Plussat: Kolmas kerta täällä. Sijainti ja edullinen hinta ovat olleet valintakriteereinä. Tällä kertaa oli parempi huone omalla parvekkeella, joka oli yhtä iso kuin itse huone.

Miinukset: Huone olisi voinut olla isompi, mutta sehän oli jo tiedossa.

Plussat: We wrote and ordered a room with terace. I called 2 days before and the man sayd yes we would have such a room. But we got a room without a terace. I asked and the receptionist looked för such a room and we he gave it to us. The room with the terace wors nice.

Plussat: Location was awesome, and very clean and friendly staff.

Miinukset: Bathroom small

Plussat: The hotel does not offer breakfast or meals. It's not right especially when you are coming from another clime

Miinukset: The entrance to the hotel need some kind of restructuring and the elevator is too old and the first impression matters. It looks too out dated

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Really small rooms with little beds

Plussat: The location was vert good, beat porta del sol

Plussat: Clean, good place, relatively quite. Easy to go everywhere. Staff has good English. The place looks really good for the money I paid.

Miinukset: Restaurant recommendations by staff weren't good. The cleaning wasn't in depth, yet it was sufficient.

Plussat: Excellent location, friendly and knowledgeable staff and comfortable bed. Great value for money.

Miinukset: Noise from room next door, soundproofing not good. Breakfast variety a little limited. Don't like having to spend a euro every time I open the safe!

Plussat: amazing Location The nice guy at Jose Manuel ?? Not sure, @ check in he put me into a nicer room which was great & the supermarket 2 mins walk for fresh fruit was epic

Miinukset: Lots of street noise at times but it didn’t bother me as I was out most of the time Hotel was very quiet

Plussat: The receptionist was very kind and gave me really good information

Miinukset: Nothing special

Plussat: Exellent area, very central. Friendly and helpful staff.

Plussat: Huone oli siisti ja mukava. Hotelli sijaitsee todella keskeisellä paikalla, mutta oli silti rauhallinen.

Miinukset: Aamiainen oli kohtalainen. Henkilökunta oli epäystävällinen.

Miinukset: It smelled weird

Plussat: It was clean. Very central and funky decor

Miinukset: Nothing really bad

Plussat: Breakfast was not good

Miinukset: Room and toilet small, shampoo and soap insufficent

Plussat: Room very small and found few hairs in my pillow case. The location is very good.

Plussat: The location was excellent and the reception staff were absolutely awesome. Would stay there again.

Miinukset: The cost is a little extreme but then that could be Madrid itself.

Plussat: Nice location, super friendly staff, very comfortable

Plussat: It was nice to know there was a person at the front (nearly) all of the time.

Miinukset: Unfortunately I actually felt unsafe there. The cellotaped on name at the buzzer, it was not clearly marked in the lift which floor to go to (I accidentally knocked on the door upstairs), the room had some sort of drain in the corner which smelt bad at times, I struggled to get the shower to work each time.

Plussat: The location, close to Atocha railway station

Miinukset: This is not a hotel. its an appartment divided in several bedrooms. it looks very old and it is unconfortable... the photos are much better than reallity

Plussat: Location Staff very friendly

Miinukset: Room not very comfortable Shared bathroom not very clean

Plussat: This place is very easy to reach from atocha train station. It's in a great location. Is it hard to see where it is on the street but Google Maps will take you to the correct door. When you arrive it looks like a block of apartments and when we asked someone how to get into they said take a lift to 6th floor the lift is very small and old but does its job there is still a few stairs even with the lift. When we arrived in there we was meet by to lovely members of staff and they was very helpful. They both spoke a good level of English and honestly they are a credit to this place they offered help with all our suitcases. If I was rating the place on customer service it would be 5*

Miinukset: This is where the pleasant bit ends we was showed to our rooms and the windows was wide open we was a family of 4 but had 2 double rooms which was fine and they was next door to each other 1 room had a strong smell of wee the other didnt smell. The rooms are presented well but are old and it looks like something from faulty towers. We left our suitcases and went to get food straight away around 12am as we had been travelling all day again. When we arrived back I told my daughter to get into bed and get some sleep and that's when she said theres a bug on the bed she is only 9 so I checked myself and to my horror the bed was crawling with bugs we stood by the window and rang my husband in the next room and told him he checked his bed and his was exactly the same. The towels are presented nicely on the bed so these were now also unusable we had nowhere else to go we travelled all day by train from almeria and so I told my children to have a lay down on the tiled floor and try and get a few hours I was so horrified us me and my husband sat on the wooden chair provided in the room till 4am when we couldn't take anymore. We all got showers where we wasnt able to dry ourselves as we didn't want to use the towels. Then we all went out on the street in Madrid and stayed out all night to try and find another place. So we walked round Madrid from 5am with a 9 year old and 6 year old and this was still better then staying there honestly I've never experienced this and I've stayed in a lot of places. I paid 60 euros to stay on the streets in Madrid when I went back for the suitcases I had to blast them with 210° heat from my hairdryer to try and prevent anything from coming with us. The staff had changed when I got and the ladys English wasnt very good but she was still helpful I translated bed bugs into Spanish on my fone to tell her and to be honest she didnt looked shocked she just apologised. It needs fumagating

Plussat: Basic rooms (expected), reasonable cleanliness. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Miinukset: Difficult to locate entry and reception, stairs to lift made getting luggage to reception hard.

Plussat: N/A

Miinukset: Crammed rooms, narrow corridors. The noise outside rooms was a big issue.

Plussat: good location and comfortable

Plussat: Location.

Plussat: Henkilökunta ammattitaitoista ja ystävällistä

Plussat: Great location, 15 mins from the Prado, restaurants near by. Great friendly staff, clean room. Love that there's water basin in the room even though shared bathroom is outside.

Miinukset: Had a little trouble communicating in English with reception but they are very helpful once they understand you. Initially had trouble connecting to wifi and told several times that it is my phone issue. But restarting the modem and clearing the cache of the modem help resetting the routing tables and I am fine to connect afterwards.

Plussat: Reception with smiles

Miinukset: All the rest
