Unforgettable experience at El Clásico in Madrid
Great location and comfort room with double bed. 5 min to metro Tribunal. A lot of choice of bars and restaurants. Also good view from 4th floor. Recommend for those who are going to Santiago Bernabéu stadium.

I enjoyed my stay
Hostel Gallardo is a simple, clean, comfortable, centrally located two-star property. Before 1 a.m., the hotel area is safe, and key attractions are walking distance. After 1 a.m., I did not feel comfortable walking on the street alone, out of an abundance of caution. The staff is kind and welcoming. The owner offered to hold my luggage at a discount.

Fine for a night
Well located, not much noise. Very clean and tidy. The only minus, air conditioner/heater, bit noisy. So, had to sleep with it switched off, obviously woke early in the morning with cold. At least they could reinforce with additional blankets.

Good location and good price
Location was very good and for what you pay was comfortable and clean. No frills, but it was well priced and has all the basics one needs. My room had a great view as well. The front desk person was very nice and was patient with my bad Spanish (though he spoke English as well). Was a bit hard to find as the door was not open to the lobby and it was tough to figure out as there was not a sign posted on the 4th floor. Now that I know, I would stay again. Close to several metro stops, many restaurants, lots of bars, and not a far walk from a 24 super market. Had a great experience.

Great hostel for the price
Great hostel for the price representing good value. I had to call to say I would note make the 12 midnight check in due to a delayed flight. The reception stayed until I arrived around 12.20 am to check me in - late check in charge of 15 euros.I had a double room for solo use which meant I had plenty of space - a couple may have found it cramped.

Good for one night
This Hostal is on the fourth floor of a very old building. Front desk hours are from 8am to 11pm and staff is very friendly. My room was very small but it was good for one night. It was clean and the A/C wall unit worked well. Must leave it on all night to block the noise from the street. Otherwise, get ready to stay up all night.

Budget value, handy location.
This hostel is value for money. In many other European cities you will think it is expensive but compared to hotel prices in the vicinity it is cheap and it is easy to see why. Room was VERY small and no extras, but did have hot water and a comfortable enough bed. It is also not easy to find being on the 4th floor. However, the better news is there are several decent restaurants at street level and it is literally a couple of minutes walk from Tribunal metro which makes it very easy to get anywhere in the city including the airport. It is not far to the Royal Palace, del Prado, Plaza Mayor and Plaza Sol and many other sights.

Nice hotel close to everything, staff is very helpful Fernando and the manager Oscar are very customer friendly. On my second night an alarm went on at a neighbor's place for almost three hours during the night but I think it's part of the game to have noise if you want to stay near the Center.

The hotel staff was very helpful and pleasant. The location was excellent. The only issue was the hallways of the hotel were quite noisy in the morning. The walls were very thin. But overall, an enjoyable experience.

Hostal Gallardo - cheap and central
I was surprised that it was so central and the quality of this hostel. Gallado is one of the best hostal i have stayed on and if you want to take the metro its 1 min. away. Next time iam in Madrid i am going to stay on Gallardo. They was not so good on English but that rule looks like is for all the Spanish people so it was not a big deal.

Warm and Friendly Hostel
Hostel Gallardo is more than one might expect from an average hostel. The rooms are cozy and clean with amenities like free wifi, hairdryer, safe, and bars of soap. There were also plenty of power outlets that allowed me to charge all my electronics at the same time. My room had a private bathroom and overlooked the church that is across the street. Thankfully the church bells rang just twice in my 3 days there and both time were in the middle of the day so there's no fear of being startled every 15 min. The service is VERY warm and friendly and it is located in a building with a few other hostels on Fuencarral which is very convenient to the Metro (Bilbao/Tribunal), good cheap eats, and the theaters. And for those who just can't leave home without it, there's a tasteful Starbucks a block away. One thing to be aware of is that there are several steps you must climb to get to the elevator so if you have heavy baggage, you may need help getting it up those stairs. One thing I would change would be the ability to pay for the room before arriving.

Hostal Gallardo in Madrid
Hostal is one of the cleaner hostals that I have stayed in in Europe. It was nice to have an attached bathroom and the room was cozy. The Hostal was close to the metro so it was easy to get to from the airport by metro. Location is right by a metro so easy to get to all the big sights from there. The only down side to the hostal is that none of the staff speaks English. Luckily I speak some Spanish, but if you do not speak Spanish, communicating will be very difficult.

Not impressed
The room was extremely small, and a double bed was very small too. The furniture is very old and bad looking. The smell in the room was unpleasant. AC was so loud that we couldn't sleep. The pictures of the rooms on internet looked completely different (much better). This hostel is too expensive for what you get. The only good thing was the hostel staff and the location of the hostel.

A little too basic
Rooms were clean and staff friendly, but they had little or no amenities, room was really too small (we don't need much room, but this was even small by our standards), A/C didn't work, no breakfast offered, and room faced an inner courtyard that echoed, so it was unbelievably noisy. If all you need is a basic clean room to stay in, then this place is fine. Although they should consider charging less for the rooms since the hotel is nothing more than a flophouse.

Great Hostal
The room was clean and with air conditioning which is great because the tempeture of Madrid in Agust is above 88F, The tv didn't have cable and the air channels' reception wasn't very good, it has free WIFI and is kind of near La Puerta del Sol on walking distance, (like 10 minutes) but If you don't want to walk the "Tribunal" Metro station is half block away from the hostal...great service and value for your money

Spend just a little more!!!!
I made the mistake of thinking that a budget hotel can be OK but, if I'm honest, I should have dug a little deeper in my pockets. It is basic with a capital 'B' and, although clean, the furniture had seen better days (about ten years ago, the area is noisy and the street is a bit dingy and rough.Bear in my mind I'm a single bloke and pretty easily pleased so if you're thinking of visiting Madrid (and it's a lovely city)spend a little more and stay in a decent hotel. This hotel is cheap but it's not worth saving twenty quid to stay in such a poor room. If you're taking someone special with you find a nice hotel in the centre. The staff don't speak English either so any problems are a bit difficult to resolve.

Bon emplacement, chambre très très très décevante
Très bon emplacement, mais l'hotel est vétuste et il n'y a aucune isolation phonique, on entend tout ce qui se passe dans le couloir et les chambres voisines, la première chambre qui nous a été donnée sentait très mauvais l'humidité, très petite et il y avait des trous dans les draps, on a dû batailler pour avoir une chambre un peu plus acceptable.
