Very well located with a lot of things to do. Rooms were a bid small for a family of 3 but having the private room with bathroom in a hostal was a plus. Close to metro and walkable areas. AC and tv in the room.

Too expensive for the place.The room needs renovation. Everything in the room is old including the bed covers, the beds were not comfortable at all. The place is very noisy and you can’t sleep, there is no explanation for noise

Neil

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
At no stage did I receive any confirmation of my booking for this property, so I had to book another property for our stay. It ended up being quite expensive as the new booking was at such short notice, plus the fact that I had already paid for Hostal El Pilar. I am home now and not at all happy with the fact that the communication was non existent

This is a very basic hostal in close proximity to the Plaza Mayor and the heart of Madrid. It is quiet, clean, and secure and everything is in good working order. Reception is available 24 hours and the staff is familiar with the area and helpdul. If you require modern and updated lodging, this is not the place for you. If you are looking for an affordable and convenient place in central Madrid, this could be the place for you.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
If your room is up the steps from Checkin to a higher floor they open the elevator if you need for your luggage. Short walk to taxi stand. 24 hour access. Friendly, safe, small rooms and tiny bathrooms but quiet,private, very clean and accommodating if you are looking for an inexpensive hostel right off SOL. A/C works great.
