Great location, very clean, cordial staff. The room was lacking especially the very small bathroom and shower could not bend over to wash my lower body. Bathroom sink tiny and no mats to place outside of shower to prevent water on floor.

The rooms (at least for 3 people) are extremely small, with almost no room for 3 people's luggage, the bathrooms are extremely small and nothing like the photos posted on Expedia. If you have a rental car, I recommend careful coordination for parking. We didn't get one, nor did we get the hotel to help us with the issue of our car's license plate when driving through the center of Madrid, which has limitations and many hotels put it in the city system to exempt payment of the pollution tax. This hostel doesn't help with this issue either.

The property is a few steps away from Puerta del Sol, close to many of Madrid’s main attractions within walking distance, same as Sol’s Metro station. We stayed in two different rooms, they were quite small but clean and confortable. Since it’s in front of a busy street with bars and restaurants, it was a bit noisy to the point we woke up in the middle of the night once.

The hostal is located in old building with horrible odor inside. No ventilation , air conditioner does not work. We got the smallest room possible instead of double room for which we paid $195 for the first night. Concierge promised to give us another room next day, we stayed in that room for 4 days but never been moved to a room we paid for. The bed, pillow and bedding is in poor condition, one small chair. There is no breakfast, no iron, no hair dryer, no minim fridge, not even a lobby to sit in to do some work or have a coffee and meet up) plain just a bed and a bathroom that’s it. The electric outlet gives yellow sparkles when plugged or when the light needs to turn on/off. Overall unpleasant experience. The staff is not that friendly or compassionate. We wouldn’t stay there again. And I won’t recommend to stay there. it’s convenient as a location but not if you have a car. There are many different hostels around- give a try but do not fall for Hostal El Pilar
