Excellent the location, the rooms were sufficient for our needs. Nice and clean.
Very well-located for those visiting Madrid as tourists who want to explore its main attractions, or for business travelers needing quick access to office districts. The level of cleanliness is truly impeccable. On a less positive note, the noise from the hallway connecting the rooms is very noticeable from inside the room and can be bothersome.
Good clean rooms
Host was able to help us out with booking. Clean rooms.
Excelente atencion
Excelente trato y muy profesional. La propiedad queda en un sitio muy bueno y céntrico.
Excelente opción de hospedaje, súper céntrico y limpio
Communication was through WhatsApp. There was no front desk but they send you all the info via WhatsApp which was quite convenient. Great place to stay if you just need somewhere to sleep and shower! Great food less than a mile away!
Recomendado!
La habitación es pequeña pero muy limpia, además esta super bien situado el edificio. Fácil acceso! Recomendado!
Excellent property for our stay in Madrid. Their communication was continuous throughout our trip beginning the moment we booked until the last day of our stay. They were helpful in reaching the hotel and check-in was a breeze and convenient. Hotel was serviced on a daily basis and was very quiet. Staff was courteous, warm and friendly. It offers WiFi and a powerful blow dryer. Hotel is located right in the center of Madrid, with numerous coffee shops and eating options. It is a short 12 min walk to the Atocha train station making it easy if visiting another city, approximately 15 min from Lavapies and 10 min from El Retiro Park. Hotel is located in a very safe and walkable area. For those that are taking a flight after check-out, are offered storage lockers at no cost making it convenient to explore the city. Overall, it was an overwhelmingly positive experience. Would unquestionably stay here again when visiting Madrid.
Great locale in central Madrid
I Host You is a great location for visits to the Reina Sofia, Prado, and Thyssen. The hotel itself is very clean but quite spartan. Entry is by digital code and there is no desk presence; all inquires are by WhatsApp. The maids were wonderful. This hotel is a good choice for the location, and while clean it is far from cozy.
The door to the building at times was not locked. It felt unsafe. The room was well done and the bed was comfortable. There is a bit of a moldy smell. It was stuffy.
Ha sido una estancia fantástica, limpieza, localización y servicio excelentes. Un importante 5* al equipo de limpieza, no solo son agradables, cercanas y dispuestas, sino maravillosas profesionales. Solo puedo recomendar este alojamiento, yo seguro volveré.
Great place for a short stay
Amazing property perfect location close to the metro and many popular attractions. Definitely recommend. Staff is friendly and very helpful. Great security system in place. Definitely would stay again.
Great location
Quiet escape in Madrid Centro
I loved staying here, would return in a heartbeat. Close to Plaza Santa Ana, the art museums, restaurants, jazz, everything. Yet, quiet and excellent sleeping conditions. Staff were kind and other guests respectful of the quiet. Even though I was near the elevator and front door, I was never disturbed. Thank you so very much for a beautiful, relaxing visit to Madrid. Muchas gracias!
I gem of a hotel in a lively area of Madrid. We were very pleased with the accommodation and the area. The clean well decorated rooms, comfortable beds, and spotless bathrooms with great showers made our brief stay perfect. There are lots of dining and entertainment options within a few blocks. We would definitely stay here again!
Muy buen lugar, muy céntrico, de fácil acceso y limpio
Loved the place, tiny but very well maintained and organized. Only drawback right now is the construction around the area, but other than that all’s good.
Really nice place, just used it to crash at night!
The property is well located and clean
Amazing
The staff was awesome Very clean and tidy Close to everything in the center Easy to get to the metro Balcony was a window you could open and look out
Was just great! No complaints. Perfect for my needs as we were there for the art museums and it couldn't have been located any better. A real find! Would recommend it to anyone except families with children.
Buena ubicación, la limpieza, y servicio muy bueno, resalto la disposición y servicio de Javier el Host, gracias y hasta una nueva oportunidad
The place lacks of visible signs for the pedestrian so you can easily confuse the entrance
Very good stay
Very good place to stay in the center of Madrid, especially for a short time. Quiet, close to main attractions, restaurants, etc. Would stay again.
Madrid, Hispanidad
It turned out our returning flight from Madrid coincided with a big festival and we were limited to a stay at a hostel. It was very small, but not bad, had a fully enclosed shower at least. The area is convenient, short walk to Plaza del Sol.
Great location near Prado and Retiro
Location is excellent for this hostal. Super close to the Prado Museum and Retiro Park, it's perfect for sightseeing. I didn't know what a hostal was until I stayed here. Heads up, though - "hostal" basically means a smaller, no-frills hotel. I had no idea before staying here! Check-in was a tad confusing for me as there was no front desk person. When I messaged through the hotels.com app, the response was super fast. For the price, you can't beat it. The room was clean and decent, overall a great value.
Central, close to obtaining city buses or Hop-on-hop-off buses. Good restaurant options nearby. Very clean and quiet.
No personnel present to orient you. But they did send you information the day before which included codes for electronic check in.
Just what I needed - great bed & shower. It was so quiet, it was hard to believe I was so close to so much. I chose this location because of the easy walk to all the museums I wanted to visit. It was a bit hard to find as I expected a bigger sign than a small plaque on the side of the building. That was the only hiccup and not worth taking a star off.
Buena ubicacion
perfectly cleaned, excellent location.
Place is very central, walkable. Staff is very friendly, and courteous. Room was very clean and the view was super nice.room#3
Excellent place for fast tourists
Very good hostile
Comfortable bed. Very clean and friendly staff. In the middle of everything. Very walkable and reasonable in price.
I love the people, cleaning and location
Wow i feel i have been over paying at other hotels just to sleep. Gracias for a great, comfortable and safe stay as i traveled alone.
A very lovable stay. The hostal is on the six floor of a building by the Plaza de las Cortes. You can actually get a solid location using the googlemap. Most of the city monuments are within 20 minutes walk. The host received me earlier than check In time and had the room available and ready. The city is safe-walk with many Tapas stores to enjoy eating. Great stay very recommendable.
Buen precio, muy limpio, buena atención y disponibilidad.
Madrid on a budget
I Host You provided an economical and comfortable stay during our 4 nights in Madrid. At first I was wary of being somewhere without a front desk, but the organizer was very responsive on What's App and able to solve any concerns we had. The room was on the 6th floor of a building that was under construction. We took an elevator to 6 and then went through another locked door. There were approximately 15 rooms available and we never saw anyone else during our stay. The room itself was small but very comfortable with a modern bathroom and junior fridge which was amazing. We didn't have any view to speak of but it was also very quiet which we liked. The AC was powerful and bed very comfortable. There wasn't anything fancy about the place but since we were out for the majority of the day it suited us just fine. The price could not be beat for such an amazing location in the the center of Madrid.
I liked that they have a decent size fridge inside the room, with complementary water, also has a coffee machine and tea free of charge. I asked for a blanket to be changed and they did with a smile and the best kindness, I asked to switch off the stand by from the TV as at night affects my son to fall asleep, and again the young man did without problems and the best attitude. The cleaners are so lovely and helpful too! The room was sparkling clean and was such a great feeling to come back and rest. I highly recommend this hostal. The only cons (which is out of their control) is that there are work roads right in front of the hotel, so no access with taxi if you are coming with lots of luggage like me, also seems that the building is going through some works and the entrance does not give the best feeling.
Very clean and centrally located. Easily accessible.

Best location
Surprisingly wonderful
A great location. A little difficult to get signed in but once connected it was a great place. We had a wheelchair-accessible room. It was a tight fit.
Great location, clean and well organized room, nice staff
Very nice accommodations
Clean and close to the center.
Located near shopping and buses. Easy access to train and city center. The amenities were as listed with bed and bathroom no other seating in small room which worked for us as we were gone all day and went out in the evenings. Clean and had daily housekeeping which was very good.
All is good but hardly to find and get for check in because no receptionist
Its a great place to stay, near to el Prado and is in the Center of the city.
Very centric to most popular and historic places in madrid
Just what we were looking for.
Currently there is extensive roadwork outside this location. Traffic is diverted which created some confusion in locating the property. Overall very nice property, clean, updated.
Short Break in Madrid
We read other people’s reviews and was anxious about check in as other people had problems. We waited 24 hrs before and still no email so we started chasing them at 7 pm the night before. They sent an email saying the were sending the link but they did not send it to my email but to hotels .com an unmanned site they forwarded it to us 1.30 later but it was just a photo and the link did not work but we did get the first and second codes so that was something. The rest of the evening we sent at least three emails so first thing the next day we rang them as I was not leaving until we got the third code . They sent a link to what’s app worked really well we sent photos of passports so check in complete. You need to be on this and not let it go until you get the three codes. Location was amazing but the picture is opposite the building you are staying in the hostel is on the 6 floor turn right as you come out of lift. They won’t give you the room number until the rooms are cleaned so around about 1.30 pm then you get your third code. Don’t think I would want todo this kind of room again. Madrid is amazing and we had an amazing time.
Took me like 2 hours to check in bc I had no instructions on how to enter room. Room was tiny and hot as hell. Couldn’t control the AC…panel was like from the 60s. Was woken up by noisy cleaning staff. Basically had to tell them to shut up. Never again.
The Room and staff were really nice. The only difficulty that we had is that we didn't realize that it required online check in as it is not a regular hotel. Is within a Building on the 6th floor. But once we called the number on the email received we could find the way in! The room and view was Excellent!
Great location. Everything is walkable. Easy check-in, everything was electronic or through email.
It was in a good location, very easy to find, and very clean.
Nice location
It’s a little difficult to find but the rooms are small but lovely.
Perfect!
Spent 2 nights in a lovely Deluxe room. Extremely clean with the most comfortable bed ever. A great view of beautiful buildings opposite. Check in to room was easy (just make sure you check emails/messages) and correspondence was really quick. Location is fantastic - 10 mins walk to Sol square to the right. 10 mins to the Prado to the left. Literally next to the main entrance is a lovely place for breakfast and 100 montaditos (2doors away) is perfect for cheap cold beers and mini sandwiches. 100% would recommend this property.

Tough to find, but good once you're there!
This was difficult to locate. (The degree symbol in the address meant floor of building...) but once we found it, it was a great place to stay. Love the convenience of codes and no key. Good location. Noise insulation between rooms isn't strong so if you are a light sleeper, or that would bother you, .. maybe not great but no problem for us.
Lo peor del hotel es que se escucha todo, cada huésped que llega, la gente que alli trabaja, es casi dormir con la puerta abierta. La habitación es ok, no le sobra nada y podria estar mucho mejor, la ubicacion es excelente, y el hotel muy seguro
Greater facilties and better locations.
Everything good.
After a little trouble getting in to the property, it turned out to be a perfect place to stay! It was spotless, comfortable and the location is amazing! Hector responded promptly to our questions--although we never met him.
We got the king room, size was small but perfect for our one night stay. Very clean and we had a great view of the old historic hotel across the street. It’s basic, but price was excellent and next to Barrio de las Letras where there are some excellent, trendy restaurants and shops!
Never got a message about check in, was waiting in front of the door until someone opened it and I saw the number for reception
The place is very very centric, close to almost everything. Staff was really friendly and the room was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed our stay
Not considerate.
Perfect for us!
A great, modern economical place to stay in, convenient to anywhere you want to go!
Host was very communicative when we were having trouble entering building. Was within walking distance of many attractions. Very noisy as we were in room right next to entry door but I can imagine that other rooms are likely much more quiet. Floor was rather dusty, bed was comfortable. Loved the sun shade on the window as it made the room very dark to sleep. Would stay again.
I like so much thanks
Perched in a prime location, this hostel boasts impeccable cleanliness and surprisingly comfortable mattresses, a rarity in Spain's lodging scene. However, the check-in process was marred by a faulty room lock, leading to a frustrating ordeal. Despite this hiccup, with perseverance, we managed to navigate the situation, albeit with some added stress. Overall, the hostel offers a pleasant stay, albeit with room for improvement in their maintenance procedures.
A bit challenging to find parking nearby. Otherwise, the property has a nice location. Within walking distance to Del Prado Museum.
Excelente
El lugar está bien céntrico y acogedor cerca del Parque del Retiro. Consejo, deberían ponerle un rótulo más grande para poder localizar el lugar ya que estuvimos más de 30 minutos dando vueltas tratando de localizar el edificio ya que el que está en las fotos no es el mismo.
Location location location!
Wouldn't stay here again
First of all, this is not a hotel as advertised. It is a hostel. Second, the building that you see as the advertising photo, is actually an office building across the street. This is misleading, when booking. The front of the building is under a lot of street construction, your always forced to walk around the work area which is quite large. Lots of street noises and sirens constantly at night. We were understanding this to be a hotel and we're confused about gaining access, as it has three levels of security. We had been traveling without Internet service, so had no idea that they sent an email with the front door code one day prior. Even if you have that code, you then enter and are supposed to call a manager that speaks no English whatsoever. No phone is provided, so you need international phone service, which we did not have. We were lucky enough to draw the attention of an American staying there. He found another guy who spoke Spanish, and he was able to call and speak to the manager for us. There is a front lobby on the ground floor, but never maned. We watched other people go through this rigorous and frustrating procedure, trying to get settled in. There's a code for front door, another code that gets you into a door on the sixth floor. And a final code that gets you into your room. The room was quite nice and clean. But this hardly makes up for being lied to about the building in the picture and the mind bending process of checking in, and the non English of the staf
Good all
Where are the staff?
Five stars for location, cleanliness and housekeeping. Sadly less for customer service. Didn't realise this is actually an unstaffed hostel; all accessed by emailed key codes that had to be asked for. Signage is poor, missed the main door at first. Lobby is spartan, unwelcoming & unstaffed with no signage at all so had to guess the correct floor! Email with key codes clearly said room 2 but the key code didn't work. Phoned customer service who said it was the code for room 6. Smaller room overlooking a rather grotty light well (room 2 was at the front & nicer)…what happened there? So. Comfortable clean room in excellent location but - it’s unstaffed & we seemed to have had our room swapped.
Realy good location, only 5 mins walk from Prado and easy walk to the centre. Rooms were excellent, super clean and comfortable beds, it had everything you would need for a short city break. We had a little difficulty finding I Host You as it's on the 6th floor of a office block and the hotel sign is not very big. Once in we found using codes to open the doors much easier than carrying keys around. Recommended
La experiencia fue muy mala pues estuve 3 días sin poder deshacer el equipaje porque la habitación tuvo una rotura y eme tuvieron cambiando de habitación dos noches seguidas para al final cambiarme para un hotel
The best
Is in really good location for museums and plazas….
Location is privileged, walking distance from main downtown attractions. The property was pretty clean and comfortable. There was no reception, but host was very responsive via WhatsApp. Overall I would say pretty good value for the price !
Great localisation
Nice stay thé bed was so confortable…. Great localisation ++++++…..
Great value for the price
Great location, managed to drop the bags off early. Room was great and bed was comfortable
Excellent choice. Second time staying and same rate: excellent
Great option, well run, good room, clean, well located.
If you are not rich but like to travel, this is the kind of place that will make you think that you made it and also will make you feel like you are a local. You do not need more than a clean room with a comfortable bed and modern bathroom. Yes, there is no front desk, but in this modern era you do not need it. I recommend you to download the WhatsApp and communicate through it. They are fast responders. The staff is very friendly too. Overall: EXCELLENT experience
The hostel option itself is fine. It is very clean although lacks personality and the original room we were in felt very cramped. It is in an excellent location too and the owner is very helpful when a question was asked. I did have a major issue with a lack of sleep as the doors to the rooms are not sound insulated and you can hear every noise from the corridor and even other rooms. The door locks are electronic as it is keyless and they are not quiet so every time someone enters a room, you can hear the key pads which is very annoying. The owner was helpful in moving to a room at the end of the corridor which did help but the room doors need to be improved in my opinion. It did spoil our trip a bit which was a shame as otherwise the accommodation is very good quality.
Very good location
Excellent!!!
We loved everything about this hostel.Great located,walking distance to all places u must to see.Room excellent, very clean.We highly recommended this place.
Good stay in Madrid
Nice clean room and very good location. Walkable to must see places in Madrid. Would definitely stay if I'm in the area. Details of location could be better but easily figured out.

Checking in was very complicated. Unclear messages and confusing info on how to access the building. The cleaning staff helped us tremendously to clarify the codes and stressful situation. Otherwise, good location. Comfortable room.
