Overall Ratings & Reviews Hostal Fuentesol

The Hostal is very convenient it is near Solnand most of the restaurant ,stores ,metro station , and Gran vía Also across has a Museo del jamón restaurant with cafeteria and Lund-dinner excellent price quality

Location location. Close to everything especially the metro. Our room did not have a window which we didn’t realize when we booked. Your given 3 keys one for the front door then you go up 3 floors in elevator and another key opens that door then you have a key to your room. Staff were friendly and accommodating.

I wont recommend to anybody

The Fuentesol has no basis charging through Expedia as it does, even as a hostal, which in Spain does not mean communal youth hostel. It's a hotel. The single room with private bath I had was leterally postage stamp size; no phone in the event of an emergency; inability to move more than 3 ft. in any direction. Worse, the minimal, frequently absent staff speaks only Spanish. I tried to call in advance of my arrival and when I asked if my interlocutor spoke English or French, I received a curt "No" and was hung up on. When I departed, I asked if they could print out my 1/2 page flight boarding card: Answer: "No. That's not our "obligation" ". Very bad experience all-around. Expedia could do a better job researching with whom they do business.

This hostel is right in the middle of all the hustle and bustle of Madrid. Easy check in / out, extraordinary clean, friendly staff, small refrigerator in the room, safety box, good wi-fi and a tiny balcony.

It was in a great area! It is very lively day and night, with tons of stuff to do right outside the Hostel doors! Great food and bar options open late. Walkable to many of the main tourist sites. Our room was a bit small but very clean and comfortable! Bed was nice. Room had a sink, shower, AC and the shared toilets were always very clean, as well as the rest of the property. Always felt safe walking around here - even very late at night. We enjoyed our stay! The noise outside didn't bother us, as we could not really hear it from our room. If you want something small but comfortable, clean and in a very central/fun location, then this could be a good choice.

It was priced reasonably and it was quiet and clean.

You are in the middle of the city action so do not expect quietness. It could be very noisy at night as well.

Property was in a good area, easy to walk to things. If facing the street a bit noising. The metro was near by.

A great location in the central area, steps away from the Sol train/metro stop. Easy walking to everything. Only Spanish spoken, has elevator. My room, #11, had a hairdryer! Very noisy, normal for a hostel, but bring earplugs. Great WiFi. No central gathering spot. Toilet made for tiny humans

The location of this hostal is superb! We were literally steps away from Puerta del Sol which is extremely connected to anything you’d want to do in Madrid. The room was clean and ordered when we arrived and we had the room cleaned every day. Everything worked in the room. The staff was not the friendliest we’ve met, but they weren’t rude either, just not very engaging. However, we had no issues during our stay and would consider returning if we are ever back to Madrid. Recommended for the price and value you get.

This was a trip wrongly booked. The wrong dates came up and I only noticed 10 seconds after booking. But the hostel refused to amend to the correct dates. Therefore I would have lost all my money. At least I got three days bonus. And I’ve booked somewhere else in Madrid for the correct dates. This has left me annoyed at their intransigence and will not book with them on future trips.

La propiedad no esta bien insonorizada y se oye toda conversacion de otras habitaciones y el ruido de la calle.

Centro

Clean and functional. Great value and excellent position right at the heart of bars and restaurants. My only niggle is that I travel to Madrid quite often and have recently started to used this hostel but when I booked for my next trip in Feb 24 I put the wrong dates in and although Hotels.com reached out to them within a few minutes of my mistake they would not allow me to rebook for the correct dates without loosing all my money and re booking. Hence my low score and I will not be going back as they have lost my loyalty. (Without their unreasonable stance it would have been 10* to be fair.)

Very well located for Sol metro station and restaurants in the centre of Madrid however the AC didn't work in one of our rooms and leaked all over us in the second room we had. Also, the owners don't speak a word of English and the rooms are pretty small.

Place Is in a good spot, close to puerta del sol A lot a place to go on walkable distance

Friendly employees

Great stay at Hostel Fuentensol! The hosts were great, very welcoming and friendly even though we did not speak much Spanish. Location is fantastic, close to everything and very easy to enter the property. Very clean. Would definitely stay here again for a few days in Madrid

The front door man was a bit grumpy but probably because I didn’t speak any Spanish. The keys were a bit confusing but everything else was awesome
