Pros: good location near sites and Sol Plaza, pretty quiet INNER room, comfortable beds, air conditioning was good Cons: staff non-responsive to email I sent at 9am regarding AC noise; towels were thin and scratchy, building workers noise early in morning, uneven stairs

The room was very clean and good size. We had a triple room with three very confortables twin beds and balcony. The location excellent, right near everything. There were bars and restaurants very close and across the street is there also a wonderful “tablao flamenco”, and walking distance to the “Puerta del sol”. It is an old building, but it is completely renovated, and the bathroom is small, but nice. It is a second floor with no elevator, and the street can be a little noisy, if you try to keep the balcony open, but once we closed the double door it was a big difference, so no problem sleeping there.

Very nice people working at check in at Hotel Lisboa. The cleaner at Hotel Prado was very pleasant and helpful. Our room was overlooking the street which was bright and quiet. Nice place to stay. Beds were perfect.

Great stay, room was spacious and clean

Perfect single room booking. I was visiting Madrid for two nights to attend the NFL match in November ‘25 and wanted a budget room close to the centre and metro stations. Simple no frills room, single bed, TV, toilet and shower. Good location not far from the Sol Metro station. 2nd floor location with key card access. You actually check in a couple of minutes walk away and get given your card, then you’re free to come and go as you please. Through the door from the street and up to the second floor. The room I had was quiet, no noise from outside as it was away from the street. Everything worked perfectly, and suited me fine. I just needed somewhere to sleep and wash. Plenty of bars close by, and food options right near the centre.

Location, location, location!!! This hostel was in the center of the center, within walking distance of all the major attractions and museums. Restaurants and multiple dining options based on budget. Spent weekend in Madrid after traveling from Amsterdam. At midnight on Friday, Saturday and Sunday night felt like it was middle of the day. Streets were crowded and full of life. You have read that the hostel has no elevator and that the wooden stairs took some getting used to, but location made up for that. Room was comfortable and had basic amenities such as shampoo and soap. Towels and house keeping was done daily even though they said no housekeeping. The rooms were different, but standard, clean and quiet. There is no coffee or tea service in rooms, but cafes all around the area. I only took the metro/subway to and from the airport.

It was a good stay. The place was located very well and close to Plaza del Sol and so much shopping and dining. Check in was easy and they are very proactive giving you instructions to check in. I took a star off because beds weren't too comfortable and we had to go up 3 flights or stairs with luggage. We appreciated they cleaned our room even though it was just a 2 night stay.

Perfect in downtown for shopping and restaurants and bars

In the center. Walking distance to all attractions. Clean. The toilet door is glass and does not close properly. You can see person inside. The window look to the wall of an building. It is at third floor and there is no elevator.

Perfect

The check in was at another hotel, then you had to walk a block and up stairs to the right floor and find your room. (The hotel is only on one floor in an apartment block). This would not be ideal if you have lots of luggage. When checking in a copy of a map and/or written address to look on google maps would have been helpful. The people at the desk were helpful and got me to the right place, but did not speak much English to explain directions. The room was small, but had everything I needed, including Wi-fi.

Great place to stay for a visit to the city. Location is really central and plenty of bars, restaurants and shop next door. The room was a decent size and the bathroom and shower were fine. Fresh towels provided and room really clean. I had a room overlooking a courtyard which was really quiet, slept fine. Check in is at another hotel a couple of blocks away and the staircase up to the hostel is fine for anyone in normal shape with a suitcase, no real problem with that. If the room had a fridge it would have been perfect. Really enjoyed it.

it was nice, take note it’s on the 3rd floor walk up

Good location.

Well, it was not good value for money. Up two flights of stairs on wooden steps that were uneven. There was no elevator. There was no hair drier.The room was tiny and the bathroom tinier. The water in the shower was good and hot and powerful. The towels were worn out. Two outstandingly good points: 1. The lady who checked us in was super friendly, efficient, funny and helpful! 2. The location. This is a super fun part of Madrid, surrounded by all kinds of restaurants and not far away from major attractions, like the Prado and La Plaza Mayor.

Nothing fancy, clean, walkable to most areas and close to train station.

Hostal Prado is very well located, staff is friendly, our room was comfortable, water was hot. No complaints!

The property was great and clean! Better than I thought it was going to be. The room was reasonably sized and cleaned every day. It was also quiet and there was no external noise bothering my sleep/stay! However, hotel neighbours can be heard if loud (though mine weren’t bad). My entry card didn’t work at one point but the receptionist fixed it within 2 minutes which is great. The area is convenient to access the rest of the centre and royal palace and other touristy sites. The one reservation some may have about the area is there are a lot of bars / night clubs / ‘xxx girls’ facilities.. but really those are only active very late and don’t bother you. I’d definitely stay here again.

The hostal was good and the location convenient, its walking distance to everything, we went walking everywhere, it was great!!! The room was good but a bit small, we were a family of 3, two adults and a 7yr old and it was a bit difficult since the bathroom was also small and no space to put your things on, other than that it was a great stay!

Nice place to stay
