Hostal Los Arcos

Good location also good to solo traveler

Spotless room, extremely efficient lady at the front desk, all at your fingertips, come in and go whenever you want, no noise, very well heated, fantastic location for transport and anything you may need, very safe, restaurants and shopping within meters

Cheap and cheerful,a good central location as well

Room was as expected/advertised, turned on room fan and with 5 minutes it never worked again for the rest of our stay. Bed sheets & towels were not changed at all over the duration of our stay. Shower was either incredibly hot or cold no inbetween. But comfortable beds, good location as in the centre of Madrid, lady on desk tried her best to communicate with us as she doesn't speak English. As expected really but nice stay in Madrid.

No lift so no good if you have heavy luggage or health problems. No Kettle etc and bath very very small. Reception is not managed and no English language!

Me quedé una noche. Llegué a las 2, salí a las 11am. Fue una habitación básico, limpio, bien, con una ventiladora que no fue muy fuerte, pero tuvo una brisa y puede abrir la ventana. Tuvo un baño chiquito con todas las expectativas- siempre aprecio el agua caliente. Se puede escuchar la gente del edificio y en el pasillo porque es como es el edificio. Me gustó el techo de madera y que amable era la Sra. que trabaja allá. Este hotel es muy muy céntrico y puede explorar mucho la ciudad!

The place was nice and quite

This Hostal is in the perfect location for the city center. Sol center is a 3 min walk if that, plaza mayor & Mercado San Miguel are also within a 5 minute walk. There’s plenty of shopping, bars, and restaurants around. The hostal host was very very kind, we had a shower with hot water, comfy blankets & it was very clean. The only “bad” thing I would say is that the walls are thin so you do hear people coming & going & can sometimes hear conversation but it was quiet at night and safe. We spent 2 weeks traveling in Spain & began my trip in Madrid at this Hostal & also ended my trip at this Hostal & felt like I got the most of the city because of the location. It’s a good choice!

I liked the location and the receptionist. Other than that, the showerhead squirted everywhere and the drain in the shower was clogged.

Customer Service was great, Magda was friendly and attentive. The building itself is OK but the moment you enter the reception area of the hostal you can smell cigarette smoke. The smell in the rooms can be stronger although there are windows in the room, the smell prevails. I personally had a headache the nights we stayed. My sinuses were congested and my throat was extremely dry.

Ok

Amazing location, and had private bathroom and bedroom. But no hot water for multiple nights.

Excellent location !!! Couple of minutes to most of tourist attractions!

My room lacked a window, which frustrated my body clock, and created a claustrophobic effect

Excellent location and clean room/bathroom.

They messed up our reservation. Of the 3 night stay, we had a teeny-tiny room with a single bed & no A/C offered to us for the first night because they weren't expecting us! I had the reservation in hand to prove that we should have been expected. After an hour of deliberation on their part, they reimbursed us 200 Euros for the first night. They would not allow my husband to sleep on the couch in the front , so he had to be in the same room with me on a little tiny bed . He got no sleep and I got very little. We told them we were leaving the next morning and expected a full refund. They refused . They said it was our decision not to stay there the next two nights when there would be a two-bedroom room available. We would have left the first night, except there was an event in Madrid and nothing was available. I will say, the person that was staffed that night was very apologetic.

Good spot if you don’t want to break the bank and is close to a lot of attractions.

I really like that I was able to get in late night. What I don’t line was that I have to go up stairs because is a old building and doesn’t have an elevator.

Very very basic for the price they charging. Only the location is great.

Muy inseguro y muy caro.
