Hostal Abitum Madrid

It was a basic room with private bath. The street side of the building was under construction so it was difficult to see the sign marking the interest. There are 7 or 8 stairs up to the lobby level where the elevator is located, so you need to carry your luggage up those stairs. The is a set of three keys - one for your room, one into the hostal, and one into the building. To exit the building, you need to push the button to the right of the door. I was pleasantly surprised with the lack of noise from the street. My room faced the street and had a balcony as did the other rooms facing the street - but there were two sets of doors with double glass and also the standard Madrid external metal shutters. Little to no noise comes in from outside - but there was some noise from the apartments above us.

I really liked the location and the private bathroom.Great price. Very comfortable!

This is a perfectly wonderful budget hotel in the heart of the city. It was clean, water was hot, wifi worked well, and the room had a small balcony. Staff was friendly, and the neighborhood is great. Easy access to the metro to all parts of the city, very easy to get to the airport. You can't get better for this price.
