Arc House Madrid

Never travelled alone before so I was a little nervous. Had a private room and it was very spacious, clean, and the AC worked great. Street can be a little noisy at night on the weekend but it’s a great location (also, that’s typical for a city). Shared bathrooms on the floor were accessible, if one was taken the other was usually free. They were both clean (but one did run out of soap.) Felt very safe as a young woman. Other occupants were friendly and helped when I struggled with the door (TIP: hold your key card there for like 10 seconds). Overall, had a very enjoyable stay! It was honestly better than the more expensive 2-star I stayed at earlier in my trip. Very worth it for the price. Loved that I could check-out late too. I recommend:)

Location is great! Everything is nearby, a nice ice cream place just a few steps from the door, and plenty of restaurants around. Even though the place is located in a very busy area, the place is very quiet.

Calidad

Muy limpio el lugar , la ubicacion me gusto mucho y la buena recepcion , me gusto mucho ese lugar,es una construcción antigua pero muy bien conservada volveria sin dudarlo

Cleanness safety and great find

Room was dirty shower was shared between 10 rooms and ran out of hot water every day. Staff were terrible difficulty and hard to deal with. I would avoid this hostel is possible. However the location and neighborhood was incredible absolutely loved Madrid and would highly recommend but do not stay here. Laundry machines was broken, kitchen appliances did not work, staff “worked” a few hours a day check in was impossible check out was difficult and they tried to change you extra for everything.

could not check in since there was nobody in the front desk and no contact information. other guests told me they stayed outside all night

Excellent!

DO NOT STAY HERE IF YOU VALUE SLEEP AND PEACE OF MIND!!! The staff was incredibly argumentative and gave multiple misrepresentations and tried to charge me for things that did not exist as possibilities to be charged for. They will blame it on not understanding. I never got more than three hours of sleep here. In addition to the noise from the street below (the room has very poor soundproofing) and the other guests' loud snoring, I also would have to flick away bugs from my bed while I lay awake at night. They do not have ample restroom facilities either. After the men's shower flooded, I was told I had to use the women's shower. Moreover, they shut off the water in the only bathroom, meaning the toilets could not flush and I could not wash my hands. Paying an extra amount to purchase a new hotel and check out early was well worth it for my health and sanity.

Estuve solo unas horas para descansar porque tenia un vuelo en la noche. Buena opcion para guardar las cosas en el centro de Madrid

Nice place

I wrote explaining I was not going to be able to show and please change the Reservation or Canceled they Never got back to me, not even for being polite

Really friendly helpful staff in very convenient location

Very good

The property never allowed me to stay they would not open the door worst experience ever

Noisy and really bad customer/front desk service

Muy buena ubicación, solo deberían tener opciones de habitaciones privadas con baño.

First off there is NOT A/C in the rooms so having 12 people in a room during 30 degree heat was brutal and what added salt to the wound is that the only source of comfort provided was a wool blanket, as if that would be of use. The mattress is about 2 inches thick and you can feel the metal bars press on your spine as you lay down. Whats worse in the metal bars making the bunk bed are so cheap that when the person on the top or bottom bunk so much as readjusts their sleeping position, it shakes the whole bed. I understand hostel aren’t meant to be luxurious by any sort, but I would describe this experience something closer to psychological torture than a place to stay. At about 5am I gave up on trying to sleep and hung out in the common space until things in the area began to open. The couch was more comfortable than the bed. Would have rather slept on that. The staff was friendly and helpful though.

Very bad and unprofessional service

I had to check in late but the staff made it super easy for me and were very friendly and welcoming
