CH La Bañezana

Un buen lugar para una persona, la habitación tiene. Lo básico!

The hostal is in Sol a very vibrant busy part of central Madrid. A very comfy bed, private bathroom and Aircon meant a good night's sleep each day we stayed and represented great value for money. We were round the back so it was very quiet, despite being in a noisy area, unsure if that might be a problem if you're elsewhere in the hostel. We did have to check in elsewhere, which was a bit of a drag as we arrived at 2am due to a delay but otherwise no problems.

Exactly as expected. Very small so I can’t fault that. If you’re not ready for that, find somewhere else. The location is everything! Do be prepared to walk your bags from the check in hotel to here. It’s maybe 50m I would definitely stay again.

Cute spot. Walkable to many spots and a main subway in Sol. Only complaint- no attendant ever on hand and pillows were not comfortable.

Location brilliant, taxis easily found. Beautiful city.

Staff was nice & the room itself was fine for one night (some stains on the bedsheets though..) but it should be said BEFORE booking that you have to check in in another place 5 mins away. Also, the single room is extremely small. I didn’t mind as much because I didn’t have a luggage but it definitely needs to be know by people you can’t open a luggage in that room. Also, it’s EXTREMELY noisy because walls are paper thin. Could hear conversations from the streets and conversations from the corridors as if I was chatting with them.

Lovely place

The central location is perfect for walking to most of the tourist areas.

The room was fine, located centrally, easy to get around, but the bathroom was TINY. The shower stall was so small you could not bend over to shave your legs. In the stall the on/off for water is down near your ankles. When showering have to be careful not to hit or the water turns off, very weird. The bathroom itself was also small. Sitting on the toilet bent over to pick something off the floor and hit my forehead on the sink. When I booked the room (about 2 months before trip) I miscalculated and need to add another night to my stay. When I added the night they charged me the cost of what I originally paid plus another 70 dollars. I think that was too high of an additional charge. Not too many options at that point. Overall ok place to stay. The staff (not located at the site, one street over and down the block) were helpful (translator helps) and the room is centrally located.

I paid for a double room (sleeps 3 according to their site )and they clearly gave me a single that could barely fit me and my single luggage. The sheets were ok but the throw and pillows have seen better days. When I questioned the staff about the room she gaslit me into saying I was giving a double. I’m an architect I know what room sizes are.

The location of the Hostal is amazing. We walked around central Madrid and found that we were always around 5 minutes away from the Hostal. The only downside is that the walls are quite thin. This didn’t bother me too much but it’s probably not ideal if you are a light sleeper - you can basically hear every conversation in the room next door; showers and pipes from toilet flushing can also be heard through the walls. The amenities are basic but if you just looking for a place to sleep at night, then I would recommend as the location is very good.

i liked it a lot! The only downside is the public noise, but the windows do a really good job in noise-cancelling this.

Hostal la Bañezana was the perfect location for a four day stay in Madrid. It had the amenities that we needed (free WiFi, air conditioning, own bathroom, elevator) and the staff was refreshingly personable and helpful. The central location meant that we were surrounded by the best of Madrid, with many main sights within two to three blocks. I will stay here again.

Everything was good, the only thing I did not like was that I had to do check in in another building a few streets down the road, so It was ward to carry all the luggage to another location, check in and then go back the the first location to get to our room

I wouldn’t recommend this property to anyone. The bed is very uncomfortable, the piping in the walls is extremely loud anytime water is used. I don’t think I slept at all.

Nice property and reasonably priced. Bigger room than other more expensive hostels. The only negative thing would be checking in at the sister hotel which is 3 mins away and lugging bags up the street and finding this actually hostel. (Having to find that hostel, go up three floors. Check in and go back down and to the booked hostel etc)

Not much.

Central location. Very good for the price.

Clean room, helpful staff and we were pretty much in the centre of things in the city! Room was quite small but good bathroom and aircon made up for it. Plus to get ready and sleep it was ideal!

Area was not quiet at all. Throughout the nights the streets got loud and we were unable to sleep through the nights.
