The property is a few steps away from Puerta del Sol, close to many of Madrid’s main attractions within walking distance, same as Sol’s Metro station. We stayed in two different rooms, they were quite small but clean and confortable. Since it’s in front of a busy street with bars and restaurants, it was a bit noisy to the point we woke up in the middle of the night once.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hostal is located in old building with horrible odor inside. No ventilation , air conditioner does not work. We got the smallest room possible instead of double room for which we paid $195 for the first night. Concierge promised to give us another room next day, we stayed in that room for 4 days but never been moved to a room we paid for. The bed, pillow and bedding is in poor condition, one small chair. There is no breakfast, no iron, no hair dryer, no minim fridge, not even a lobby to sit in to do some work or have a coffee and meet up) plain just a bed and a bathroom that’s it. The electric outlet gives yellow sparkles when plugged or when the light needs to turn on/off. Overall unpleasant experience. The staff is not that friendly or compassionate. We wouldn’t stay there again. And I won’t recommend to stay there. it’s convenient as a location but not if you have a car. There are many different hostels around- give a try but do not fall for Hostal El Pilar

Great Hotel and Staff booking wasn't good.
Hotel staff were fantastic room was clean and comfortable. Unfortunately when I arrived I was told I only had a double bed which was no good. I expressly requested 2 single beds this was no good so my friend had to find other accommodation and it cost me more money. I'm not happy it wasn't hotel's fault they said they can't guarantee this but you can request. I will seriously be grateful if you can rectify this kind of problem I will not be as confident with hotel.com as before and could look at alternatives kind regards Gordon Faulkner.

Habitación muy pequeña, sin vista, baño muy pequeño. No me gustó que hay que dejar la llave en la recepción. Eso no me da seguridad porque pienso que cualquier persona pudiera acceder a la habitación. En cuanto a conveniencia por ubicación, transportación y lugares para comer está excelente.

I’m not adverse to a smaller room but… the shower stall was barely 2’ square! Getting in and out was a squeeze. Bending over near impossible. If I had been a larger guy there would have been no way to take a shower.
