This hostel is surrounded with lot of restaurants and bars and is quite buzzing. And many tour busses gather people near this place so location wise it worked out well.
But otherwise, the hotel or hostel was a bit rundown. I had no issues with smaller rooms. But the maintenance especially like bathrooms were so dated. The first room given to us was quite smelly (apparently a restaurant kitchen is downstairs as other reviews have noted). So we changed to another room,where the bathroom/toilet broke a few times. The bathroom didn't even have a bath roll holder.
The hostal is conveniently situated, being very close to the Plaza Mayor and numerous good bars and restaurants. Although it is on the second floor, there is a lift. We found the staff welcoming, friendly and helpful; communication was wholly in Spanish. The room and facilities were spotlessly clean, with good air conditioning. The only disadvantage was occasional loud noise from a nearby room.
Great hostal in amazing area close to all the tourist attractions. Friendly reception.
Lots of bars and restaurants close by. Private bathroom facilities although room a little on the small side.
Great value and would definitely stay again.
hope to never stay in this place again. The room just smells like a dumpster either with the open window or the AC running you can get the smell out. The bathroom is extremely small and awkward with mold on the walls. The AC makes a strange bubbling sound. Also, the thermostat is not really working so if you turn on the AC at night, it will keep on cooling their room for the entire night. Not sure who lives upstairs, but they started vacuuming randomly at 1 AM for like 30 minutes . Location is great but the way the room stinks does not justify it. It is just disgusting.
Loved the location since it as very central to everything! Anna was always kind and helpful in so many ways...really appreciated her kindness. It was rather noisy at night with outside deliveries which is not fault of the hotel. The mattress was rather hard so it was difficult to get a good nights sleep. Very clean and charming room...not too small at all. All in all would still stay here again
First time in Madrid and this was a perfectly walkable location close to locals bars and restaurants. We explored a good radius and there was plenty to see, do and buy. I really liked the leather shoe shops and there was one cork shop which are way more common in Portugal.
Check out El Mercado for a fast service but busy and fun food hall, but you also have cheaper grocery options like the Dia stores for fruits and such. Charcuterie is everywhere. The smell of pig is inescapable in some areas, so FYI, but I thought it was fine. You can find 2 euro wine in grocery stores and more expensive options in the shops.
As far as accommodations, La Macarena staff was very polite. Our beds were made every day. There is no fridge. Our room was a two bed turned into a three bed which made for cramped quarters but were were happy with it besides when we tried to cuddle and the beds pushed together were a little gapped.
I would recommend this place! We had a great stay!
We stayed here on a Wednesday. For the price, our room was nice, with a private bathroom, 2 beds, a large window, free wifi, and a tv. Our room was quiet, clean, and the towels were large and fluffy. The room was small but it had a closet and in-room safe (which we did not use). The hotel is on the 2nd floor of the building and you need to press a button marked "la Macarena" next to the outside door to be allowed into the building. You then go up the elevator to the 2nd floor. Everything you need is nearby and walkable. The front desk is open 24 hours. We enjoyed our stay.
Small room but well facilitated. Perfect for a short stay where a bed, toilet and shower are required. Lots of street noise including a very noisy manhole cover overnight, but apart from this the hotel fitted the bill perfectly

Super location and lovely staff. On smaller side and can be fumed from restaurant frying downstairs but considering how much you spend its a viable budget option.
The room and bath were very nice, albeit compact. It could be noisy, however. There is noise from the street. The walls seem thin so cross your fingers for quiet neighbors.
Room was hot, no a/c working. Ceiling fan did the trick. Quiet close to everything food shopping etc. Location second to none. Hard to locate hotel is located on 2nd floor only.
