THC Gran Via Hostel

Very nice staff, great location, clean rooms. Walls are quite thin, but the rooms are nicely located around the building so it wasn’t that noisy. There is no lift and you have to walk a few floors up the stairs to the rooms. I didn’t mind, but if you have weak knees/legs, it might be a good idea to ask for a room from the lower floors :)

Hallo, Is there a hair-dryer in the badroom? Or should I take one of my hair-dryer at the holidays? Thank you Hallo, Is there a hair-dryer in the badroom? Or should I take one of my hair-dryer at the holidays?

We spent three nights, one in the third floor (without elevator) facing a quiet courtyard and two in room 201, facing the street. The first night on the third floor was good, very quiet. The room is clean but very small. The bathroom is tiny and the shower is run down, mixture of shower cabinet and plastic shower curtain. The last two nights were a disaster. We were very unlucky to have two girls on the room next door with loud music until 01.00 and up at 08.00 with music again and talking loudly. The walls are very thin and one can hear everything. Also facing the street is not the best...and it was not a weekend ! Other than that, the location is really good (if you don't mind a couple of ladyboys and prostitutes a few meters away from the entrance). One minute to Gran Vía, 5 minutes to Malasaña... The people at the reception were all very friendly to us.

The hostel is nice and central which is great for a city trip with lots of sightseeing and to visit bars and restaurants. I booked a single room with own bathroom. Its small (as expected) with a nice bed. The room has A/C which can be regulated individually. The room is clean. Towels are changed daily (one day I had one with make-up leftovers from someone else which wasn't so cool). The keys have to be left at the reception (there is someone 24/7), you cant take them with you. The person at the reception are very kind and helpful, e.g. with check-in: gave me a map and some tips and showed me the room and how wifi & A/C works (without asking). There is no lift. Reception on first floor, my room was then on third floor. Fine for me ;) The area around the hostel might not be everyones taste with the prostitutes (who ignore you) and sex shops. But if you dont mind this, the area is ok. And you'll find this north Gran Via and on the street as well.

We don't want to recommend this hostal for no one. Service s awfully and it's om a street there is hookers, people selling drogs. The service and comunication with the staff was awful. The pictures of the hostal it's only fake

This is a real little gem tucked away in a funky area close to Sol. It is difficult to find, the rooms (ensuite) are a little small, byt hey, who wants to stay in a hotel room in Madrid! It's within easy walking distance of food, bars and cafes and shops, shops, shops! The staff are super friendly and helpful. There is no elevator so stairs it is. Altogether a pleasant place we have returned to time and time again.

Could not fault Stad Madrid. Rooms were very clean. Close to the centre of Madrid easy walk . The staff were extremely helpful despite limited English and my even more limited Spanish. Would use again for another visit. Thank you for an enjoyable visit

Stayed here as one of our honeymoon stops in Spain. Upon check in we were helped by Cesar and we continued to go to him with any questions we had. Cesar was very insightful and was a lot of help through out our time in Madrid. The area we stayed in was recently renovated so everything was new and clean. We chose the private double room with a bathroom, there was a small television and A/C. Hostel is located in the Chueca neighborhood and walking distance from Gran Via station.

i would call Stad Madrid a good hostel instead of hotel. Its a little bit hard to find - just remember the house number. Rooms big enough for a city break - third level room bathrooms not always have hot water - we needed to change room. The streetside rooms are noisy - especially in the morning when party people are going home. The positive side of the hostel is the location - five minutes from gran via, all the tourist sights are maximum 15 minutes walk away. Great shops and restaurants around. Easy access to Madrid Airport.
