Hostal Comercial, Madrid, Spain

We stayed in a double which was small and very stuffy. The location of the hostel is optimal with all central landmarks within walking distance and a metro connecting you to the rest of the city less than 5 minutes away. However, this hostel isn’t well maintained: leaking pipe in the room, dirty sheets, insects in the room! It might have been just our room but the overall conditions of the hostel are poor. There was 1 restroom and 1 shower (on the opposite side of the floor might I add) per entire floor. The employees were kind and accommodating letting us check in late and leave luggage until night time. Overall I would recommend this hostel if you’re staying for 1 night, no more than that.

It was good enough for the price paid

Great location in the heart of Madrid...literally! Walk to excellent restaurants, bars, shopping, grocery, and public transportation.

Our stay was good, however the room was a bit small. The staff was very nice and very helpfull. Very clean and everything was nearby.

This place is right in the heart of Sol, super close to the Metro station. Great customer service. Check in is on floor 3. A very sweet, English speaking reception lady originally from Phillippines was there to check us in. She was so nice and accommodating, i.e. at first our heat wasn't working, and she and a maintenance guy came to fix it. I couldn't turn on the microwave, and she came to assist. Unfortunately it didn't work during our stay there, however she let us bring the food upstairs to the check in area and heated it for us. Our room was really cute with a big picture of the Taj Mahal on the wall behind the bed, had a very comfortable bed and bathroom with toilet, towels, hot shower. Bathroom is TINY though, so if you're a bigger person, I don't think this is the place for you. My husband is 5'10" and felt very cramped. Also, the toilet water had a weird smell..but we just closed the door when we were in the room and it was fine. There is daily room cleaning offered. The building elevator is also tiny but does the job. TV channels were often out but who cares, you won't be in the room that much! The room had a cute little balcony facing the street which I went out on and enjoyed. This place is a bit more expensive than some other properties in the area but I really enjoyed it and would still recommend. Tip: 2 seconds down the street is a very convenient 24 hour mini-mart where we often stopped to get drinks/snacks after late night partying.
