The Hotel was in a brilliant location and great value for money. Although a little dated, it had great charm including a delightful covered balcony. The staff were charming and helpful and check-in/check-out easy and convenient. Will happily return if in Madrid again.

The location was excellent and right in the middle of everything. Literally steps away from Plaza Mayor. Staff was friendly and the communication barrier wasn’t too hard to get past. Would definitely stay here again.

The hotel is in a busy district which can be loud sometimes but not too much as long as you close the windows. It is a good walking distance to most attractions which is why i chose this place.

Upon arrival, a clerk said that part of payment was not done despite of inputting my credit card info. at the reservation several weeks ago. He, the clerk, said later that my payment was fine without saying any apology. Poor management on the payment transaction. Plus a shower unit is too small for 6 foot tall guy. Never visit again.

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.

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 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.

Very central to everything!

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

Stayed here one night before flying home.

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.

It's nothing fancy but we were happy with it. Small room but had good closet space. Bathroom was tiny (one person at time) but tub/shower was roomy enough. Beds were comfortable (we had two twins). It was quiet for our stay Tues & Wed. A/C was good and had a ceiling fan. Staff is on duty 24 hours. They were very nice and helpful. The night before we left they arranged to have a cab for us early the next morning to go to the airport. (which is a flat fee of 30 euros) Great location near the Mercado and Plaza Mayor. We went to the Flamenco show right across the street and really enjoyed it.

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.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
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!
