Enjoyable stay that this friendly hostel, close to Gran Via metro, eating places and 10 mins walk to Plaza Sol
Anthony, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Location is very central to transport and attractions in Madrid, and eating places nearby. The lack of air conditioning however is a big negative in a warm city like Madrid.
Andrew, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Clean and centrally located, everything you could hope for if you’d like a private room and bath, in a clean and secure building. The ancient stairway to the upper floors is charming for visitors to Madrid.
Ben, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hostal is really clean and very quite. The only thing is that if you have heavy luggage is really hard to reach it is on the 4/5 floor without lift.
sandra, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location within the gay neighbourhood; close to all the attractions and to good restaurants. Not a particularily comfortable room though, and on the fourth (4th) floor without elevator, so it’s a walk up.
Clara, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Good base on a budget

Decent stay for the price. If you’re looking for a budget place to stay while visiting Madrid this is a good option. Hostal is up a few flights of stairs so if you have issues with walking or climbing, may not be the place for you. Place is fairly old and the bathroom seems to be a recent addition, but it is a plus having one vs. sharing one in other sections of the hostal. No AC, but the the overhead fan worked and kept us cool in the heat. Walkable to everything. Overall, not the fanciest place but was a good stay to set base for our trip to Madrid.
Josiah, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Nothing special. A beautiful old building but not all that well looked after. A most unfriendly welcome, reckoned we were never booked in there & tried to overcharge. We have to go back to N.Z. in Dec & go through BANK STATEMENTS to prove we had paid & bow much. Are you able to check for us & get the refund please? We have always found Expedia great, but certainly not this time. We found much more accom. 5min walk away at half the price . Certainly would Not recommend it to anyone. Alison Woodcock

Godt område, ligger på 3 Sal og Dårlige Trapper. Meget lille lille Badeværelse, en kraftig person kan ikke sidde på Toilet
Birger, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

O local é muito bem localizado, perto da gran vía e de vários lugares. O hotel fica localizado no terceiro andar. Apesar de simples, é muito confortável e estava muito limpo, só tinha um cheiro um pouco estranho no banheiro, mas de resto tudo maravilhoso. Recomendamos muito. Fizemos a reserva pelo hoteis.com e deu tudo certo, estávamos receosos, mas chegando lá só informamos o nome e apresentamos os documentos que fizeram o check-in, estava tudo quitado. Eles guardam as malas após o check-out por 5 euros.
Matheus, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This was our favorite little hotel/hostel we've stayed in Europe! Ok sized bathroom, comfortable bed, 6th floor up old wooden stairs. But the whole place has a cute, quarky interior. And by far, the cleanest place we've every stayed. The stairs and hallways were mopped every day! Rooms the cleanest, and we had a private bathroom. Great location, so many restaurants in every direction. Highly recommend!!! A+

Bom Hotel, única coisa que não possui elevador e a escada para subir é ruim estão se estiver de malas vai sofrer um pouco.

El hotel está muy bien ubicado; pero hay demasiadas gradas para subir y no hay aire acondicionado

Puede mejorar

El hotel está perfectamente bien ubicado pero el estado del edificio donde se encuentra es muy viejo; además hay que subir muchas gradas sin elevador. No hay aire acondicionado y Madrid en verano era un infierno.
Diana, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

Adequate accomodation for a short stay

We choose this hostal because it is centrally located and pretty good on the price. What we were ot expecting was having to climb 4 huge flights of stairs to our attic room which was huge but very oldy woldy. Everything worked well the wifi was ok, the bathroom was adequate and the beds comfortable and the sheets clean. The area is very central and bang smack in the Gay Centre of Madrid.
Michelle, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Bedroom very tiny, no air condition, no basic or essential supplies for your stay! I just bring a carryon and backpack and it was so exhausted to get up to the 6 floor! No elevator only Stairs and not even a good condition! Walkable, restaurant, stores at very walkable distances!
Jennifer, 2-night trip

Safe, very clean, central, and a good area to stay when in Madrid.
Jessica, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Ubicación muy buena. Lo malo es que hay que subir como cuatro pisos por escalera y la habitación nuestra, que era cuádruple , era como una guardilla y tenía los techos muy bajos. Nos dimos más de un cabezazo. Pero limpia y con aire acondicionado.
maria, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

★☆☆☆☆ Horrible, suffocating attic room – avoid at all costs! This was genuinely one of the worst hostel experiences I’ve ever had. My room was in the attic, with no reachable or openable windows, and it felt like being trapped in an oven. There was no ventilation, just a weak little fan doing absolutely nothing against the sweltering heat. It was impossible to sleep — I actually told the staff, “You can’t sleep here,” and she just smiled knowingly, like she’d heard it all before and didn’t care. This place is a health hazard in summer. If you’re expecting even basic comfort, do not stay here. The attic rooms should not be rented out to anyone, ever. I left exhausted, angry, and sleep-deprived.
Glen, 1-night trip

El hotel y la ahbotación bastante normal. Tiraron ropa que dejé en la habitación y no hay forma de recuperarla.

Hostal Dolcevita was an amazing experience. It was clean, the staff was super responsive, and we had a great view of the city. For the price, it is well worth it. I’d go again in a heartbeat.
