Hostal Santo Domingo

Terrific location. Clean and secure. Pros: great location in the center of city, reasonable price, friendly staff, across from police station, comfortable bed. Cons: very small room, no desk, shower is complicated with too many options- wear slippers in shower, towels need updating, be ready for some steps

We came from Tallinn, Estonia and stayed here for 4 nights. We enjoyed our stay here. It was good value for money. The room was relatively small but comfortable and rationally furnished. We noticed no traffic noise. The staff was friendly and helpful. The hostal itself is centrally located, less than 10 minutes drive by bus from Plaza de Cibeles where Airport Express stop.

Recommend. Im a 60+ year old and found this, my forst hostel experience to be positive. It was quiet...the staff was super friendly....

Great location, nice little hotel, met all my needs perfectly. Quiet room. And cant be beaten for the price!

For a hostel in the middle of it all in Madrid, it exceeded my expectations. My room was a little dated in its decor, including the halogen heat lamps used for general lighting (please change for LED bulbs). But, the room was clean, the bed was comfortable and the shower had great water pressure. Overall, the building was safe, secure and quiet with great and close access to public transit and very walkable to many tourist hotspot’s.

Very convenient,clean and classic,people very nice and helpful.

Not clean enough: pieces of hair here and there, room was a bit worn down. Nice small bathroom, but awkward hypermodern shower system difficult to operate with too many handles! They could give a bit more soap. Room had an interior window only. Sound isolation was quite good, the bed was comfortable and wide enough. Friendly receptionist and friendly cleaning lady. Very nice. Within the accommodation facility you have to climb awkward narrow stairs. One wrong step and you can fall. This is uncomfortable with a large luggage. The photos show a much nicer image of the place. In reality it's a bit worn-down and not clean enough. This room was around 80 EUR, but is worth less than 40 EUR considering all aspects. Still, it was the best option for me due to the good location near the Callao metro station. If you really need a place to stay in the centre of Madrid and you can spend 80 EUR per night, it is for you. Compared to other similar hostals in the area, yes it is worth. Madrid is very expensive. But considering the value for money - it is not worth.
