Hostal MH Fuencarral

La posizione vince su tutto, anche quando si è stanchi dopo aver camminato ore ed ore per Madrid, la posizione ti salva perché sei vicino alle cose principali ed è in pieno centro dove puoi mangiare ovunque e prendere la metro (Gran Via e Tribunal che ti porta in aeroporto). La struttura è molto discreta, rapporto qualità prezzo buono. C’era TV ed aria condizionata, ascensore e questo è già una cosa molto interessante e che apprezzo. Il personale non è invadente ma è presente, quindi ottimo. Ci ritornerei chiedendo magari letti singoli per stare più spaziosi.

Non è una struttura lussuosa ma il prezzo conveniente ne tiene conto, le camere sono molto piccole (almeno la nostra lo era), il letto matrimoniale è una piazza e mezza italiana, ci si sta giusti giusti se non si è proprio minuti di costituzione ma passabile. Camere poco insonorizzate ma abbiamo dormito comunque bene. Consiglio di migliorare la pulizia che non guasta mai, capita la svista di qualche pelo/capello. Il tubo della doccia perdeva acqua, ma non sono stati grossi problemi.

I really liked the location of this accommodation. It was very central and close to Gran Vía, shops, restaurants, and many places to visit in Madrid. It was easy to walk around and explore the city from here. The room was comfortable for a short stay and overall I had a good experience.

Nothing

I booked this hostel at the very last minute, just one night before travelling from Alicante to Madrid. At first, I couldn’t understand why almost every hotel and apartment was fully booked, but later I found out there was a marathon in the city. After constantly refreshing Booking, this place finally became available, and because of its perfect location, I decided to give it a try even though I had never stayed in a hostel before. I honestly didn’t know what to expect, but this place exceeded all my expectations. The location is absolutely unbeatable, right in the heart of Madrid on the main pedestrian street, making it incredibly easy to explore the city on foot. The hostel was exceptionally clean, which was probably the biggest surprise for me. The balcony was absolutely magical and became one of my favourite parts of the stay. What really made the experience special was the staff. Everyone was genuinely kind, welcoming and helpful from the moment I arrived. This stay completely changed my perception of hostels.

The bed was a little small for me, but I’m a big and tall person, so I don’t think that’s something most guests would notice.

Location! Access was convenient, but guests who need an elevator should ask, as we did not use or ever see one.

A lot of noise at all hours. Front desk was nearby and its phone ringing was loud (try earbuds for staff?). Also street noise was a factor late in evening but not overnight.
