Hostal Montaloya

Stayed 4 nights Friday -Monday.Reception was good.Spoke English(thank you 😀).Helpful before arrival on travel details. The room being quite small and dated was clean. Good wifi.A fridge was provided.Kettle would have been good too.Still coffee shops nearby. Also right by 2 supermarkets for breakfast items. Madrid is the city that never sleeps.Our room was on the first floor at the front of the building.We experienced this full-on.Friday & Saturday nights no sleep at all.Sunday Madrid does sleep,eventually.Monday Madrid starts again. This sleep deprivation is NO fault of the hotel,this is Madrid... The hotel is well located for sightseeing.All within walking distance. We survived with lack of sleep...

The hostel is in a great location, right opposite the Tirso the Molina metro station. Many of Madrid's attractions are walkable from the hostel with a lot of restaurants and supermarkets nearby. The triple room we stayed in was clean, spacious and comfortable. It had a minifridge as well which was very convenient. Did not have many interactions with the staff as we stayed just 1 night but all of them were friendly and spoke good English. Overall highly recommended.

Nice hostal right next to Tirso de Molina metro station and easy walking distance to most of Madrid sights. Puerta del Sol was only 15min away on foot, and Plaza Mayor even less. There is a Lidl supermarket next to the hostal, plus many bars and restaurants too. Staff was kind. Quick check-in and check-out. The place is extremely clean. The single room somewhat small and the windows opens to an inner courtyard with exhaust fumes from a nearby restaurant but apart from that it was a very comfortable stay.

Nice clean Hotel, placed near the center of the city. Very good service, nice friendly staff, clean, nice rooms, good value for the money. But the fact that is in the center, it was a little bit of a downer, I did not sleep very well with all the noise.

First of all, the hostel has a superb location in the central quarter of Madrid. Only 2 minutes to metro Tirso de Molina, and about 7-10 minutes walk to the main attractions of the city, e.g. Plaza Mayor, Puerta del Sol, Gran Via, Prado Museum. Close to the hostel, there are many coffee bars where it is possible to get breakfast. Rooms are located on the 2nd floor. I had the room number 206 and it is one of the best ones (a room full of light and in a blue color, look at the website). The room was big enough comparing to other hostels in Madrid (I was in four other hostels where rooms were very small). The bathroom has been renewed. It was equipped with a hairdryer. In the room, there are two chairs, a wardrobe, TV, and a fridge. The bed was a little bit hard but big enough. I was in October when days were cold. But in the wardrobe, I found the blanket. It was OK to feel warm in the night. The room has a window to the Plaza Tirso de Molina what is its biggest advantage. WiFi works very well. Staff was very friendly and helpful. I needed to print boarding pass and ticket to the Royal Palace. There was no problem to do that. Cleaning service on the request. Concluding, I highly recommend Hostal Montaloya for short as well as longer stay in Madrid.

Positive aspects: Nice hostel, clean sheets, very good small fridge (it froze some tomatoes I left inside it), nice range of tv channels, located REALLY close to Tirso de Molina métro Station and to 2 small supermarkets (one being open 24h). It was handy to be just some meters away from metro station, specially because we did some day trips from Madrid and had to take the train from atocha-renfe station. Alongside that, staff was kind and helpful. Negative aspects: toilet seat was crushed between the shower and the wall (good luck if you are fat), bed could be bigger for an average height couple, pillow could be not so big. Overall this is a great hostel.
