Gay Hostal Puerta Del Sol

Location was what i liked best about Gay Hostal Pueta del Sol Madrid. 1. The hostal felt unsafe. There were signs all over about 24 hour camera survelliance because of robberies. The hostal was on the 4th floor. Had 3 keys to get in. Locks did not work on the front entrance in the building, which was locked at night. 2. Hostal staff spoke only Spanish. Hard for an international traveller ( US). 3. Liked the location, but way to much noise from the street till 5am. 4. No telephone or alarm clock in room for wake up call.

Location Old grandmother's furniture , the smell in the bathroom, damp and cold in the room, terrible breakfast of the cheapest food, windows run into the wall, wet towels, TV and air conditioning in the room didn't work, the Internet is only in the lobby, although declared everywhere. Старая мебель, запах в ванной, сырость и холод в номере, ужасные завтраки из самых дешевых продуктов, окна упираются в стену, сырые полотенца, телевизор и кондиционер в номере не работают, интернет есть только в холле, хотя заявлен везде

The staff were polite and courteous. The hotel is superbly situated on the Puerta del Sol, so open your window, and take in the view of... A construction site. The Puerta del Sol is undergoing major works for an indefinte amount of time. You will definitely not need your alarm clock. The jack-hammers outside will drown it out. Also the rooms are tiny, the beds uncomfortable, and if you are under the illusion that you have a bathroom, think of it more as a bathroom-phone booth. The only thing worth paying for here was the location and what would have been a breathtaking view.

The accomodation was fine for the short break we had. There was a friendly receptionist. It was clean, in a great location and good value for money but I wouldnt want to stay for a long period. There was not much storage space for clothes. the decoration and maintenance was rather neglected. Although we were told that the hotel was safe. There was no actual safe in the rooms and room keys were left on a rack which could be accessed by all the guests.

Location, breakfast, english speaking host. Leaking toilet that couldn't be sat on easily!

location was superb was alittle hard to find as wasnt clearly labeled a hotel
