Excellent for Students

This is a wonderful place to stay. I was in Madrid by myself doing dissertation research, and this is a comfortable, convenient, and affordable location. The rooms have queen size beds and private bathrooms, free wifi, and air conditioning, and the building is within a mile of the major art galleries I was doing research at. It is also just a few blocks from the Retiro Park, which is its own beautiful location, and close to great restaurants and bars. I would highly recommend this place to anyone traveling to Madrid, but especially to graduate students like myself on a budget. Whenever I return to Madrid, I will be booking with them again, and if I travel to others parts of Spain, I will certainly look into any other locations they have.

Only one night.

And it was enough. I was offered a job in Madrid for 2 months, so me and my wife had to find a place to stay and in the meantime we were supposed to stay in a hostal or a hotel for a couple of days only. We initially found this hostal, which is in an excellent position and looks very good, but unfortunately we had a lot of inconvenients. The lady that attended us was very kind and helped us a lot finding what we needed, gave us a wonderful room and then left us, and that's where things started to become terrible. She told us the hostal was basically empty, so she gave us a "good room", which we later find out had only a small window facing the inside of the building. If you're staying in Madrid in July-August you don't want that to happen. We weren't able to sleep at all, drowning in our own sweating. Moreover, we could hear another couple in the nearby room having sex all night long, unveiling another big problem: the walls are basically made of paper. Everyone listens to everyone else. The next day we also managed to find out that the majority of rooms were free (as she said the day before) and had infact a balcony or at least a big window, so we were more than disappointed, considering how warm was our prison-room. And it was not the last thing to happen. We left in the morning, asking the lady if we could leave our luggages until 15. She said it was okay, so we left for a walk and came back at the time we agreed. Nobody answered our calls, and not having any keys we were forced to wait for the lady to wake up from her siesta, like 30 minutes later. We weren't in a rush, but staying in front of a building at 30 and more degrees without knowing what to do wasn't exactly what we wanted or expected. That very night we found an hotel in the historical centre, for the same price (50 euros) and air conditioning. I would never go back there.

Hostal acro iris

Me and a friend had a room each. It Was brilliant. The rooms were well decorated. Also very clean & tidy. Staff were helpful & friendly. I'd definitely stay there again! Shame it was not closer to the centre of Madrid however the underground service made it easy to get around.

Great for the budget traveller!

This is a very acceptable, clean, friendly hostal just a few metro stops or walking distance to the Plaza del Sol. Also a couple blocks from the beautiful Parque de Retiro, which is great for jogging and relaxing. Very quiet, safe neighborhood, so coming home late was no problem! A great value for the budget traveller!
