Adequate accomodation for a short stay

We choose this hostal because it is centrally located and pretty good on the price. What we were ot expecting was having to climb 4 huge flights of stairs to our attic room which was huge but very oldy woldy. Everything worked well the wifi was ok, the bathroom was adequate and the beds comfortable and the sheets clean. The area is very central and bang smack in the Gay Centre of Madrid.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
★☆☆☆☆ Horrible, suffocating attic room – avoid at all costs! This was genuinely one of the worst hostel experiences I’ve ever had. My room was in the attic, with no reachable or openable windows, and it felt like being trapped in an oven. There was no ventilation, just a weak little fan doing absolutely nothing against the sweltering heat. It was impossible to sleep — I actually told the staff, “You can’t sleep here,” and she just smiled knowingly, like she’d heard it all before and didn’t care. This place is a health hazard in summer. If you’re expecting even basic comfort, do not stay here. The attic rooms should not be rented out to anyone, ever. I left exhausted, angry, and sleep-deprived.

Location is very central to transport and attractions in Madrid, and eating places nearby. The lack of air conditioning however is a big negative in a warm city like Madrid.

Hostal Dolcevita was an amazing experience. It was clean, the staff was super responsive, and we had a great view of the city. For the price, it is well worth it. I’d go again in a heartbeat.

Clean and centrally located, everything you could hope for if you’d like a private room and bath, in a clean and secure building. The ancient stairway to the upper floors is charming for visitors to Madrid.

Shower was tiny and the room had a window that looked out into the hall way … but otherwise accommodations were decent, the bed was comfortable and there was plenty of space for me/my stuff. For being a hostel it was actually a pretty good deal for the price/location. I would book here again.
