The check in was confusing because the listed address was different than the check in location. Instructions posted on the door were written in confusing English but after 10 minutes I grabbed a clue and found the office. Excellent location. There a dozens of food shops and two supermarkets close by. The Cuatro Caminos metro station is less than 5 mins walk and bus stop for #3 Route is about 200m away and will take you to the city center. Be advised there is no elevator and the rooms are several floors above so this property may not be suitable for persons with mobility problems.

This place had lots of people/staff that were very loud throughout the building. Hence the doors and concrete floors echo every noise you hear and walls are paper thin. The bed provides 2 hours of sleep for every 8 hours of rest as it folds you like a hot ham sandwich I would not stay here in the future as there are many other places with comparable rates. The heating of water for showers was great and made it enjoyable for showers and the room in which we stayed had central heating which was great for personal comfort and individualized temperature needs.

Bad review
Our mattress was so sag in the middle. When we lie down, we feel dents in our hip and lower back. So we both have to sleep both side of the mattress. We both feel back pain when we wake up. And they asked us 4 euro for two luggage to place at the reception just for one or two hours cus we want to go out and take a lunch without pulling the luggages. When we check out at the ground floor, we didn't bring the towers as we used to like other hotels and also they didn't mentioned to bring the towers back when we check in, then they told us to go upstairs to the 4th floor and take their towers and give them even though the cleaners are at the third floor. Terrible service. And also double bed rooms are so tiny. Btw brace yourself to climb the stairs if you have many luggages. :*

The receptionist was kind. Our room been on the 4th floor. So many stairs. The bed was terrible, not comfortable. And we heard everything if someone went to shower middle of the night. Or the lady from reception put to the cupboard the clean linen also middle of the night. That was annoying! For short term I think okay. But is depends who is your neighbour…

The hostal is cheap. By why .. First receiptiion staff don't speak English. Yes not a problem for me but maybe for others. Secondly, they are not educated. They are elderly foreigners who often fight about expenses and money. Impossible not to overhear. Next the fan in room goes off when you switch off the light, difficult with summer heat of almost 40c. Next, the room was NOT cleaned one day. The sheets dirty, no bins emptied, no floors cleaned nothing. The toilets have insects running everywhere... DIRTY DIRTY. I have also a skin rash from sleeping there. I left my 4 day stay early, the hotel or Expedia are taking any responsibility and deny my claims. But please Avoid. Pay a little extra and get some good safe place. Your worth it.

We booked a double room, but was being put in a single room for 2. Even the mistake was rectified the next night, no compensation at all. Not recommend if you have heavy luggage, lots of stairs to walk. Very thin wall, you cud hear noise nearby. The room is clean, lots of fast food restaurant nearby, 2-3 minutes from subway.

The hostel is old, but relatively clean. The room needed a fan, because when you opened the windows there was cigarette smoke everywhere outside. Other then that, be prepared to walk about a lot of stairs. Its close to the metro. Also you check in at one place, and stay in another.

Don't expect more than a very basic hostel. Our room was on the top floor (5th in US, 4th in Europe) - no elevator, small cramped stairway - small room with2 very narrow twin beds. Next to shared bathroom (very small), noisy plumbing, shower curtain couldn't do its job so floor was always wet. No counter space next to sink. Location of hostel was very interesting - reminiscent of Times Square in NYC so people watching was very interesting; also, ALL the American fast-food places (McDonalds, Burger King, Pizza Hut, even Tim Hortons (OK, Canadian) etc etc) was in the area. Not close to city center but more interesting and the subway stop was close.

Pros- Hostel in a very good location with lots of shops nearby. Also just a short metro ride away from madrid city centre. Receptionist was friendly and helpful. Cons- Soundproofing of rooms are terrible. Also kept waking up in the middle of the night as room was cold and only had 2 thin layers of sheet as blanket. The heater was turned on but that didnt help much

We chose the Hostel Almansa based on price and location. The price is one of the best in central Madrid and it is in a good area and only about a 2 minute walk to the Cuatro Caminos Metro station with great service to all parts of the city. We were very pleased with our 2-week stay. The rooms are very small but the bed was comfortable and the linens were clean. The shared bathrooms were clean and modern and there were enough of them so that waiting was not an issue. The staff were friendly and helpful. It would be difficult for the budget conscious traveler to do better than this Hostel.
