Hotels near Parish of St. Francis de Sales in Madrid

A very comfy sleep in the centre of Madrid-Good mattress and chair to work This hotel is only one star, but the quality is medium/high. I booked a double bed and a private bathroom; the price is around 100 euros, which I think is expensive, but it may be the usual price in Madrid for one star hotels. The location is convenient for Line 1, the blue line and stop ”Estrecho”; L1 stops at Atocha, the high/speed station. The ride is approximately 30 minutes. The personnel are very kind and helpful. I was able to check in early since I needed to work. The room is small, but the bed has a nice size. It is very clean. However, it is difficult to keep up the highest standards since the floor is white and there were some hairs on the floor. I had a very good sleep; The quality of the mattress is excellent, and people are respectful and quiet, even though there are some common areas for guests who share bedrooms or other amenities. The chair in the bedroom is very comfy to work on. I managed to work for eight hours. All the furniture is of high standards, overall. There is complimentary tea and decaf coffee the whole day round. On the bad side, the breakfast was not great. The quality of the products is not good, for example, bread, jam (low-calories), pastries, or juices, which are not fruit natural juices. There are not too many options. The breakfast should start earlier than 8 am, above all for guests who are on business. I do not think guests should wash their dishes, but rinse them and allocate them in the dishwasher since they are using the same sponge, and after COVID-19, this practice should be avoided for further illnesses. The coffee machine provides coffee but is not of such good quality. It does not come hot enough. The quality of the towels is not good. They are old and do not dry properly. I think it is essential to have recycling bins, in particular, since guests are booking to sleep and they cook and prepare their food. The coffee machine does not allow you to reuse your glass, which is a shame as per providing a new glass with a plastic spoon every time you want a coffee. I tried to press the option ”no glass”, but it will not work. It seems that everything goes in the same bin. The shower has low pressure and two taps. It is not easy to reach quick and warm water. The head is not mobile, so girls bring your shower cap. The quality of the shower gel is nice. Very fashionable!!

Please Avoid this place. It is cheap but nothing else! I stayed here checked into the receiption which is 24 hours after my working day. The place is near the metro cuatro caminos (a mainly poorer area of Madrid with lots of south american population). The area does have a 24 hour supermarket which was good as the hostal has no food/drink facilities. The room was a very small single bed as I was alone on an education course for my job. The room had a fan and tv and a small table. Once you switch off the light the fan goes off so you cannot sleep with the fan on at night with 39c heat. you cannot leave the window open as its not a safe place. The first moment I checked in, i quickly went outside to get air and get the metro outside. They checked in a drunk african man at 6pm in the evening who was walking up the stairs with a can of beer unable to walk or see anything (their is no lift to the rooms) you need to walk up around 50 stairs to the rooms. They take anyone from the streets if they pay the small charge to stay here. Second day, the two receiptionists or owners were fighting over money from the hotel they were shouting and getting agressive. Its was an uncomfortable situation to see. I left and came back after work for a shower and the room had not been cleaned. They said you didnt put a badge on the door saying clean my room. Couldnt they knock and say something? Very strange way of working? The next day I put the badge clean my room but NO nothing changed. It was an excuse.. Then I went and complained he didnt speak any English and didnt want to know he said the cleaners left and nothing he can do. I pulled off the bedsheets, but the bed protector was badly stained with blood and I also got a skin rash. I left the property 1 day early, it was disgusting. The toilets were not cleaned either and insects were crawling everywhere. This place should be closed down immediately. They dont take security or cleaning seriously, they dont want to know problems only take your money. I explained to Expedia about this place but the hotel denied everything. SHAME!!!

The location was convenient. The breakfast buffet was perfect, it had a good selection of food, beverage and cereals. The room was clean, cozy and well decorated. The bathroom was confortable and had everything we needed. I asked the reception for a sewing kit and they had it on hand. So I would recommend this hotel.

Muy bono

A good choice for accommodation**** one or two nights and visit Madrid for any event (we use it for games in Bernabéu). The hotel is very comfortable and very comfortable.

The hotel is nice, located between two subway stations, in a good and safe area. Options of restaurants and coffee shops around for dinner or breakfast. Staff very polite. Rooms cleaned daily. I did not buy breakfast in the hotel.

The place looks really shady inside. They only have inflatable beds which are extremely uncomfortable. No lockers, but you can ask the reception to open the warehouse door where everyone stores their suitcases and important stuff and this warehouse is locked at all times.

Hotel is a short walk from the Alvarado metro stop, which is 6 stops from the Gran Via. Fairly affluent, businessy neighbourhood. Hotel staff courteous. Room opened on to a spacious terrace. (Not all rooms have one.) Double bed had one slim pillow each and squeaky springs. Street can be noisy at night. Bathroom did not have a full door, so lack of privacy if you're sharing. Television stopped working after the first day. Heater did not respond to the remote control. The kitchen had a hob, a fridge with a freezer, some cooking and eating utensils, and a sink. NO oven or microwave. (There was an empty shelf over the cooker that may have contained a microwave once upon a time.) I found that bad form. One of the main reasons I chose this hotel was that it offered a kitchen. I was travelling on a low budget and could not afford to eat out. If you're going to promise your guests a kitchen, then that kitchen should contain the kinds of things kitchens normally contain.

The traffic is more convenient, three subway stations from Chamartin Railway Station, just walk down a short walk. There are many supermarkets and restaurants around. The hotel rooms are quite satisfactory and the beds can be lifted and lowered.

Good place to stay for short trips to Madrid, we will probably book again at the property in the future, perhaps with breakfast and late check out for a change. We loved the enviroment and atmosphere. Beds where confy, but if you have big luggage it may be an issue Lockers available as well.
