2-Star Hotels in Madrid

The location is absolutely perfect and, for me, one of the biggest advantages of this hotel. Usually, when you choose a hotel in such a central location, there is always the concern that it will be noisy, but here I was genuinely impressed. The soundproofing from the street is excellent. My room was very quiet even though it faced a busy central road, and the difference in noise when opening the window is incredible. You can really tell that they invested in proper soundproofing. The soundproofing between the rooms is not quite as good, and you can occasionally hear noise from neighboring rooms, but when it comes to outside noise, they did an excellent job. The room itself was modern, beautifully renovated and very comfortable. The bed was comfortable as well, and I also really appreciated having a proper, powerful hairdryer in the room rather than the weak ones you often find in hotels. The only small thing I missed was having even a bottle of water in the room, but there is a supermarket right downstairs, so it was not really a problem. The staff at reception were very kind and helpful. Reception is open 24 hours, which was very convenient, and I was able to leave my luggage there until late at night. They also allowed me to have a late check-out for a small additional fee, which I really appreciated. Overall, I had a wonderful and very comfortable stay. It is a great combination of an excellent central location, beautifully renovated rooms and an impressive level of quiet for such a busy area. I would definitely stay here again.

The reception staff (the long-haired guy with permed hair and Sophia, the lady with glasses!?) were incredibly friendly. The facilities were great, and honestly, there was nothing to complain about at this accommodation! The location was also fantastic!!

comfy place, nice staff, but you need to bring your own hair dryer. Sometimes it’s noisy downstairs but acceptable for me. People here are super nice and outgoing. A bit far from metro but close to attractions. 2 supermarket nearby, super convenient.

This review is not about the €9 breakfast charge. I paid for the breakfast because I had eaten it. This review is about how I was treated afterwards. A simple misunderstanding over breakfast escalated into one of the most unprofessional hotel experiences I have ever had. After I politely suggested that the hotel communicate its breakfast policy more clearly to avoid similar misunderstandings in the future, a staff member, Yansel, began shouting at me from outside the hotel, called me back inside, repeatedly accused me of “trying to play with him,” raised his voice throughout the interaction, claimed that he was the manager, refused my request to speak with the General Manager, and aggressively handled my personal belongings. He pushed and kicked my luggage towards the exit, damaged my bags, repeatedly shouted at me to take my belongings and leave, and I also felt mocked while trying to communicate in English instead of being treated with patience and professionalism. As a solo female traveller, I found this behaviour intimidating and completely unacceptable. Guests should be able to raise feedback respectfully without being shouted at, aggressively confronted, or having their belongings handled in this manner. I later spoke with Raul, who was professional, apologised for the way I had been treated, acknowledged that there had been been a misunderstanding regarding the breakfast, confirmed that I was entitled to leave my luggage after check-out, and informed me that Yansel was not the General Manager or the manager. I appreciate Raul’s professionalism. However, that does not change what happened. Based on my experience, I would not recommend staying at Hotel Mayerling Madrid. There are many hotels in Madrid where guests can expect to be treated with professionalism and respect. In my experience, this was not one of them. As a solo female traveller, I did not feel safe after the way this situation was handled. For that reason, I cannot recommend this hotel and would encourage other travellers to consider alternative accommodation.

This hotel is about a 12-14 minute walk (850 meters) from the train station (which has a metro connection). Hotels in Madrid are generally expensive with small rooms, so the only real perks here are the convenient location and relatively new facilities. I chose it because I had an early high-speed train the next day. I also bought breakfast, but it was incredibly disappointing. I'd highly recommend skipping breakfast here – it doesn't even compare to a B&B breakfast and definitely isn't worth the price.

The location of Petit Hostel La Latina is good, and the hygiene is acceptable. The staff also have a good service attitude. However, on two occasions, my key card stopped working and needed to be re-activated. I asked the front desk if I needed to re-activate it before checking out, and they said no. Yet, the key card failed again. The room in this small hostel is tiny. The water for showering and washing stops automatically after a very short time, and there's nowhere to hang clothes.

The Hostel is an economic way to have a safe stay. Furthermore it’s clean and I had no problems with the persons in the bedroom. Unfortunately, the elevator wasn’t working the five days of my stay. Additionally the air conditioning in my room on the fifth floor didn’t work. However I enjoyed my stay there and would come back.

This hostel offers a very good balance between price and quality. The room, bathroom, sheets, and towels are clean. The location is very central, yet it is completely quiet on the third floor. Check-in may be complicated for non-Spanish-speaking guests, as you do not receive any information prior to arrival. Shampoo and shower gel are provided. The air conditioning is new and works very well. This place opened in 2023.

The accommodation was clean. They don’t have a lift, but it’s alright to walk a few stairs. Shared bathroom and toilet. Water for showering was hot enough. There is a fan in the room. The location was close to a 24 hour supermarket. The downside is that there was not water boiler for people who need hot water:( but overall it’s good

To check in, you need to contact them via WhatsApp at the entrance. The staff responsible for check-ins weren't very responsive, and I had to wait 5-10 minutes, even making a call to them. However, another staff member, an uncle who manages the hostel, was incredibly warm and genuine. I forgot my locker code twice and he kindly reset it for me. The biggest downside was definitely the room, mainly due to a strong odor. Some guests' body odor was so overwhelming and the ventilation wasn't good, which severely impacted the living experience. I couldn't sleep at all that night, partly because of the pervasive snoring from many guests. The continuous snoring led me to pack my bags and leave at around 3 AM. Overall, the facilities were fine, and the downtown location is excellent, but the room smell was just too much.
