Felt like I was in a dorm or staying at a family member’s home. It was cozy and clean. It was a little loud because of the restaurants nearby but wasn’t too bad. Location is perfect!! Would stay here again.

We loved how central we were while staying at Hostal Dolcevita. The staff were super friendly, and everything was neat and clean. If you are looking for a budget stay in Madrid (think one step above hostel), you would probably enjoy staying here. Be warned though, you will be climbing quite a few stairs to get there!

Nice budget hotel
This is a budget hotel on the fourth floor without an elevator and without airconditioning on a busy street. That aside it's nicely done up with friendly staff and I enjoyed my stay in a room facing the courtyard. Madrid had a rare cold snap in late June so I survived without AC

The hostal is really clean and very quite. The only thing is that if you have heavy luggage is really hard to reach it is on the 4/5 floor without lift.

Great location within the gay neighbourhood; close to all the attractions and to good restaurants. Not a particularily comfortable room though, and on the fourth (4th) floor without elevator, so it’s a walk up.

Good base on a budget
Decent stay for the price. If you’re looking for a budget place to stay while visiting Madrid this is a good option. Hostal is up a few flights of stairs so if you have issues with walking or climbing, may not be the place for you. Place is fairly old and the bathroom seems to be a recent addition, but it is a plus having one vs. sharing one in other sections of the hostal. No AC, but the the overhead fan worked and kept us cool in the heat. Walkable to everything. Overall, not the fanciest place but was a good stay to set base for our trip to Madrid.

Good value for money
Completely ok room for the price. The door to the balcony was not possible to close properly so a lot of sound from bars outside came in. I spent miminal time at this hostel

Location
Extremely well located, close by Gran Via and very quiet room. Congratulations to your staff, very helpful and friendly. Only drawback was it was on the third floor and no elevator- so you get your cardio workout! But overall excellent!

Helpful staff nearly always available. Very clean and beds made for us each day. On one early morning the lock jammed shut n the only toilets/shower available, with no one inside, and it took time for us to realise that no one was inside; so the facilities were out of use for an hour. However once the reception was staffed the staff sorted out the problem very quickly. Overall this was a very good place to stay, exceptionally convenient, and I would strongly recommend it.

Mediocre
The hotel is at the top of a building with VERY uneven stairs; the worst I have ever known anywhere. Only some of the rooms have aircon. I thought mine did, but it didn't. I did have a very noisy ceiling fan all night (30°- 40° heat) and my room was under the roof itself so cooked in the day. Be careful what room you choose, especially in the summer. It was torture.

Nothing special. A beautiful old building but not all that well looked after. A most unfriendly welcome, reckoned we were never booked in there & tried to overcharge. We have to go back to N.Z. in Dec & go through BANK STATEMENTS to prove we had paid & bow much.
Are you able to check for us & get the refund please?
We have always found Expedia great, but certainly not this time.
We found much more accom. 5min walk away at half the price . Certainly would Not recommend it to anyone.
