Hard to sleep with all the noise from doorbell ringing and occupant of apartment upstrais who owned several dogs. They could be heard running over and back. Two of our party who were asleep at 1.30 were woken by the person on the desk and told to keep the noise down. There was no apology when it was clear he... more

When we arrived we booked in and then we were walked to another building in a street off Atocha. The building was very quiet, and our room clean and adequate. It took us some time to work out the lift system! It wasn't till we went to check out that we discovered there was a kitchen and internet. The position... more

We stayed 2 nights and were very comfortable. The room was very clean and large enough for the 3 of us ( triple room). The bathroom was tiled nicely and was clean - towels were changed every day and hot water was always available. The staff were friendly and helpful. There was quite a lot of noise in the night... more

We (3 adults) stayed one night at the Hostal Martin/Cervelo (dfferent floors, same management). The place was incredibly convenient, walking distance from Plaza del Sol, Plaza Major, The Prado, and the Renfe-Atocha train station. Close to subway too. The room and bath were clean and quiet. Hotel staff was very helpful and most spoke English. Simple lounge area with computer... more

Going back to look at reviews again before writing this, I saw some that would have deterred me from staying at Hostal Martin (somehow I didn't see those before our trip). My initial impressions of Hostal Martin during booking were very good. They were extremely responsive on email and we had several communications before our departure. We chose the hostal... more

After spending a lovely week in a quiet apartment unit on a tree-lined street in Madrid, we (a family of three) went to the coastal areas. Our return flight to our home detination was from Madrid, very early in the morning. So, before leaving Madrid, attracted by its central location, we went to Hostal Martin -- to get a basic... more

probably the worst hostel I've been to during the last year. The room was dark, grimy and with gargling water pipes as background tracking. The 'ensuite' bathroom may sound grand until you've been there that is. There was an underlying odour that was impossible to shake off and is still in my nostrils writing this review so I think I'll... more

Generally fair value for €57 for smallish, plain but very clean and recently refurbished double room. Great location - close to metro, many attractions, restaurants and a very good breakfast cafe about 5 doors down Calle Atocha. We were able to switch after one night from an extremely tiny double room in Hostal Cervelo (same operators, on 1st floor where... more

Be warned this property is not safe. I was mugged by 3 individuals entering the building 2 weeks ago. They do not have any security cameras out front or in the lobby. When the person on duty finally came down after I screamed he would not call the police or allow me to use a phone to call home. I... more
