“Central to all the action, great value, not luxury but very thoughtfully decorated and comfortable. I chose because it's also 2 blocks from the biggest subway hub/interchange, but ended up not using it because the area is so walkable (except to airport). Super safe even walking back from bars at 2 am with police station 2 buildings away. It seemed a bit too good to be true for the price, but glad I took a chance - amazing experience and would definitely recommend for the walking urban explorer! Again, probably not everyone's cup of tea if you're looking for fancy. Bathroom is clean and fixtures are new though small. Outside sound was not an issue to me nor my neighbors, but I see how situationally it could be. They provide earplugs but I always like bringing my own silicone ones when I travel.”
“Stayed there for 4 nights. Perfect location. Room isn’t big but big enough for two people for a little holiday trip. It is noisy during the night but it wasn’t a problem for us. With this location and price, we can’t ask for more. There were earplugs provided as well. We definitely recommend this place and will stay there again.”
“Madridcito was a very nice place to stay at. -EXCELLENT LOCATION -VERY COMMUNICATIVE STAFF -THERE IS AN ELEVATOR! -DELICIOUS BED I did had a slight issue one morning where two different couples were using the communal areas at 6am, which is supposed to be a restricted time (to not bother other guests). Unfortunately they were bothering us as the walls are thin and you can hear everything. I hope the staff considers placing a LARGE sign to make sure all guests understand WHEN they can make noise. Besides that everything was great, including said communal room where a refrigerator, teas, coffee, microwave and a bunch of other things are available for guests.”
“This hotel is a little non-standard, but I liked the unique aspects. First, there's no physical check-in, but you'll be prompted to do so online before your arrival, where your key will be waiting for you in the common room. The common area is stocked with snacks, shared fridges, coffee, and tea. The rooms are rather small, but very well designed, they even include a little balcony! Would definitely consider this one again, although it's not a typical hotel experience by any means and feels closer to a short-term apartment rental.”
“Very nice little B&B with perfect location and some charm. We really enjoyed our stay. The only thing is that the street is very lively and you can hear it. But we will gladly come back the next time we're in Madrid.”
“Right in the heart of Madrid proper. Short interesting streets to all the popular spots. An amazing grocery store directly across the hotel with everything you could possibly need or desire. Alba's communication with us before and during our stay is impeccable. We love the common area! So homey and welcoming. We are drinking it all in”
“The room we stayed in was spacious enough for two people and had no issues. If you’re a light sleeper, they provide earplugs for the city noise. The b&b is on a busy street and the city closes late. If noise isn’t concerning to you, this is a GREAT location! I would highly recommend and come back. The location is central to so many options for shopping or eating and is super close to the metro. The common area is nice although didn’t use it. No issues getting into the b&b. If you use the lift make sure the door shuts all the way or the lift won’t work. It only happened to us once.”
