Hostal Gran Via 44

The location is great, walking distance to Plaza Del Sol and Plaza Mayor, the Royal Palace and the market but it Gran Via is a very busy and noisy street so not a right choice if you are looking for a quiet place. Our room was renovated but the A/C was not working and that was the major issue for us. We brought to the owners attention the very next morning but it was not fixed during our stay, and we were there for 4 nights, room 801. We had to open windows to keep the room cool but because of the noisy street we couldn't sleep so it was very stuffie at night. Breakfast was good but the management didn't really seem to care for the guest comfort. There also ants in the bathroom but they did take care of that problem.

Fantastic location. Hostal Gran Via 44 was based right next to the main shopping area and a short walking distance from the metro system, so everywhere was easily accessible. Our room was clean, reasonably spacious and the staff were friendly. Overall, I had no issues at all and felt very safe there. I would strongly recommend staying here, excellent value for money.

Superb location. Amazing views. Friendly staff.

good hotel nice location

Pros: The hostal is very well located. Staff is nice. Room is clean. Cons: The air conditioned sucked. It was cool when we arrived but it went out in the middle of the night. The staff said they had notified the owner but the owner didn´t show up to take care of the problem. The next day they said they fixed the problem but they didn´t. Madrid gets incredibly hot in July and air condition is a must. It would be nice for the room to have a safe, it didn´t. The building is old and it has only one elevator with capacity for 4 people.
