Gay Hostal Puerta del Sol

The staff were polite and courteous.

The hotel is superbly situated on the Puerta del Sol, so open your window, and take in the view of... A construction site. The Puerta del Sol is undergoing major works for an indefinte amount of time. You will definitely not need your alarm clock. The jack-hammers outside will drown it out. Also the rooms are tiny, the beds uncomfortable, and if you are under the illusion that you have a bathroom, think of it more as a bathroom-phone booth. The only thing worth paying for here was the location and what would have been a breathtaking view.

The accomodation was fine for the short break we had. There was a friendly receptionist. It was clean, in a great location and good value for money but I wouldnt want to stay for a long period.

There was not much storage space for clothes. the decoration and maintenance was rather neglected. Although we were told that the hotel was safe. There was no actual safe in the rooms and room keys were left on a rack which could be accessed by all the guests.

Location, breakfast, english speaking host.

Leaking toilet that couldn't be sat on easily!
