Hostal Foster

Although the receptionist spoke English just a little, she was very kind and helpful. The design of the room is fine. The room and the separate toilet and bathroom were clean. Location is very good close to the main sights on Madrid including Metro

The one-bed room is really small, cca 8 m2 with one window leading to an inner-yard where the neighbours hang laundry. During the day there was a horrible (soup?) smell coming from the inner yard to the room throigh the window so ventilation was impossible. The same smell was also in the hall of the house. The room is right next to the main entrance of the hostel so you might be woken up by latecomers. Breakfast = 2 sweet rolls, 1 coffee, 1 juice was aervwd only ať 9.30 or 10.00

The property is very well positioned, exactly in the city center and you have easy access to all points of interest and to the means of public transport. The staff is very friendly and pleasant.

The pictures are misleading, at least those with the room we were in. The other rooms we saw during our stay seemed to be like the ones in the pictures. Our room was very small, with an equally small toilet and poorly designed. The walls were very thin and you could hear even the slightest noise in the hall - especially the service woman who at 7-8 in the morning was walking down the hall with a large number of keys, which made a lot of noise. The windows were just as badly soundproof and anything outside was heard, including when a person was walking on heels.
