Hostal Oliver

It was close to sol station, just around a corner and half way up the street. The staff were very friendly and although they didn’t speak much English, they tried their best to help and understand. They gave me back money for me to change to another room that I had booked for an extra night while I was there which was great.

It was very noisy. I could hear people in the corridor talking or opening cupboards/ doors etc. For the first night I was in the room right next to the reception and it was so loud so I changed rooms as I had booked an extra night in another room. They originally had me pay a little extra but gave me this back which I think was to do with only being in a single room with a fan instead of air-con. The bed creaked too and I had to wear earplugs to sleep which blocked out most of the sounds. I had trouble finding the Hostal as there wasn’t an obvious big sign, it’s in the window above the door, and having got there late in the evening when it was dark, I had to ask someone for help to find it.

I booked a double room with shared bathroom during the Champions League Final 2019 and the room was very clean. The hostel is well located, just a minute away from Puerta del Sol and so from the Metro. The person who checked me in was really nice and the WiFi worked perfectly. For a one night stay this place was perfect.

The only downside is that there was no elevator!

new and clean room, great facilities and fantastic location.
