Hostal Zamoran

Perfect location, good place to short term stay and sightseeing the city centre. Friendly staff in check-in desk.

Unfortunately room was very dirty (shelves, desk were full of dust). Significant amount of mould in the bathtub make us very uncomfortable during taking shower. Very thin walls - we coudn't even talk in very low voice in the evenings because every day someone was knocking in the wall to get us attention. Pillows seems to be very old and worn-out. Room was very dark (light had to be switched on every moment of the day). Even though staff was friendly and nice, they don't speak English at all.

The location is really good, on a busy pedestrian street next to Gran Via and 1-1.5 km walk to the three great museums. There is a vending machine in the common space, so water and cola are conveniently available.

No insulation. One can hear 3 rooms around, every person or especially drunk group entering the hostal waked me up, every bottle of water bought by somebody at the vending machine banged inside my head. Since a lot of clients come late at night and others leave for their planes early in the morning - forget about sleeping in this place. We stayed 7 days and I never had a 2 hours non-interrupted sleep span. Very frustrating.

the location was ok. the neighborhood ok too.

there were no one at the reception counter all night. check in process was complicated and long as well. imagine how delightful it was to stay in a room without a window and the heating system broken. freezing to death at night for two nights. old towels and facilities, really really disappointing!!! Not worth your money! :/
