Great location near Puerta del Sol and easy access to the Metro. The room was clean and had a heater, which was a plus during my stay. The WiFi worked well, and I appreciated having free access throughout the hostel. the noise level was bothersome. you could hear everything from the neighboring rooms. The bathroom was also quite small, making it a bit uncomfortable, especially for someone used to more space. Unfortunately, I encountered a language barrier with some staff members, which made communication challenging. Despite these issues, the hostel's position made up for some of the inconveniences.

This is the only review you’ll need

Fantastic location just steps from everything! We enjoyed an upgraded triple room that was perfect for two, and it was clean and spacious. Plus, the staff was incredibly helpful and worry-free! With great value for money, this place is a must for any traveler!

Just an appropriate option for a swift stopover in Madrid with outstanding value for money. The flat screen TV was mounted well, allowing me to watch comfortably from one corner of the room. It can be a hassle to ring the doorbell every time you come back, so be ready for that.

Clean with great shower pressure and comfortable beds.

Amazing location with stunning views from the balcony. Everything was clean and packed with essentials. Room was comfy and quiet despite the street noise.

The room was clean, but I had constant cold showers.

The hostel offers clean accommodations with good WiFi.

My experience at Hostal Alicante was frustrating. The check-in process felt rushed and unwelcoming, particularly when the front desk staff displayed a lack of patience due to my Spanish skills. the room assigned to me had no windows, which left it feeling claustrophobic and uncomfortable, especially since the air conditioning was ineffective. I also encountered noise disturbances from other guests, making it hard to relax.

The rooms, while snug, had decent amenities including a flat-screen TV positioned well for watching comfortably. The location is perfect, wedged right near the bustling nightlife, which is great for those who enjoy the city’s after-dark vibes.

The small size was uncomfortable, and it felt claustrophobic in a windowless room with ineffective AC, which was just a ceiling fan. Noise levels were a pain, amplified by the thin walls that let all the racket from the adjacent rooms seep in—conversations and kitchen chaos made restful sleep a challenge. Plus, the showers were hit-or-miss on hot water on a long stay. Lastly, you need to ring the doorbell to enter every time, which quickly becomes tedious.

good location but noise levels were high

The location is fantastic. just a few steps from the subway and city centre. The staff was incredibly helpful, providing recommendations and assistance whenever needed. I also found the value for money to be surprisingly good, especially for the amenities offered. I could easily explore main shops and restaurants without hassle.

The noise levels from neighboring rooms were quite bothersome.

I stayed for one night and really enjoyed the comfy towels and the efficient bathroom setup. The Wi-Fi was excellent, but I missed having a hairdryer in my room. I'd definitely come back!

I had a wonderful stay at Hostal Alicante! The location is fantastic, just steps away from the Puerta del Sol and with multiple metro stations nearby. The room was well-equipped with a private bathroom and free Wi-Fi. The daily cleaning service kept everything tidy, and the flat-screen TV was a nice touch.
