  Hostal El Pilar Madrid, worst property ever.

  Terrible experience. This is not a Hostal, This is a private family home modified to fit into Hostal category, but is far from that. I stayed in a tiny room 2x3 mtrs. with bad smell, dirty bed closes, tiny private bathroom. The smell at the room is so hard and the lady at the front desk did not want to consider any other option. Besides there is no Elevator to the 4th floor and my room as in a 4 1… Read moreTerrible experience.

  Complete RIP OFF.

  What an absolute dump! Walls are paper thin and you can hear absolutely everything from either sides, above and below! People shouting, singing and playing music till 2am. When I complained to staff, they couldn’t have cared less. Room was MUCH smaller than advertised and was absolutely filthy. Complete RIP OFF.What an absolute dump!

  Fine clean room but very noisy

  The hostel is in a great central location. It took four presses on the buzzer to be allowed in but eventually we entered. The receptionist spoke good English and the check-in was fine. The room was clean and perfectly adequate but it was just 4m from the reception desk and with poor sound insulation we heard every thing that was discussed in the reception area and heard the phone ring every time.… Read moreThe hostel is in a great central location.

  Avoid... /CP???

  - Super good location that everyone can’t deny.- So on booking.com they advertised something that’s a bit shady: - In fact, there are very few sockets near the bed (only 3! Imagine 4 people-room, each one has a phone, battery or laptop or a camera). We even have to use the sockets in the bathroom to charge our powerbank. Hairdryer, it is not in the room so you have to ASK for it.
