It’s no 5 star hotel but it did the job - right in the middle of town. Amazing views at the roof top. Walking distance to everything. So many restaurants and souvenir stores. Elevator only holds 3 people due to weight restriction so plan ahead. Hotel is on the 7th floor. No complaints at all. Only stayed in the room to sleep And shower.

The staff was amazing, the location was unmatched, and the breakfast on the rooftop was great. That said, we had constant issues with the AC. The first night it didn’t work at all, and the second night it only barely worked. Additionally, the elevator was a constant problem. One four-person capacity elevator serves the hotels on the fifth, seventh, eighth, and ninth floors. We frequently ended up just having to climb eight flights of stairs. Besides the elevator and the AC, we had no issues.
My son accidentally left his favorite stuffed animal on the bed. I tried to contact the hotel from the hotels.com support line within one hour after we checked out, as we will be in town until 2 weeks later. No one responded and I tried to call the hotel numerous times, but no one ever picked up the phone call. The stuffed animal is an old toy that may be worthless to others, but it was very special to my son. I am hoping the staff will be able to retrieve for us and we will be able to pick up in person before we leave Madrid.

A nice hostel for solo travelers, rooms are small!
The room was very clean, had great size for 3 people, good beds, great big bathroom and 2 little balconies with amazing views. And all that in the heart of the city. We walked everywhere to museums, parks, shopping, restaurants, city's main landmarks. Highly recommend it!
Despite a great location and friendly staff I wouldn’t recommend nor stay in the hotel again. Luckily it was only 1 night, would have moved if I was suppose to stay there any longer.
The room was tiny, view on the wall, scary, claustrophobic lift, dodgy and smelly entrance to the building. No soundproofing so I could even here the people next door snoring. Not a good night sleep and deffo not worth the price paid.
I slept really well, no noise, and good views at Sky 44 and even from my window. The only thing it is on the 7th floor and elevator had issues in addition of me not liking the small elevator I used the stairs in total 9 floors from the base. They close the door at midnight, but they say you can use your car to open the door. The only thing I did not like was there is no mini fridge.Make sure you get what you selected.
Loved the location and the reception staff was very nice, my only complaint is that the cleaning staff gets way too loud in the mornings, especially the older lady who seems to constantly give loud instructions to the rest as if she was arguing with them. Other than that, it would be a great choice.
Bathrooms were dirty one miniature soap for 2 people
We had to ask for Toilet constantly
Towels were not replaced with New ones till we asked
One day we had to wait for towels due to being washed
Bedding were never changed
Never again
I give it -0

Perfect voor citytrip Madrid, prima schone kamer , lekker ontbijt voor zeer aantrekkelijke prijs. Locatie zeer centraal voor 2 euro kun je je bagage in bewaring gevrn, en schuttle service nasr de luchthaven.
Muy limpio y funcional con todo lo necesario, el personal muy atento y resolvió todas nuestras necesidades. Ubicadisimo en Callao me encanta ese punto de Madrid. Hay muchos hostales en el mismo edificio pero este ha sido el mejor.
