Plusses: situated right in the center, within walking distance to many sights (Prado, Opera, Plazas), room spotless, good beds, friendly and familiar atmosphere. Breakfast ok for 3 euros. Great chance to practise your Spanish since hostal personnel hardly able to speak decent English. Minusses: loud environment, so impossible to sleep with window open; strong smell of chlorex in the room.... More

Hostal Riesco was so cute, clean, friendly and excellently located. I will recommend this place to my friends and other travellers. It is located right on Puerta del Sol, two steps from the metro and yet on the corner of a quiter street. My room was bright, spacious and with an excellent wide compfortable bed. Highly recommended.

We stayed here for 3 nights at the end of our trip and were quite pleased with it. And it's great value for the money. I found the people on the front desk very helpful and friendly. The rooms were clean and spacious - our bathroom was quite small, but adequate. Everyone seemed to be aware that they needed to... More

However, no we didn't spend any more time than absolutely required in the hostel and no, we didn't make any mire noise than snoring... More

We only had one night here, but it was a haven -- spotless, comfortable, friendly staff, and a wonderful location -- just a half block off the Plaza del Sol. We took the metro from the airport. It was a breeze. Although there's no wifi in the rooms, it worked well in the lounge/dining room. More

We stayed at the Hotel Riesco for a long weekend getaway. It was perfect! In the center of town, right next to the Puerta del Sol, conveniently close to all of the downtown sights, restaurants, bars and the metro. We booked our room for 55Euros a night, and were so happy with our choice! The hotel is in an interesting... More

Hostal Riesco is similar to a nice pensione in Italy. Located on two floors of an old building on the Puerta del Sol square it is perfectly located in the center of Old Madrid. It is right across the street from one of the hub metro stations. From this metro, you can get everywhere quickly. Of course, you are a... More

Heard about this place from a friend. Was delighted when we got there, prime location, excellent value for money, spotless, comfortable with a great view. Wasn't expecting much because of the cheap price so was very pleasantly surprised by this hotel. Amazing view in the heart of peurto de la sol. 2 second walk to the metro, which is so... More

When we checked in, they told us the room had air conditioning, but then they hardly turned it on. And Madrid was really hot in the afternoon! We tried to get them to turn it on at night at least, but they refused. "It's impossible," the man said. So with the windows open, it was extremely noisy and we didn't... More

We asked for a room overlooking Sol but were given a side view room.It was VERY hot in Madrid and the air conditioning was very erratic and appeared to be controlled from the office, not what we were led to believe as it was turned off all night. Fortunately, we talked them into giving us a fan which helped to... More
