I stayed here for 1 night on 24.04.08. Yes the receptionist does not speak a word of English - I can speak Spanish - but she was as polite as you can expect to find in Spain! My room and bathroom was spotless and perfectly adequate for an overnight. Location - in the heart of Chueca - is great and... more

I would never recommend anyone to get in contact with this place. I tried to book a room via their homepage. as I did not get any confirmation or any other response, I called them and tried to ask for an explanation. however, no one in this place speaks any other language than Spanish. so I asked a Spanish friend... more

Having lived in Madrid already I decided to go back and visit and wanted to stay in the Gran Vía area, however I was a little worried that the hostals in that area would be seedy and dirty, nontheless I booked the Hostal Odesa and couldn't have been happier; The rooms were very clean and our room overlooked La Calle... more

Before I booked my room here a read a previous reviewers' comments regarding the rigid rules at this hotel. I cannot report that I was lectured on arrival but I can certainly agree that this is not a 'gay hotel' like ones I have stayed in before. I booked a single room here for a reasonably long stay of over... more

We stayed at the Hostal Odesa in one of their apartments in December 2004 (Apartamentos Odesa). They have both regular hostal rooms and individual apartments in several buildings within a block of Hortaleza, 38. This is the second time I stayed here. In 2003 I decided to stay here because the apartments they have include a washing machine, which I... more
