This place was in a good location and the staff was friendly. However, the rooms were not very clean. There were dirty hand-prints all over our walls and a few stains on the comforter. A large dog was present in the lobby area most of the time. The carpet was covered in dog hair. People who aren't worried about staying... more

Spent 2 nights in a double room for 50 euros per night. The room had all the facilities I could have wanted from a 3 star hotel, except with a cheaper feel to it. We had a boxy room where the bed took up 80% of the floorspace. However, it was clean an comfortable. Not all the plug sockets worked... more

We stayed 3 nights at this hostal in september 2008, Hostal at very central position very close to puerta del sol. Hostal have a small rooms and ground floor is very noisy. Only upper floor have a new forniture rest of hostal old fornitured. No restaurant, internet and no breakfast. We want to change our room (stamp sized room) but... more

Stayed there 4 nights. The Marlasca is not really a hostel, but more of a hotel, with private bathrooms(small, but very functional). The rooms are very clean and somewhat quaint. Not as small as we had expected. Our two rooms were very roomy! It has a great location, but that also means that there is a lot of outside noise... more

Me and Boyfriend stayed at the Hostal Marlasca in June 08 for 3 nights. Although it is called a Hostal do not let this put you off, as all of the Hotels are called Hostals in Madrid!!! This Hotel is a lovely place to stay and well worth the price. The rooms are very spacious and the staff are very... more

I don't understand why people are writing such bad reviews- this place was great. Just don't expect first class service when you're paying 60euros a night. The place was in a great location close to sol subway. We got a room on the 2nd floor and the decor was very very nice for a hostal. The hostal was very quiet... more

Great location for a short simple stay in Madrid, but don't expect anything more than a place to rest your head at night.....and even that can be a bit of an ask. I had room 105 which was directly off reception and above the front foor. I was awake till past 3am every night because of everyone coming back, ringing... more

I'm not sure why this hostal has gotten such great reviews. It was by far the worst place we stayed at in Spain. If you want to get some rest at some point of your stay in Madrid, please do not stay at Hostal Marlasca. If you have to stay at this hostal, do not stay in one of the... more

Located very close to Sol metro in an area with lots of small bars and places to grab a bite. We got a room here for 56 euro with hotel.de. Chap behind the counter was very friendly, got us an iron and helped us with taxis and seemed willing to help with just about anything else we needed. Room was... more
