I stayed 3 nights, in a single bed with shared bath and had a nice experience. The walk up the stairs would be difficult if you had a lot of luggage (I did not). The room was charming, clean, and had a cute little balcony overlooking the street. The staff was very friendly, and helpful, and it felt secure. They... More

colorful rooms, internet, confy bad. Reception 24hrs a day. It's a very friendly place. Didn't want to live, I felt like at home!!! It's not far from Plaza del Sol, in the CHUECA area. Great experience! If I'll ever go back to Mdrid, I'll book a room again! (nb: it's located on the 4th floor and there is no lift!)... More

I stayed here for only 1 night and was pleasantly surprised by how well I slept and how nice the facilities were considering it was so cheap. It's true that it's on the 2nd floor and there is no lift, so if you have a big suitcase then maybe this isn't the place for you. My single room had 3... More

My stay at Dolcevita was great! The room 407, where I stayed, is this cute, cozy challet-like bedroom with private bathroom, with a romantic decoration. The hostal is located in one of the coolest neighbourhoods in Madrid - Chueca - with walking distance to all the main touristic sites, as well as tapa bars, restaurants, etc. The Staff was very...

I stayed here for 3 weeks whilst looking for property to rent in Madrid. I had to extend my booking several times (initially only booked one week as thought I could find a suitable apartment quickly) and so moved around several of its rooms.

No way to know from their listing or website, but the hotel is above two busy gay bars and the drunks in the street will keep you awake until 2 or 3 am each morning. They do not accommodate room change requests to an inside room. The shared bathroom had a slimy shower curtain that didn't reach the floor--allowing water... More

Stayed 3 nights in June. The room was very simple, no air-con, so can be too hot. no elevator. Staff was friendly. The place is great, especially if you are gay, and want to go out. The price was great for that place, since I only was in need of place to sleep, spending all time out the hostal. wifi... More

I stayed here for just one night... I agree that the stairs were a bit much (especially lugging my suitcases down exhausted and half drunk at 6 the next morning) but my room was so cute, I shared my bathroom with only one other person who I never saw. I even had a little balcony. The staff was friendly and... More
