Basic room overlooking Sol square. Ideal location but the noise from the square was noticeable especially on Friday and Saturday night. The staff were helpful but breakfast was very basic. Room was clean. Not very gay !!

Various delights on the door steps
we used to rent a car during our yearly tour of Europe. So, it's rather essential to get a hotel further away from the city center for parking reason. We were glad not to rent a car this year and get the hotel right in the heart of Madrid, and Gay Hostal Puerta del sol served us perfectly in this aspect. It was a very splendid vacation for us.

NOT THE BEST.
The location was excellent. It was in the center of Madrid and very easy to get to all of the exighting sights and close to lovely resturants and bars. The two gentleman who ran the hotel were very helpful very kind and made me feel welcome however the lady that helped run the hotel was extremely unkind very cold and made me feel so uncomfortable to even leave my room. The service at the breakfast area was for me the worst part of my stay. The food was just toast and cheese and cornflakes this is something I an do at home and the stuff who ran the breakfast area were very very rude. I was yelled at just because accidently I walked into the kitchen rather then the siiting area. I was spoken to with such disrespect and i felt so uncomfortable to eat there. All I had was bread and left I decided not to eat there again and I found lovely cafes on the srreet instead. I may have had bad expiriances with some of the stuff but the two men who ran the place were very nice very kind and welcomimg. The room was very clean although had alot of dents and cracks on the ceiling the walls and bathroom but it was still clean the bed was nice but needed another blanket. The air-conditioner worked excellenty and was very comfortable. The balcony was very small but ok to stand for abit. Would I stay here again? Taking all the good and bad of this place my answer would be No I felt alittle cheated in the place and so will not be staying there again.

Really enjoyed the amazing location this hostel. The old saying of you get what you pay for did apply here. The bed was really just a futon on a plywood. VERY little space to move around in the bathroom. Was I impressed? Not really. Will I stay here again? Heck yeah I will! I was able to enjoy the city as I was right there in the middle of everything!

In center town, great deal
Friendly, no stairs, very well located. Clean, quiet. Air conditioning. Fair breakfast included, same 7 days. Cafee available in breakfast room all day. Free and fast wireless in room. Outside restroom but near, clean. Warm water. Had to hold shower head in my hand - not easy for my bad legs. Horrible bed, very small but adequate room. They gave me two more pillows as asked They brought an armchair as I asked. In all, very happy with my choice.

Good location and inexpensive, but noisy.
My single room was basic, comfortable and clean - and very inexpensive. The shared bathrooms were adequate. The location was very convenient: the hotel located in the centre of Madrid. Unfortunately, on two of the four nights that I stayed, I was frequently awoken by the noise made by other guests. Whilst the hotel management is not responsible for who stays at the hotel, the inexpensive cost of the rooms did seem to attract a younger clientele who came back very late and very noisily. A combination of thin walls; no damp absorbing surfaces (e.g. carpets) and some guests' propensities for slamming doors closed rather than turning the door handle; for talking very loudly early in the morning with their doors open, and for listening to television very loudly; resulted in a far from peaceful environment for sleeping!

This was a return trip to Madrid and this Hostel. Enjoy the location as rooms with a view look down into Puerto Del Sol and the Metro interchange. Good shopping two blocks over and excellent restaurants.Don't get location confused as Vodophone has bought naming rights to this metro line an station.

The Hostel is okay and the location is excellent.
It was difficult to put television on for two days so I report it. Staff checked three times before I managed to watch something the third day but yet still some channels weren't clear. Also bathroom floor get very wet after each bath.

Basic yet clean and secure. Great location.
I had such a good experience at this hotel, a very pleasant stay. It is very basic; the rooms are small, the breakfast quite meagre and my view was of washing in a courtyard. However it is a bargain, especially when you consider the location. It is very clean and surprisingly quiet. Plus the staff are most helpful, yet not obtrusive at all. If you want to enjoy Madrid and simply want somewhere clean and secure to lay your head at night (or in the wee hours of the morning) This hotel would be your perfect choice.

It's a hostel, so don't expect luxury, but the location is perfect, everything is clean and quiet. The only problem I had was that the wifi didn't work consistently (there is, however, a computer for guests' use).

Misleading and Unbearably noisy
There are too many problems with this place and some are not the fault of the establishment. Puerta del Sol is an extremely busy and loud plaza and if you are unfortunate enough to have your window facing it, sleep will be very difficult. that being said, the walls are painfully thin, the room keys are left on a board for anyone to grab and there is rarely a staff member behind the desk. there were no towels in my room and i thought this was what happened in a hostel until the next day when there were towels. The main issue is that the hostel has the word "Gay" in its title online, but not when you arrive. There is nothing that would mark this as a gay establishment at all. There are no brochures or maps to indicate where to go and it isn't even located in the gay area, where there are many other hotels and hostels. Gay or straight, I would not recommend this hostel at all.

I had a wonderful stay of three nights at the Hostal Puerta del Sol. Perfect location right in the heart of Madrid and just about a minute walk from the metro stop. My room had a balcony and a great view of the plaza Puerta del Sol. The room was small but the bed was very comfortable--I especially liked the comforter as it's much more comfortable than blankets and sheets I used in other much fancier hotels. The staff were very friendly: the two ladies and the gentleman--I'm sorry I don't remember their names any more but they are all very nice and helpful. The tea and coffee available (24 hours I guess?) in the common area was very much appreciated since I drink tea all the time. Breakfast was simple but good. The hotel was very clean and had excellent wifi. The only thing is that the shower might be too small for bigger people. Overall great value for the price. Would definitely stay here again.

A great time
I was very pleased with the hostal. The location was excellent so easy to get around the city from the hostal area. Everyone was very pleasant and most helpful while I was there. Typical breakfast, toast and cheese and ham. I loved the massive amounts of good strong Spanish coffee and hot milk. Overall a nice stay and I would recommend it to others.
