Sadly not the cozy retreat we had been promised

The information we received prior to arrival was excellent but I wasn't able to check in in advance using the on-line system. The hotel was situated in a very central location, but was quiet and felt very secure. Reception was in the Hotel Victoria ( a few doors down). The staff there were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast in the Victoria was good and they were able to store our bags for us won the last day before we flew home. The facilities listed for the Matheu (coffee shop, bar and restaurant), were situated either in the Hotel Victoria or, in the case of the restaurant, was a public restaurant between the 2 buildings. Unfortunately, although our room was clean and the bed comfortable, it was shabby, very small, and not al all as shown in the picture. I estimated it to be 8ft square which, by the time you add a double bed, a wardrobe, 2 adults and 2 suitcases, left VERY little room for manoeuvre. To make things worse the small window in the room had a dreadful outlook which discouraged us opening it or even looking out of it. We kept the curtains closed most of the time. The room felt very claustrophobic. Other rooms we saw looked much better. Sadly not the cozy retreat we had been promised.

Very nice place to stay for the price. Clean, safe, and right in the middle of everything. That was the only down side though too as people were partying until 5am and it was not quiet. Great breakfast at the Victoria hotel nearby.

Great location with provably 6-10 options for food and drink within a stone's throw and what seems like a million more in a short walk. The downside, don't expect any sleep before 3am as there are pubs right below the rooms.

Hostel Matheu is a part of a bigger hostel chain called Victoria 4. You still need to check in at that location if you want to stay at the other hostel. The staff are very friendly and know Spanish and English. The location itself is around a bunch of restaurants and shopping. It is also about a 12 minute walk to the palace. I only got to stay here for one night, but it did the trick!

Very basic room in the heart of the gothic quarter. Very easy access areas around Madrid. Only negative is the noise I'd say. Our room faced the street which was noisy all night long with people, a dance club, trash pick up etc going on. But for the price and location it was good for us; take a noise machine with you and you'll be alright

Muy buen lugar

Muy buena ubicación! Habitación muy básica, pero limpia, un poco ruidoso dentro del hostal se escucha cuando la gente camina por el pasillo, pero seguro me volvería a quedar allí mismo.

If you want to experience "La Fiesta" around the Madrid area, this is the place to stay. If you are planning to rest, you better look for another option. This hostal is located around a lot of rest & bars and you will be hearing, music, people talking and laughing loud all night even if the doors and windows are closed. For the purpose of my trip, the place met my needs.
