comments Saludos, Primero de todo gracias por facilitarnos la posibilidad de poder dejar nuestra opinión en vuestra página web, si es realmente así. En cuanto a nuestra estancia en el Hostal Mairú, pues la verdad fue bastante breve, pues fuimos delegados a otra pensión si previo aviso y con un trato poco amistoso dada las circunstancias adversas que a nosotros no nos incumbía. No estaría de menos una llamada el dia antes avisándonos que no disponiamos de reserva, incluso habiendo hecho una dos meses antes. En cuanto a la otra pensión, Hostal Berlín, qué decir? una cama plagada de arnas, de la que te levantabas con el pijama ,literalmente, agujereado, unas cañerías obstruidas que rebufaban cada instante que alguien abría el grifo de su habitación y una ama de casa que apabullaba, pasadas las doce de la noche, al empleado de la pensión que por favor reponiese el papel higiénico, que por cierto, escaseaba en los aseos. Por todo esto, gracias por hacernos pasar una "agradable" estancia en Madrid. La próxima vez ya nos aseguraremos adonde vamos, vale la pena.

comments I made a reservation for a room which included bathroom and toilets, and I was surprise that once arrive in the Hotel they gave me a smaller room without no bathroom. Thanks god I had brought the confirmation with me and the problem was solved very quickly. Also it will be good to have people who can speak english. Expect that the girls in there were really kind. I might come back to your hostel another time.

comments Small but central, and considering the price, a really pleasant stay. Not too busy, meaning i was able to book a few extra nights at short notice while sorting out permanent lodgings. Rooms cleaned and fresh sheets daily, friendly staff and 24 hour service to let you in whatever the hour. A nice and quiet stay

comments La pension era bastante sencilla y la habitación no muy grande, pero estaba en pleno centro y no habia ningún problema por las horas de salida ni entrada. Perfecta para lo que buscaba que era un sitio barato donde dormir en el centro.

comments Very clean and confortable, but I used the room only few hours a night. If you want to sleep could be a little noisy. I loved to have my own little balcony. I didn't have a private bathroom and there is only one to share with I don't how many rooms, anyway the bathroom was always available anytime I went to. Very nice location, the owner also is very nice and helpful (they let you in 24h a day and I got back at 4 a.m. both nights I spent there!)

comments Hostal Mairu is a no-frills, perfectly adequate place to stay in an excellent location (five minutes' walk south of the Teatro Real). I would not stay there with my wife, but for a person or people who don't mind staying in an inexpensive and convenient place it was not bad at all. The windows overlook a street cafe (on my first night there, a Friday, the talking outside the window did not end until a party started inside the building around 6am) but much of the noise is blocked by the thick windows (though they don't close all the way). Not bad at all - just very bare bones.

comments Staff were friendly and always willing to help with any queries. The room and bathroom were clean and comfortable. However, it was a bit noisy with the noise from the street and people coming in and out, but not too bad in that respect. All in all, a good place to stay and excellent location - very central.

comments Excellent location of this hostel, city centre on your doorstep!Just a short walk to all turist attractions. We were really surprised how clean it was, they made our room up every day even the towels were changed, if the room wasn't so basic we would think we were in a hotel!! People were friendly but speak only spanish, no word in English even Thank you or Bye:-) Good value for money, if we go to Madrid again will stay at the same place.

comments LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! I stayed in a room with bath/toilet included. Although the room had two beds (twins) I think it would have been too small for two people and the two would have to be very intimate. If all you want is a place to sleep and shower, this Hostal is awesome. Right in the heart of center city. It is, however, very no frills...literally just a room with a bed, toilet and shower. Be aware that the office for the Hostal is on the second floor, so after you ring the doorbell, keep climbing. Also, the halls are very dark, but as I found out on my LAST day, there's light switches everywhere to turn on the lights. Also, you have to ring the bell to be let in everytime you go out and return.

comments The room was small but extremely clean. The people were friendly, but didn't speak much English, so a little knowledge of Spanish before you go is advisable. You have to be buzzed into the building from the front door by someone inside every time you go in, but there are people working 24 hours so it doesn't matter what time you come back!

comments Hostal was cleaned and tidied every day. The room was basic but worth the price. The people were nice, but not a word of english was spoken,so remember your phrasebook. The owners were quite loud on the nights and the walls were quite thin, therefore the amount of noise can be quite bad. Nice central area for all your needs. Security was good surrounding the stay. The only bad point is having to buzz the owners each time you want to enter.

comments Good no-frills acccomodation. Excellent location right in the city centre, though this means it can be somewhat noisy at night. Cheap rates and pleasant staff. Some light in the stairwell at night would have been nice - climbing three floors in darkness is tricky! Overall, excellent value and courteous service.

comments Primera vez que me hospedo en esta ciudad, así que cuando descubrí el area donde estaba situado este hostal, no hice otra cosa más que agradecer por ello. A unos cuantos pasos de la Plaza Isabel, céntrico, muy cerca de tiendas de moda, bares, restaurantes y locutorios. Si te gusta caminar, en minutos llegas a museos, y lugares históricos. La habitación super limpia y sencilla. La encargada del hostal, Pilar, muy simpática, al igual que las otras dos chicas.Por las noches es un poco ruidoso, ya que en la planta baja del edificio hay un bar, pero eso se arregla cerrando la ventana! El precio un poquito alto, pero la situación del lugar lo compensa.Definitivamente regresaría! Recomendable.

comments Loaction is perfect 2 mins walk to Plaza Mayor, Sol in 5 and Opera Metro too. Basic room but really clean room which wasn't en suite but we knew that. The shared toilet was only ever used by us i think and also very very clean. Shower in our room worked really well, high pressure and hot. We asked for a double bed when we booked and we got one. Staff were helpful when asked but not sure if they speak much English. I would not hesitate to stay there again. To be honest i can't believe we stayed so central for so little. Much better than the chain places we stayed in other cities on our trip.

comments hostal mairu is very modest. the rooms are small, the building is old, and there is no breakfast. it is very mom and pop. but if you plan on spending most of your time hanging out then it is an inexpensive and decent place to lay your head for a night or two. the girls that run the hostal only speak spanish. just an fyi for tourists. however, they are very pleasant and helpful.
