Apr 18, 2012 - It's a place to sleep at night and that is it.
Jul 22, 2011 - Quite ok when you only have one night in Madrid as we had. The room and bathroom were clean, but basic. The woman running the hostel did not speak English, but she was friendly enough.
May 30, 2011 - I'd say that is a cheap hostal, quite enough for a short period and very well located! In 5 min you are in the metro station that is only one stop to the city center, SOL! When you enter the place it smells like old, i don't know, something weird! The guy in the reception is quite old, so he only speaks Spanish, but for me it wasn't a problem! Considering the room, it was enough for me and my other 3 friends, free internet access, TV and a washbasin! The bath is outside of the room and clean! Good for a short period!
May 10, 2011 - The Xucar hostal is situated in a very good place, near to the center of Madrid.
Rooms and bathroom are clean.
The only negative aspect I could find is, that no one there can speak in english.
Mar 27, 2011 - Very central - great location - no amenities, really, but a good price for Madrid. (must pay in cash; must speak Spanish because they do not speak English)
Mar 14, 2011 - Location is really good, rooms are a bit run down, but very clean. The staff (consisting of some guy and his wife I presume) does not talk a lot but does it's job. All in all maybe not the first place I'd check but definitely fine to stay if you're not after party or the typical "hostel atmosphere"!
Oct 30, 2010 - It's an old place with only one bathroom for7-8 rooms. I miss the kithen as well, but everything is clean, and has a realy good position, near to almost every famous places.(Plus easy to find the flat, because they send a helpful email)
Sep 24, 2010 - The hostal keep does not speak even a word of English. He was also a chain smoker. Worst of all, he demanded cash payment upfront, rather than charge with credit card. All of these combined made it a miserable stay.
Aug 18, 2010 - Everything was quite good but staff don't speak in english.
Jul 07, 2010 - Just OK.
Good location but rooms very hot in summer - no common lounge area,and did not appreciate having the owner barge into my room with his key at some ungodly hour of 6am
