Madrid hotels in Villa de Vallecas

The price... Yes...at booking the use of credit cards is only to ensure tha you respect the reservation. I used a credit card that i didn't want charged, and the hostal charged it without my authorisation.

I liked receiving breakfast tickets that I could just give to the restaurant that was attached to the Hostal. It was hard to locate the Hostal since we arrived in Madrid at 10 pm and the information centers were closed. It would be extremely nice if the hostal included public transit directions from the metro system. Even if it just said to start from the closest metro stop at least all travelling by train, bus, or plane could get themselves to that metro line. Also, I inquired about traveling with a baby and wanted a crib, but that was unavailable the 1st night. That made the 1st night stay rather difficult.

Other guests made too much noise until 02:30 AM, including whistles. The bathroom was not cleaned during the two days. Was charged for 1 more day of my credit card, but I think this will be resolved peacefully.

In the day time the staff was nice and friendly and helpful. The rooms were larger than expected and the bathrooms were also clean. The hostal was difficult to find in the first place. It was not clear on Booking.com how far outside the city of Madrid this hostal was. We arrived and it was close to a 45 minute journey into Madrid from Hostal Welcome. There was also no places near to eat or relax especially since the restaurant close by closed at odd hours. Also the blankets on the beds seemed to not have been washed for a long time.
