What guests think

At Hostal Esmeralda, guests consistently praise the extremely central location near Puerta del Sol and the friendly, helpful 24-hour reception, alongside strong cleanliness standards throughout the property and comfortable beds that support a straightforward, no-frills stay.

A recurring downside is significant street and bar noise late into the night, with several noting limited soundproofing. Rooms are small and somewhat dated, but functional; bathrooms are tight and air conditioning is appreciated. Expect a simple, super-central base that favors convenience over quiet.

Εξαιρετικό μικρό ξενοδοχείο στον δεύτερο όροφο ενός κτηρίου 10 βήματα από την πιο ζωντανή πλατεία της πόλης την puerta de sol. Έχει ανελκυστήρα, κα υποδοχή ανοιχτή όλο το 24ωρο. Καθαρό και άνετο με καλή ηχομόνωση.. Πολλά μαγαζιά τριγύρω για καλο φαγητό και άλλες αγορές Συστήνεται ανεπιφύλακτα...

La ubicación es insuperable. A una cuadra del metro Puerta del Sol. El personal es amable. La habitación privada muy limpia. El baño un poco pequeño, pero no tan pequeño si comparamos con otros baños de Europa. La cama muy cómoda. Se escuchaba gente en los bares de abajo en lunes, pero nada que no permitiera dormir. En general, muy recomendable.

Localização extremamente central, não tem como ser melhor, mas se você busca uma região silenciosa, não é uma boa opção. Atendimento impecável do início ao fim. Recepção 24h. Pude acessar o quarto bem antes do horário do check-in - isso foi incrível! Limpeza impecável em todos os ambientes. Pude guardar as bagagens após o check-out. Quarto pequeno, mas ok para um viajante solo. Instalações do quarto ok, com mesa, cadeira, cofre e um pequeno guarda-roupa. Cama confortável e roupa de cama/banho satisfatória. Como recomendação, sugiro colocarem tapete antiderrapante no local do banho (quase sofri uma queda perigosa) e um cesto de lixo no quarto. Em geral, pelo preço, vale a pena!

The room is basic but very clean & tidy property. Very friendly & helpful staff. We stayed 2 nights. It’s in a neighborhood with lots of bars and restaurants & was very noisy, tough to sleep with drunk people right outside the window all night long (mid week! ) No complaints other than the noisy neighborhood.

O Hostal Esmeralda oferece um ambiente aconchegante com cama confortável e lençóis agradáveis. Destacamos a limpeza impecável do quarto e do banheiro. A localização é um ponto forte: super central e perto de tudo! O quarto é confortável (embora um pouco pequeno) e bem equipado, com ar-condicionado e aquecedor. O banheiro também é pequeno, mas funcional. O único ponto que notamos é a oportunidade de melhorar a proatividade da recepção em termos de boas-vindas e auxílio, como visto em outros hotéis. No geral, uma estadia muito positiva.

24-hour reception. Safe to stay. Friendly and welcoming staff. Room is clean. Location is perfect. But the issue is that the room is not soundproof. Locating right above the bars and restaurants implies it's super noisy esp at night, which the noise goes till 5am. Another issue is that seems the building's pipe would create noise when others are using water, as I often heard the pipe's noise at midnight.

Struttura situata in centro , a pochi passi dalla fermata metro di Sol. La zona è molto movimentata , a qualsiasi ora del giorno e della notte, ma l insonorizzazione nel complesso è discreta. Le camere sono molto datate, il bagno molto piccolo e necessiterebbe di un restiling. L accoglienza ottima , personale cordiale. Nel complesso però la struttura non vale il prezzo pagato per il pernottamento ( poco piu di 100 euro a notte)

The staff wss so friendly and helpful. There was an assortment of restaurants to chose from and you could walk to so many attractions from the hostel. You are in the very center of everything. The only complaint I had was that the delightful little street turned into a consistent roar of talking and laughing that lasted throughout the night. It was hard to sleep without ear plugs.... You will find them on the nightstand.

Excellent location in the centre of Madrid. A little cumbersome with the process of leaving the key at the front desk but it felt safe and the reception staff is always friendly and helpful. It can get a little noisy at night at times but that's part of the location being so close to everything.

It's a very centrally located hostal, the staff is very helpful, and the front desk is manned 24 hours a day. The main downside is the bar below because it can be a tad noisy until the wee hours of the morning. The internet was at times unreliable although they gave me access to another network.

É um tipo de hospedagem bastante comum em Madri (Hostal). O custo x benefício é muito bom. A instalação fica localizada bem no centro de Madri, perto de tudo: locais históricos, parques, metrôs, lojas, teatros, mercados... enfim, tudo o que um viajante precisa. O quarto é simples, mas a cama é confortável e o banho é bom. Gostei muito e recomendo para quem quer uma hospedagem turistica sem gastar muito.
