At Hostal Los Arcos, travellers consistently highlight the extremely central location near Sol and major sights, while overall feedback is mixed on comfort and infrastructure, reflecting a straightforward budget stay with trade-offs that matter to some visitors.
Many guests find rooms and bathrooms tiny, sometimes windowless, with thin walls, temperature control or hot water inconsistencies, and occasional maintenance issues. Cleanliness is often praised, though several reviews cite strong cigarette smoke odors and, less commonly, dirty linens. Service ranges from very kind and accommodating to unhelpful or disorganized, and there is no elevator with worn stairs noted by multiple reviewers. Expect a basic, budget stay in an unbeatable location, but be prepared for compact spaces and limited comforts.

I really like that I was able to get in late night. What I don’t line was that I have to go up stairs because is a old building and doesn’t have an elevator.

La recepcionista fue muy amable, la habitacion estaba limpia y el baño también. El hostal olia muchisimo a cigarro y humedad, se oye todo lo que pasa en la calle, en el rellano y en las otras habilitaciones, la entrada al hotel da miedo porque las escaleras son de madera vieja que da la sensacion de que se caera en cualquier momento.

Pésimo. Una estafa. Sin aire acondicionado. Sucio. Toallas sucísimas. Inodoro sucio. Y la ducha peor. La recepcionista te mira de arriba a abajo como si fueses delincuente (cuando la delincuente parece ella). Fue un espanto de calor, en pleno agosto. Viajo todas las semanas y este cuchitril que se hace oasar por hostal es de lo peor que me he encontrado en 3 años en Madrid (viajo todas las semanas). Por favor, no vayan

El lugar limpio. Silencioso. Muy bien ubicado y excelente conectividad con el metro, buses y taxis. Solo para dormir. El cuarto bastante pequeño. Sin A/C, si tiene ventilador de techo. Caluroso de noche en verano. No tiene ascensor. Segundo piso. Sale cargar la maleta en las escaleras. Responde a los sobreprecios de Madrid. En otra ciudad, no vale lo que se pagó.

Customer Service was great, Magda was friendly and attentive. The building itself is OK but the moment you enter the reception area of the hostal you can smell cigarette smoke. The smell in the rooms can be stronger although there are windows in the room, the smell prevails. I personally had a headache the nights we stayed. My sinuses were congested and my throat was extremely dry.

Es un hostal sencillo, un poco anticuado, pero suficiente para una estancia breve. La habitación individual es bastante pequeña, con una venta y puerta con vista a un patio interior sin persiana y con cortina que no oscurece la habitación cuando amanece. Cuenta con baño completo muy pequeño, en la habitación hay cama, un par de repisas a modo de mesillas y mesa, percheros en la parte de atrás de la puerta y en una pared junto a la cama, tiene calefacción que está puesta en todo momento, el baño tiene toallas, jabón y gel, y esta todo muy limpio.

This Hostal is in the perfect location for the city center. Sol center is a 3 min walk if that, plaza mayor & Mercado San Miguel are also within a 5 minute walk. There’s plenty of shopping, bars, and restaurants around. The hostal host was very very kind, we had a shower with hot water, comfy blankets & it was very clean. The only “bad” thing I would say is that the walls are thin so you do hear people coming & going & can sometimes hear conversation but it was quiet at night and safe. We spent 2 weeks traveling in Spain & began my trip in Madrid at this Hostal & also ended my trip at this Hostal & felt like I got the most of the city because of the location. It’s a good choice!

A couple of things I would suggest to improve your customer's experience is to first ensure that the photos of the rooms are accurate. The room I checked in was not the same room in the photo on the website. Second, perhaps put in the exact dimensions of the bed. The bed was too small to fit an adult comfortably. The room was rather claustrophobic, to say the least.

They messed up our reservation. Of the 3 night stay, we had a teeny-tiny room with a single bed & no A/C offered to us for the first night because they weren't expecting us! I had the reservation in hand to prove that we should have been expected. After an hour of deliberation on their part, they reimbursed us 200 Euros for the first night. They would not allow my husband to sleep on the couch in the front , so he had to be in the same room with me on a little tiny bed . He got no sleep and I got very little. We told them we were leaving the next morning and expected a full refund. They refused . They said it was our decision not to stay there the next two nights when there would be a two-bedroom room available. We would have left the first night, except there was an event in Madrid and nothing was available. I will say, the person that was staffed that night was very apologetic.

Attitude of you didn't book with us so take it up with expedia, shocking worse hotel I've ever gone to, just walked out and found an alternative right opposite, Il Castillo, ten times better in every way, and same price, I'm now fighting for a refund.

We spent 2 weeks traveling in Spain & began my trip in Madrid at this Hostal & also ended my trip at this Hostal & felt like I got the most of the city because of the location. It’s a good choice!
This Hostal is in the perfect location for the city center. Sol center is a 3 min walk if that, plaza mayor & Mercado San Miguel are also within a 5 minute walk. There’s plenty of shopping, bars, and restaurants around. The hostal host was very very kind, we had a shower with hot water, comfy blankets & it was very clean. The only “bad” thing I would say is that the walls are thin so you do hear people coming & going & can sometimes hear conversation but it was quiet at night and safe.

Nette kamer midden in de stad. Locatie dus perfect, helaas een verouderde hotel met roestige wasbak. Receptie zeer beperkt en geen mogelijkheid om te ontbijten. Verder alle basis voorzien eigen aanwezig. Niet echt roelstoel vriendelijk

It was clean, the room was very small but had fans which kept it pleasant for sleeping, the bed was comfortable, the shower was efficient, although also very small. There were two flights of stairs up to the entrance which was ok for us because we were traveling light. It was reasonable for the central location; good restaurants, short walk to the Prado and other museums, but not for large people or people with lots of luggage.

Los Arcos is a great location right in the Heart of Sol Plaza and Plaza Mayor... Gran Vía is only 7 minutes away. I recommend this place for cleanliness, great staff, and a walking distance to many restaurants and coffee shops.
