Hostal Tokio

Good location, big room and clean.

Very cost-effective place; central, clean rooms, free toothbrushes and combs. It was the weekend and there was a club on the ground floor of the building so I could hear a bit of bass coming through the building. Not loud through.

I was disorganized and didn't book a room till the last minute so I paid over $100 US for this tiny room, that being said the owner was very nice and the place was clean and tidy. Coffee machine in the lobby. It's on the 2nd (or 1st if your European) floor of a 6 floor building, really a hostel or pension. The owner (or manager) down the hallway like we were in a private home. So it felt homy and very welcoming like a bed and breakfast without the breakfast. I would suggest it if the price fits your budget. I've never experienced a hotel or hostel in a building with other hostels and apartments, but again, it was very comfortable, just a bit small. Great location very near Chueca.

We got a deal for $38 per night here at Hostal Tokio. The reception was friendly, we were able to check in early, and the rooms were clean, spacious, and conveniently located to tourist sights, restaurants, and grocery stores. Only downsides were that the shower head holder was broken, and that the wifi was spotty depending on what room you were in - we happened to be in a room at the end of the hall, just barely out of range.

The room was old and the walls were chipping off, theres no kitchen and not even a kettle in the room. The "courtyard view" is not of a courtyard but of a dirty square in the middle of four walls about 2 meters apart. The shower room looked new and nice but on the first night was no hot water in the shower, only luke warm. The room is very dull and tiny. The receptionist and workers are lovely though. Good location.
