Hostal Abel Victoriano

I liked that it was affordable and that you still had the option of your own space. The staff were very friendly and helpful especially me being a non Spanish speaker in a city where most only speak Spanish. I want to thank the reception staff also who went out of her way to help me secure a room for an additional night after being in a difficult situation (non related to the accomidation). Her support and kind approach really made the situation alot easier for me being alone in the city travelling.

The room was exceptionally clean, with a comfortable bed that made for a great stay. While the bathroom was a bit small, it was spotless and well-equipped with plenty of towels and toilet paper. The room had a lovely, fresh scent and featured a small balcony overlooking the street, which added to its charm. I felt very comfortable throughout my stay—it had everything a solo traveler needs for a few days in Madrid. The location was excellent, just a short distance from the main central areas, making it convenient to explore the city.

The location is absolutely perfect - very centric but the neighborhood is not the noisiest. I slept very well the whole time. The room was actually pretty spacious for a single room. The bed was quite big, there was a foldable desk/table that was really useful, big TV. There were enough toiletries and toilet paper left in the bathroom before I arrived so I didn't have to ask for more during my 5 night stay.

The hostel is in a great location (almost in the city center). ☺️ Wherever you go, on average, you mostly need 10-30 minutes by foot. If you like to walk instead of using public transport, this hostel is a great choice. Also, nearby, there are a lot of shops and bakeries (some of them work 24 hours), good restaurants and cafes (from cheap to expensive), metro station, etc. Also, the check-in was super fast, and the staff was very polite. ☺️

I’m gonna give them 10 points. This place is one of best city hotels I’ve stayed in. Room was very spacious, I almost felt like I rented an apartment. Everything was very clean and comfortable. They also give you these small sweet treats every day, I thought it was a nice gesture. And it’s right in the middle of Alicante. Just 5-10min walking distance is to all the major attractions. Plenty of restaurants nearby. I didn’t see the owners as we only spoke through the phone, but they seem very friendly and welcoming.
