Hostal Ballesta

very good position in the city centre, very clean, new, nice hotel

thin walls, you could hear all the sounds - very noisy shower from next rooms at 2am, disturbing lift sounds,

Very clean room, hotel have been renovated. Nice bathroom, TV in the room. Very close to Gran Via.

Staff hardly speak English. The hotel surrounding in not nice.

Almost nothing, just the location near Gran Via

The street in which this hostel is located in is full of cabarets, prostitutes, bars etc. I think that this street can be very dangerous. Pavements were covered in vomits, there were drunk people shouting on the street all night, it was impossible to sleep properly with the balcony door opened and the room was very hot. The receptionist lady smelled of alcohol and was not very polite.

The staff was nice and the rooms were clean.

The site didn't mention that the hostal is situated in a bad neighborhood, with prostitutes on the street, it has no parking and the nearest one is very expensive (26 Euro/day), the rooms have no air conditioning so we couldn't sleep because of the heat and the noise from the club across the street.

Very clean, excellent value for money.

Location - it appears to be in the middle of the Red Light District!
