Simple, affordable hotel, conveniently located.
The single room is very compact (I'd go as far as saying the photos are misleading), with windows facing the building's ventilation shaft. Although the bed is a bit uncomfortable, the room provides all necessary amenities, and the hostel is conveniently located. It offers good value for the cost.

I really enjoyed my stay here. It’s a great location. Not all the staff speaks English, but some do. They are nice, and were very helpful whenever I had questions. I really liked my stay in Madrid, and Hostal La Fontana helped me enjoy everything!

Very good location but neighborhood not so good. Prostitutes hanging out near entrance at night. The staff was very nice and helpful. Room was tiny And straight out a 1930's movie but ok for a private room in city center.

Gay Madrid !
Roxanna and Ouda were very kind and helpful to us. Very central location to Chueca area, bars, restaurants and shopping. A few minutes to Gran Via where the HopOn HopOff bus stops.

Loved the hotel. The staff was lovely. The rooms were clean. The only problema was that breakfast started too late so we often couldnot take adventage of it because we had to leave early for tourist activities.

Great location, friendly staff. Breakfast could have been better but still OK. All museums, and places to see were in walking distance. Tapas bars, stores for shopping everywhere. My room was a bit small but enough for solo travelers

Modest hostell but brilliant situation
All I needed was in this hostell, situation was important to me. Main street was just behind the corner but nice bittoresk old streets were close too. Breakfast and specially coffee at the hostell was important to me first in the morning. Staff was helpful.

Cheap centrally based hotel
I found this hotel by chance on Expedia website. I liked the look of it , location and the fact that breakfast was included, which is not always the case in hotels in Madrid even those with more stars.
I was given the choice on arrival of a street facing room with a balcony or a courtyard facing one. I chose the street facing as I like the buzz of the street life in Madrid. It was noisy but excellent double glazing dulled everything down and I was pleased with my choice. The street below is busy until very late particularly at weekends due to there being bars, cafes and restaurants.
My room was small but adequate with small en suite facilities. There were no frills, but I not looking for them. Space for hanging clothes was limited and only a shelf for small items..
The heating was very efficient but overwhelming as it is centrally controlled. Even in the cold weather I found it too much. In summer there is a overhead electric fan rather than air con. I tried it and found it to be very efficient a surprisingly quiet.
Breakfast is pre-packed with good quality fresh coffee and hot milk, fresh apples and oranges. It is served from 8.30 onwards but can only accommodate eight people at a time and is served in the hall corridor. I had no problems getting a seat.
The entrance to the hotel is via a large wooden door opened with an electronic card through a magnificent period hallway and is situated on the first floor. There is a small lift.
I thought the hotel was quirky.

Cute little hostel in the heart of busy Madrid
In the heart of Madrid's "Times Square" it's just far enough off the main street where you don't hear noise all night. Breakfast is good to fill up before visiting all the tourist sites. Very clean and close to most subways. Staff was incredibly helpful with check-in and other things we needed during our stay.
