The Central House Lavapiés

Great hotel with a cosy, welcoming, and stylish lobby and citizen area — a really cool place to stay. The hotel is in a quiet yet very central neighborhood, close to the main attractions, which makes it an excellent base for exploring the city. It is especially convenient if you are traveling by car, with a secure nearby car park and direct lift access to the lobby. Wi-Fi worked very well, and the overall atmosphere of the hotel is fun and modern. A small improvement could be made in the bathroom. Towels are provided for an additional charge, and it would be better if they were included. A hair dryer would also be useful in the room, and a few more basic bathroom necessities could be supplied. Apart from that, everything was great. I would definitely recommend this hotel and would consider staying here again on my future trips.

I had a great time staying at this hostel! The atmosphere was super friendly and welcoming — it was really easy to meet people and feel at home. Everything was clean and well-organized, and the common areas were comfortable to hang out in. The staff were amazing — very helpful, kind, and always available for any questions. The location was perfect, close to the main attractions and public transport. I would definitely come back and recommend this hostel to anyone looking for a nice and social place to stay!

Over priced, charge extra for everything. Luggage storage extortionate! Towel far overpriced. No self catering facilities. Ceiling in the bedroom wasn’t even finished. Staff coming into the room way early before any check out waking the room up. To say check in isn’t till 3 and check out 11! Unacceptable. The place was clean and the staff were good. Aside from being told that it costs them such a high price to have the towels cleaned. And they’re not making any money on the towels. That was insulting till I put him right and he eventually agreed. A bit arrogant to be honest. Anyways not impressed by all the extra charges especially given the price of the place. Wasn’t special enough to warrant the he price

Wonderful staff, comfortable rooms, and great vibes! They give you a free drink voucher for the bar next door which was a pleasant surprise. They have laundry amenities, coffee downstairs, and bar crawls scheduled most nights of course. A nice balance between play and rest, so you don't have to go out if you don't want to. Would definitely consider visiting this hotel again next time 😊

Wifi is weak and often not able to connect to my mobile phone and laptop in the room. The smart tv in the room cannot connect to the wifi too, without wifi what's the point of having a smart tv? Providing workable wifi is a basic neccesity that all paid accomodations should have!

Not been to too many hostels, but this probably takes the #1 spot. The lobby/gathering area is so spacious, open concept, seats all around, pple could easily mingle. A small courtyard in between 2 blocks of accom. Beds are clean and comfortable, curtains available for your own privacy and lights bright enough alongside the bed. Location-wise, really central to the few places i wanted to see, all within walking distance(or perhaps it was the location that selected the sights for me).

Absolutely loved my stay here. Rooms were very spacious and clean, with blinds for each of the beds, giving us plenty of privacy; two showers in designated rooms with sliding doors; many very comfortable public spaces, including a wonderful rooftop terrace. Perfect location. Very cheap. 10/10.

Please be aware that this hostel does not have a communal kitchen! I feel like it was not stated clearly enough on the booking sites - especially considering that this is usually a base line service you’d expect at a hostel. People in my room were meeting in the beds to prepare and share a meal, which goes to show how unpractical this setup is. Also the room I stayed at is small and there is almost no place to put your luggage. The bathroom is in the room (obviously there is a door) and that makes it kinda noisy during the night + in the morning that is not functional - a bigger communal sanitary space would be much better. Other that that it’s fine! The beds are comfortable and clean and the curtains provide privacy. The chill lounge is nice too. If you like commercial hostels this might be for you.
