Hostal El Peine

Arrived at check-in to find out my room booking had been cancelled, after travelling from the other side of the world - tired, stressed, with little Spanish, for a booking I'd had for months. Not sure how the manager lives his life, but I then had to beg the front desk assistant to help me find somewhere else. Hotels.com finally sorted out the issue I had, as the hotel claimed my card was not working (someone had fraudulently used my card). The hotel manager is an idiot, he doesn't even know how hotels.com works, saying they couldn't hold the room for me - I'd booked it 5 months previously!!! - to pay at the hotel when I arrived! DO NOT STAY HERE, AS YOU HAVE NO GUARANTEE THE ROOM WILL BE THERE WHEN YOU ARRIVE!

It was the cheapest thing I found to spend the night while on our road trip in Spain. The room was clean, the bathroom was big and clean too. Free WiFi, is located in the downtown so plenty of restaurant, convenient store etc... the downside was that there was no AC. Thank God for the ceiling fan, cause it was sooo hot, of course it was the middle of August and I almost die :(

Chose this hostel simply as it was the cheapest. Was sightseeing for most of the day and night and so only used the hostel as a bed. Basic room, with fan although room smelt a bit of smoke. Fan provided in Room and Room was clean. Shared bathroom was very clean and big, 2 per about 6 rooms and never had to wait whilst I was there. 5-10 minute walk to train station that goes to Madrid centre About 5 minute walk from bus that frequently goes to the airport Free wi-fi included also although I had to stand by the door for it to work Lady who works there is helpful although if you don't speak Spanish you will need Google translate Overall very good for the price, individual room, clean, big bathroom, and WiFi would recommend if your travelling/sightseeing on a budget
