Filthy. Expedia should be ashamed to list this property. I will be asking for refund!!
Hostel Matheu is a part of a bigger hostel chain called Victoria 4. You still need to check in at that location if you want to stay at the other hostel. The staff are very friendly and know Spanish and English. The location itself is around a bunch of restaurants and shopping. It is also about a 12 minute walk to the palace. I only got to stay here for one night, but it did the trick!
Great Location and very accessible to the Puerta del Sol

Very basic room in the heart of the gothic quarter. Very easy access areas around Madrid. Only negative is the noise I'd say. Our room faced the street which was noisy all night long with people, a dance club, trash pick up etc going on. But for the price and location it was good for us; take a noise machine with you and you'll be alright

Muy buen lugar
Muy buena ubicación! Habitación muy básica, pero limpia, un poco ruidoso dentro del hostal se escucha cuando la gente camina por el pasillo, pero seguro me volvería a quedar allí mismo.
If you want to experience "La Fiesta" around the Madrid area, this is the place to stay. If you are planning to rest, you better look for another option. This hostal is located around a lot of rest & bars and you will be hearing, music, people talking and laughing loud all night even if the doors and windows are closed. For the purpose of my trip, the place met my needs.

If you want a quiet area don’t stay here
Was just 1 min from puerta de sol was very centric
At first, was put off but worked for us. When got there, climbed stairs with luggage (no elevator). Then told to get key from another place - argh! Luckily, hotel is steps aways. Room was small - 3 twin beds but clean. Place is in middle of many restaurants and festive actions. double windows dampened noise. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Liked: Cleanliness
Well maintained property in the heart of the Puerto Sol area, close to everything, with friendly staff. Met our basic needs, but wouldn't be in my top list of choices on a return trip. Only 1 key for a room designed for 4 adults; AC only so-so; and WIFI never worked.
I booked the Mattheu but was sent to hotel Victoria then stayed at a different hotel entirely
Breakfast was down the street
Walls were thin
Neighborhood very noisy!
Disappointed with stay
