After British Airways cancelled our flights, we found ourselves angry, tired, hungry, and with no…read moreplace to go, besides the airport. The only helpful person in Barajas was the information desk guy: he told us he knew of a cheap hostel, located close to the airport, and with free pick up and drop off (although you better be strong enough to haul your luggage inside the van, because the driver can't), all for around 50-60 euros/night (it actually cost about 70-75 euros/person.) The building is essentially a big, 3-level mansion in a nice and quiet neighborhood. There is a tiny "mall" (see my other reviews) with a few places to eat, and a market. The hostel is new and very modern -- ask how to open the door and turn on the amenities with your key card before you run off into your room. The bathroom is modern, the beds are comfortable and clean (although for a double, the beds were so close to each other, you'd think it was a full bed), and the staff was nice. The room was simple but modern, however, the walls could have used some paint. The halls were very dark, and noisy. Everything was going fine until the construction noises started going off; our flight left at 6:45 am, and we told the staff that this meant that we'd have to go to bed at around 7ish. I understand that if a room needs a new toilet asap, it's going to get the new toilet...but why did the construction start at like 4 pm? They had all day to finish it, and not bother the patrons at night time with the noises. This went on til 9 pm. I'm talking LOUD banging, drilling, etc. Best part? The noises stopped, and suddenly, I hear water splashing really close to me...turns out, the construction was right above our room, and they created a leak that ran directly down into our bathroom, from the ceiling...water on top of the toilet, towels, sink... EXTREMELY annoyed by now, I call the front desk to tell them the bathroom is wet with a leak. The guy says he will come up to clean it up. 10 minutes later, still no guy. He calls me from the front desk to ask me if he can come up to clean it up....huh? Obviously? Did he not just say he would...?? He comes up, knocks, and asks, yet again, if he can come in to clean it. I snap and say obviously, and tell him that the noises are ridiculous for how late it is in the day. He says there haven't been any noises in the past 2-3 hours, and I tell him that he's wrong...the noises stopped maybe 20 minutes before he came up. He mops it up (sink and toilet are still wet, though), apologizes and leaves. After that, we had very loud next door neighbors...but somehow we managed to sleep a few hours before our alarm went off at 3 am. With that said, this place is more like a bed and breakfast, since it is far from a metro station and Madrid city. I'd recommend it if you have an early flight, as the hostel van leaves every hour, all day/night.

My parents and I had a horrible 2 day flight delay due to the Vueling airline strike. After a 15…read morehour day standing in customer service lines at the Barcelona airport we finally got to Madrid and were recommended by the airline staff to stay here. Los Coronales is a hostel, so obviously it is not fancy, but it was comfortable and pleasant with a kind and helpful staff. The neighborhood is quiet and lovely. The manager recommended a fantastic restaurant a few blocks away. The meal was actually the best we had on our entire trip. It's true the location is not close to the center of town, but a short Uber ride gets you close to the Parque del Buen Retiro where there are museums and restaurants in walking distance. The shuttle service to the airport was a great expense saver. The drivers were helpful with luggage and friendly. The Hostel also has a continental style breakfast for 5 Euro, and the espresso machine is outstanding. It was such a relief to stay here after such a horrible experience with Vueling airline. Thank you Coronales!

The amenities were great such as the communal kitchen and on Tuesdays and Sundays they offer free dinner with a purchase of any drink at their bar which was lively every night. I ordered a Fanta and got a plate of pesto pasta, which was glorious because I had just came into the city and was super tired and didn't feel like searching the area for food. . I stayed in a 12 bed female dorm. There were trunks underneath the bed for storage that you could put a combination or padlock on, and the bed itself had a nightlight, USB charging ports and little net storage pocket for essentials. Like most hostels in Europe, most of them double up as hotels so for a premium price you can also have your own room. . It is centrally located with plenty of bars, restaurants, gift shops, and tobacco stores nearby. The closest Metro station is less than a 10 minute walk (either Sol or Gran Via). . For two nights, we paid €40 so definitely ideal if you are on a budget. They take a €10 deposit for each room key, which is returned to you within 24 hours of checking out ON TIME. If you check out late, they keep the deposit for your room key. The bathrooms were mostly clean, but a few of the sinks didn't have hot water and in the dead of winter that could be really detrimental on the hands. The best time to catch the bathrooms is early morning. I would say before 8 AM when they've just been cleaned. One con about this place is they charge €6 to rent towels and they sell basic essentials, such as soap, shampoo, etc. Every other hostel I stayed in Europe offers towels and toiletries free of charge. . Nonetheless, CATS was cool. They served their purpose and if you wanna be in the heart of the city without city prices, it's a great place to stay.

The check in was easy and quick. We got a double room with a window. It was all in all a breezy process. The room was comfortable and the ac worked great. All in all a great experience. There were only two negatives. The pillows were like rocks. It was actually really funny when we picked them up for the first time we started throwing them at each other like bags of rice. It was unbelievable how heavy they were. They probably used those pillows to stone witches during the inquisition. We had the room next to the elevator and it was a bit noisy at night when people were checking in. Some lady with high heels kept pacing in front of our door. But hey thats not the hostals fault. I would definitely stay there a second time, even with their cement pillows.
