| The San Lorenzo hotel is conveniently situated close to the centre of Madrid and underground stations. It is set-back from the main road, resulting in less traffic noise, though what outside noise there is, is muffled by good window shutters, which also keep the room nice and dark for sleeping. There is free internet in reception which proved useful, although on occasion it was monopolised by people who must believe that updating their Facebook site is hugely important. Clean hotel, pleasant staff, I would recommend it to couples but perhaps not people with a baby as the room we stayed in was a little cramped. I would stay there again. |

| Well situated, staff very friendly and helpful. Limited internet access - one computer for guests and often had to wait. However, it was free of charge |

| The hotel is 5 mins walk away from Gran Via metro stop in the Centre of Madrid. Its location means easy to walk to all attractions - however those who don't want to walk the Madrid Vision bus stop is 1 min away on Gran Via. You can buy you Madrid Vision passes from the hotel reception. Hotel was very clean and was happy that the airconditioning worked. There is a small shop where you can buy large bottles of water for 1 euro which is handy for the day. We didn't have breakfast at the hotel as there was a great cafe 'Vitamina' 2 mins away - great coffee and bacon roll for 2.50 euro! |

| We are french people. It was our first stay in Madrid, A family with daughter. It was a little bit difficult to express ourself in spanish because french language is very few spoken. The Hotel was easy to access when you take the bus Hotel with aerocity. The metro is very convenient but you can visit the main touristic spots on foot within 40 minutes. The town is very busy and exciting, the people are talkative and joyfull. There are plenty restaurants and cafe the pedestrians can see beautiful mansions buildings and museums. We recommend this trip. |

| Lovely hotel in a good location. Breakfast a bit uninteresting but a lovely communal area with free access to internet. Good value, though there are so many options in Madrid that there are some even better! |

| Reception staff very helpful and knowledgable, senior man is fluent in many languages. Our room was spacious and very clean, but no view - however it was very quiet and we slept well each of the 4 nights. We had room only, so didn't eat there. The are plenty of Tapas Bars and a lovely restaurant called El Original nearby. It was near to the Metro and very central to walk easily to many of the main attractions. The hotel is pleasantly appointed with nice furniture and an Internet facility, which is available 24hrs. We would have no hesitation in recommending this Hostel, which is more like a good hotel. |

| The hotel wasn't very hard to find. It was in the center of the city which was nice. We didn't have to pay for any transportation besides getting to and from the airport. |

| The only complaint for this hostel is that there was a construction site going across the street when i was there, it was very noisy. Plus there is a very cute bar underneath, but that also kept the noise level up all night. Otherwise i loved it. |

| We where in Madrid for the Marathon and picked the San Lorenzo because of its close location to the start and finish off the marathon.The hotel and the room was clean and comfortable,though it would have been nicer if the room had been a little bigger.The Lorenzo is a great location with friendly local tapas bars just around the corner and a number of very good restaurants.Only thing that did,nt come up to scratch was breakfast not worth the money! |

| Tutto OK. Buon albergo, l'unica cosa e che è vero che siamo nella CHUECA e che c'e' molto casino (l'avevo scelto non a caso)e che ci sono i doppi infissi che isolano il casino, e quindi si cerca di dormire di giorno, ma le pulizie nelle stanze sono veramente RUMOROSSISSIME!! |

| If you need a room for spending the night whilst visiting Madrid, this is a perfect hotel located in the center of everything in town. Everything is close from here. I will come back here next time i need Madrid... |
