Many shops walking distance and steps away from the metro. It could be a loud neighborhood at night. Staff were great with a 24/7 night watch.

Way too expensive for the type of place. We were on a non-smoking room and the smell of cigarette was all over the room. You can hear the noice from the street so we couldnt rest well.

We stayed at Motel Lavapiés for two nights. Here’s my review: Location: The location is convenient, close to many shops and restaurants, and within a 15-20 minute walk to more vibrant areas. Facilities: We booked two rooms with the expectation of a shared bathroom between them, but it turned out the bathroom was shared by all the rooms on the floor. If you’re particular about hygiene, this might not be the best option. The rooms themselves are average, and there is a shared fridge and microwave available for all guests. Noise: The most frustrating part of the stay was the noise. Both nights were filled with loud noises and shouting, which made it difficult to sleep.

Don’t stay there

Don’t stay there! This so called hotel is the worst one I’ve ever been in. It’s smelly and sticky. It has cockroaches and other insects in its rooms. The rooms are not clean and you get dirty sheets in bed. The rooms at the basement has no open windows. You get no shampoo and no hairdryer or other things you need when you travel.

Avoid if possible

The bed, room and furniture were dirty and in bad repair. The room was tiny. The bed filled 90% of it. The staff, whilst friendly, were a bit intrusive in the room, actually walking in on my friend as she was going to bed and I was in the bathroom. We didn't get large towels, only tiny ones and when asked for large ones, we were at first ignored and then told they'd be left in the cupboard. We found some drinking glasses that were caked in grime, and nothing to wash them with. The bed had some drops of red on it, we prayed wasn't blood. The street outside was noisy, which doesn't usually bother us but it seemed the window didn't close properly. The location was pretty good, but I think for the money paid, you could definitely get a better place.

do not visit this hotel

I had booked a double room, however the hotel has most of the room in the basement (level -1) and then you have a tiny window. If you open that, passers-by walking on the sidewalk can throw everything in. And a dog that wants to urinate just does so in your room. Very strange situation. In the bathroom it smelled enormously of sewer air. The lock of the bathroom door was broken so I had to fold a piece of paper many times to keep the door closed because of the stench, see photo. Also killed a cockroach. Bed was very uncomfortable, there is a shelf with a thin mattress on it. Because the room was so uncomfortable, I asked for another room immediately upon arrival. I was offered a room without my own shower/toilet and I didn't want that. So back to that first chamber. Officially it is a 1* hotel but that is definitely one star too many!

I would not recommend this place to anyone who is older and travelling alone. What is shown in the photos does not represent the reality. I had booked a double room with an attached bathroom and paid 150 euros. I was shocked to see the size of the room. There was no ventilation. It was below the level of the road and you could hear cars and people walking past. I had no option but to check out and look for another place as there was no way I could sleep in an airless room in a noisy neighbourhood. As I said, perhaps for the young, rooms like this are fine. But they are not a good choice for an older person. And the charges are too high for a room like that.

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCIA

Experiencia horrible, 0 recomendable La habitación era un zulo bajo tierra sin ventilación alguna, no se podía entrar sin que te dieran arcadas del olor Las paredes llenas de humedades, telarañas en el techo, polvo por las esquinas y los muebles del año de la polca. Nos aparecieron varias cucarachas en la habitación tanto vivas como muertas. El baño desprendía un terrible olor a cañerías. La nevera no enfriaba, el aire acondicionado no hacia efecto, y los armarios tenían una capa de polvo de 2 cm. Instalaciones nefastas. Para poder entrar había que llamar a un timbre y que te abrieran la puerta de arriba desde recepción , que en teoría había servicio 24 horas, pero una vez tuvimos que esperar hasta 40 min porque no había nadie para abrirnos y luego no nos dieron explicación alguna ni recibimos disculpas. 2 noches viviendo entre mugre y condiciones insalubres, si sanidad pasara inspección a estas habitaciones cerraba el negocio. Falta de seguridad, por no hablar del barrio, que cada vez que salíamos temíamos por nuestra vida y nuestras pertenencias. Experiencia para no repetir, por no hablar del precio desorbitado que hemos pagado por habitar en un ecosistema similar al que tendríamos en un alcantarillado. Las cucarachas debajo de los muebles que nos encontramos la segunda noche fue el colmo….

We arrived around 6:00 PM after a 20-hour trip from the U.S. with my 10-year-old son, exhausted and jet-lagged, hoping to rest before our 9:00 PM tickets to The Lion King theater show. Unfortunately, we were given a basement room with an overwhelming odor of dampness and sewage. We requested a room change, but were told none were available. The only option provided was a single room upstairs without a private bathroom, despite our booking being for a double room with en-suite. No refund or discount was offered despite the downgrade. The lack of support during such a difficult travel day was deeply disappointing. I’ve stayed in many places around the world, and this was sadly one of the worst experiences I’ve had. I would not recommend this property.

I have stayed in hotels much better for half the price of this hotel. The room smells like a sewer. They don't include shampoo, the neighborhood is not safe at night. Many hostile illegal migrants and drunks. At night I can hear on the street, fighting and bottles being broken. Trust me when i tell you to spend a little more, and get yourself a better hotel. The sewer smell in the room coming from the bathroom gave me headaches and terrible sleep. I will never return to this hotel.

Traté de poner buena voluntad, porque algunos comentarios eran terribles. No es un desastre, pero lo peor es que sale mucho olor de los desagues del baño. Y el precio, realmente es muy caro para lo que ofrece. La zona no es agradable, aunque parece segura.

This hotel has horrible WiFi!! There were two routers to connect to and neither had internet. I stayed there two nights and couldn’t find restaurants, directions, no email, not even texts would go through! I asked the front desk about it and they just said “everybody is using it at once which is why it’s slow “. That’s not true because I tried around the clock and had to go to bars and restaurants for wifi
