Babel Guesthouse

Madrid

I stayed in the month of August 2014 and the fact that the central location and close to supermarkets, bus stops and subway facilities greatly facilitated my stay.The room was not very large and had a small terrace at the back of the building, as clean as the shared bathroom.It had air conditioning and very friendly staff.The price was super affordable compared to other guesthouses and hostels.

Excellent skill and precision.

When we arrived there were no more rooms available despite our reservation, so we were moved to a room with an old couple, a room with a barely closed door, holes in the sheets, everything was dirty and in poor condition, photos to support.

It's a scam!

In the city centre, close to everything, quiet rooms. Only complaint would be the amount of toilets. One needed to queue. But considering the cost 20€? this was very good place. Note that it is in third floor and there is no elevator.

Good budget hotel

Clean and well-placed rooms in the centre. Nice staff and very well-arranged, with difficulty in rendering. I recommend. The studios located at 100m are quiet and allow you to sleep well while being in the centre. No need for a car here.

Welcome to the top, staff very arranging

It's fine if you just want to sleep and have a quick shower, the service is fine, there's no sign at the entrance, which gives me some insecurity, you have to call the phone and wait for them to come and open the door, the fridge didn't work, and of course they leave it in the room if it doesn't work, the floor and downstairs doors can sometimes stay open if they don't close carefully, ok that it's cheap, but they could at least clean a little more. The shower and the toilet service is for all guests, so what to do to use it, the toilet stinks for the floor as well.

Dirty and no cartel:

Looking at the photos on their page, it seems like I've been to another hotel, in our rooms we couldn't open the windows, the wooden countertops were stuck in the beds and couldn't be opened.

For the price it has very low.

To take a shower for the manias, you have to be lucky or get up very early. The cleanliness of the room and bathroom leaves much to be desired. It is very central, that was the good thing. In the hostel there is no sign on the street, you have to call the first floor and wait for someone to come down and open the door for you.

The only good thing about the hostel is its situation.

We stayed in a triple room because we were just entering. They ran to one side a wedding bed and put on the other a sofa bed that didn't even have a pillow (he was looking for it to know where and when we said it). There was a table between the two that we had to ask to be carried away because there was almost no space. We had a bathroom with a bathroom included. The bathroom was a shower attached to the wedding bed, along with a refrigerator... The bathroom proper was outdoors. The kitchen was dirty, all dirty and the microwave without a plate where to put things. Generally a horrible experience.

If only the kindness was in the meeting... once we were on the spot we were offered another place to stay but on the debit on the map was well done.

Not too bad!

My husband and I stayed at the Babel Guesthouse a total of three nights. The first night was upon our arrival to Spain, and the last two nights were approximately two weeks later right before we left. The accommodation we received was vastly different during the two stays, but the service was similar on both visits. 

The first night we got there, our room wasn't available, so we were put into an old apartment. It was a pretty nice apartment, considering we were expecting a small room with a shared bath. It had two bedrooms, a private kitchen and bathroom. The gentlemen who met us and took us to the apartment was very nice. 

Our second stay found us again without a room ready. The lady who met us to check in was also very nice, but we walked around to several different properties for probably 45 minutes before a room was found for us. The room was not good. It didn't even have a window. The wifi did not work. The other properties we walked around to were much nicer, but they all had missing keys or were full. 

All in all, it just seemed like the Babel Guesthouse was a little disorganized, but they were nice enough, and it was terribly cheap and pretty well-located. Had the wifi not been out during our second stay, I probably could have given them a higher score.
