C. H. Chelo

Clean accommodation, nice hosts.

The check in process was easy, and we were greeted by the friendly owner. She made sure our stay was perfect.

A good place to stay in Madrid. Very close to La Gran Via and to a lot of restaurants and supermarkets. Rooms are clean and comfortable beds to sleep and by the day explore the city.

Friendly service

The hotel is well located. The room was small, but well outfitted; same for the bathroom. There was a problem with the hall lights, which are activated by motion detectors. The hall lights nearest to my room did not consistently turn on when I needed them to.

Central location is just 2 minutes from the Grand Vía and the main streets near

Everything was good except that the bathroom is very small.

Hostal Chelo is a good budget option if you are looking for a clean, safe room steps from the Gran Via and central attractions. Maria and her team are gracious hosts and keep the rooms neat and clean. Wifi was free and fast I will echo what other reviewers have said. The rooms and hallways are very compact, so there isn't much space for luggage, etc. The bathrooms are compact as well, and require some agility to get in and out of the tub. There is an elevator, but you still need to walk up or down a half flight of steps. Overall, I was satisfied with my stay. The biggest issues I had with the Chelo are not necessarily completely within the control of the Hostal. The walls are paper-thin between rooms, so you can hear every loud conversation your neighbors are having. Also, pretty common in older, multi-story, buildings, sewer gas would occasionally create a bad smell from the bathrooms, making it pretty necessary to keep the windows open . If location and budget are your top concerns, the Chelo is a good option if you are willing to accept the trade-offs.

Well located budget Hostal in Madrid centre. Helpful owners. Might be a little cramped for some. Good value.
