My wife and I recently stayed at Hostal Luz and liked it. We both speak Spanish, which is a must at Hostal Luz because the two ladies at the front desk (Margarita and Teresa) don't speak English and act annoyed when people speak to them in English. If you speak basic Spanish, you'll get by but if you only speak... More

Stayed here and found it a great experience and lovely homelike environment. Great room, clean and great value overall. Enjoyed my stay in madrid. Further it is located in the heart of the city so very close to many of the attractions around.

A tiny room, very clean and comfortable and very cheap. Wonderful host MARGARITA. We had the use of 3 bathrooms. Located between Calle Arenal and Calle Mayor in the heart of Madrid. What more can you ask for. We walked everywhere. Metro was Opera and 5 mins from Sol. All attractions were a little walk away. B' fast was at... More

Hostal Luz is in a really great location, has great amenities (including free computers to use, free wifi, and free breakfast), and is impeccably clean, but there are a few things to be aware of before you book a room here. First, the woman in charge of the hostel is an older woman who does not speak a word of... More

We booked the hostal last minute and got a good online rate. We were in one of the older rooms which did have some issues. Very noisy floorboards and opposite reception which made for some extra noise. Having said that the reception is closed at 2300hrs so did not disturb during the night. All things considered we were quite happy... More

Our stay in Madrid was made more enjoyable by our stay at Hostal Luz. Great facilities and staff and central to everything. There is metro station very close and it is a great way to get around Madrid and to and from the airport. Thanks Marguerite!

I really can't say enough about this place! Location is terrific, close to sites and several metro stations. Rooms are well-equipped and super clean. Owner Margarita is very friendly, very accommodating and rightfully proud of her fine establishment. Granted, she doesn't speak much English, but I'm the one visiting HER country, so the blame is on me. That's why they... More

The best thing about this place is the location. However, it is a bit hard to locate the premise when we arrived. The sign on the top of the building was broken. The name tag on the door was worn out and can hardly be read. We were lucky that a local who passed by and noticed this group of... More

This hostel left us with nothing but good impressions. Margarita, the owner of the place, is a charming spanish lady, who showed us around personally as we arrived, explained where the nearest tourists attractions are and suggested several good restaurants nearby. Although we don't know spanish at all, it was easy to understand her. Besides, she turned out to be... More
