Hostal Helena 9th floor, Room 10, private room with private bathroom, 2 people.

The location of the place is great, very close to the metro station, and crazy close to lots of restaurants and stores. Walking distance from Plaza Mayor and Puerta del Sol. The room was simple but very comfrotable, we had a great wifi signal, we had a fan in the room as Madrid was aroud 28 C in September 6th, the bathroom and shower were clean. The hostal is located in the 9th floor which gave us a very nice view of the city (see picture).

As others have mentioned the building only has 1 elevator that fits only 4 people (bags included) at a time which defenitely is a time waster as you can literally spend 15 mins waiting for an available elevator to take up or down your bags. They should defenitely have on their page here on booking that checking is on floor 2, that way you dont waste time waiting for the elevator or taking the stairs all the way to floor 9, just to find out you need to check in downstairs.

Very recommended, very close to the living city of Madrid and best value for your money.

Stayed in Hostal Helena in May 2016 for 2 nights. Great price, nice and cheap.
This is the first time I have stayed in a hostel as I usually stay in a hotel, however my room was very nice. Everything was clean and in working order, nothing was broken and there was no damage or anything wrong in my room!
Ideal location, in the centre of Madrid with a metro station right outside the front door, and plenty of shops and restaurants within a few yards.
You get free Wi-fi during the stay also.

You get what you pay for!

It's just only for those who wants to be in the center of Madrid, next to the train station, all the big stores, lot of bars and restaurants, for 1 night or maybe 2. Forget the nicer room, with spacious bathroom, no, if it is this you want please search for other place, if you don't matter, well reserve on this.

In Gran Vía, just that....

The rooms are really not clean, the blankets are obviously dirty with visible stains. It was a cold day in Madrid when we visited it and the window would not close tightly and cold air was blowing into the room. Bathroom was sort of unpleasant. You could feel like you are sleeping somewhere in the open as all sort of noises were coming from everywhere. You could feel like the people from the  next room are in your room. Very very unpleasant and not clean. The only best thing was the view from the terrace. And the location being in the top center of Grand Via. But defenitely not worth the money!

Dirty, noisy cold

We stayed in hostel helena 2 which was clean and comfortable but on our return we stayed in hostel helena on the 9th floor. The hostel is of very poor quality, it is not clean, it smells, I found hairs on towels and the shared bathroom is disgusting! I don't expect much from hostels but at least to be able to sleep which you can't do due to very loud noise coming from everywhere. Please don't book this hostel you will be very badly disappointed.
