I stayed at the Hostal Mayor at the end of January which clashed with an international conference. Prices at the hotels were expensive but I found this accommodation at very good price. The single room was very small but clean and decent for the night I spent there. It is basic and good for a short stay. For longer overnights it might be better to opt for a larger room at the Hostal.
The staff was friendly and helpful. 

Great location!

Dont let the old building and old neighborhood deter you. Remember everything is old there, and thats why we come here. Expect very friendly service from a sweet little old lady. After one week visit we found the sheets/linens, as well as room very clean. Albeit this room and bath was very small, we found it conveniently located to public transpo, the scenic areas of the city, and surrounded by alot of restaurants, shops and people. If you visit in June expect large crowds and foot traffic in the neighborhood 20 hours of the day. Then the other 4 hours will be noisy street cleaning and garbage collectors, then the delivery trucks/ crews arrive early AM. I recommend wearing ear plugs or as i did, listened to sleep apps with sounds of rain, beaches etc to drown it out. 
have a great trip. 

Small, Cozy, Clean

Unbeatable location, very reasonable rates, and great staff / owners: both the lady and the gentleman running the hostel were kind and welcoming. No breakfast, but hey - you're in the heart of Madrid, it only takes a walk down the stairs to find umpteen great options. Rooms were admittedly slightly cramped and the furniture could have been nicer, but at that price Hostal Mayor is unbeatable.

Great bang for the buck

You will not get a better value room to this standard in Madrid. Location could not be more central. Highly recommended.  I have shifted my long allegiance from the overpriced Sleep’n Atocha to here.    ...

Clean, central, inexpensive

Very well located just off Sol. Small rooms but exceptionally clean and freshly decorated. Everything you need is there - toiletries, hair dryer, towels etc. The lady running the hostel has v little english but is very nice and pleasant. At night it was a little noisy - due to the location and proximity to sol but thats to be expected. I would stay here again and would recommend!

Lovely spot

Just got back from a 2 night stay here and I can't fault the place for the price you pay. 
Don't be put off but the big black door of the entrance or the old style lift. Once inside the hotel on the third floor you could be in any other hotel reception. 
The lady who checks you in, is so sweet. You get a key for the front door & also hotel door as they reception isn't 24/7. 
The room was bigger than I expected and the beds although small are very comfy. 
The location is perfect and tons of bars nearby. The metro is a 5 mins walk and if you are coming from the airport you will want line 8, then line 10 to Tribunal and then line 1 to Sol. 
This was a great find & would reccomend it to anyone looking for a 2 night break & not wanting to pay a fortune for a hotel.

A great find, in a great City!

The place is right smack in the center. For a first timer in Spain, I loved how noisy and vibrant it is. It is near Sol and Opera train stations. The room is well maintained with air conditioning. We were provided with towels during our stay. The bathroom size is adequate unlike the one we had in Valencia. Water pressure was also really good. I loved the warm shower after a long day of dragging my luggage from the airport. WIFI is fast. 

If you are a light sleeper, do not choose a room with a balcony. It's extremely noisy during the wee hours in the morning. Lots of shouting from people who just finished partying. 

Worth it

Before completing the registration process I asked the old spanish to let us see the camera she had allocated to us but in a mancing manner, she grinned, pointed out to my booking with Booking.com and said: Senior, you have paid for the camera anyway ! 
The camera (No. 101, the first on your left from the reception desk on the thrid floor) did not have a balcony but a veranda with sealed semi rotten windows. This was not what had been described to us but the camera at least had air conditioning. However, two of the three nights we spent were ruined by the excruciatingly painful noise that came from the road Calle Mayor. Couple with the noise from drunk tourists and spaniards for two nights there were road works that wen on until 3 am. It sent us mad and we had only a few hours sleep. Instead of getting up earlier we remained in bed until 10:30/11:00 thus losing site seeing valuable time. I suggest you avoid this establishment. It must have been aware of the road works going on yet still accepted guests.
