Nice staff

Very quiet

Everything was excellent

The bed wasn’t clean, the shower head was broken and the worst was the smell in the room.

Location

The place was conveniently located in Madrid and next to a metro station, however, a bad experience upon check in got us off to a bad start and the room was VERY small and cramped for the price. Bathroom and showers are individual and shared, no common space, more of a hotel than hostel.

I think everything was fine, just that I had to wait for over 10mintues to get the room clean up.

Good location, good water pressure. Check in was a breeze. We got the private room so we had a private bathroom. Only downside was no AC or fan in room.

Numancia was decent. Served the purpose of having a place to go back to & sleep after sightseeing all day. Walls are super thing though & you can hear everything, especially if you have one of the front desk area rooms.

Hotel very difficult to find. It took me 20 minutes. I found somebody on the street nearby who called the hotel for me and directed me to where it was. I found the address. There was a sign about 5 storeys above street level. I had to ring the bell at the main door for the 5th floor. There was a tatty piece of paper about 1cm x 3cm long on the doorbell panel saying Hotel Numancia on the door bell pad. This was the only indication of the Hotel at street level. The street was narrow with tall tenement buildings each side. I got into the lift and pressed 5 for the floor I had been told. I exited the lift. There was no indication where the hotel was. I entered through a large dark oak door and there was a man behind a desk. He only spoke Spanish. He looked through a small sheaf of random papers and couldn’t find my reservation. This took 10 minutes. Bear in mind I’d walked around Madrid all day and was very very tired. I grabbed the sheets off him and went through them myself. I found my name below a tatty piece of paper stapled onto a sheet with my details. The paper had a handwritten note saying I was now to go to the Hotel San Blas. He telephoned the other hotel and I spoke to somebody who eventually understood that I would walk there. The other hotel was about 800m away; remember I was very tired and needed a shower as it had been 35degrees all day!! I eventually found the other hotel and pressed the buzzer and was told, very rudely that they were full! I slept on a bench!!!
