Hostal Tijcal II, Madrid - Reviews & Ratings"we didn't sleep at all and we changed our hotel for the 2nd and 3rd day.When I told the receptionist about the noise. He was surprised. We told him that we would like to change our hotel. He said that we would pay fully for the 2nd and the 3rd night.I claimed that I keep the room even if i won't stay. Afterwards when we got back from finding a new hotel, he seemed to ponder twice so we didn't pay for the 3rd night" (108716233)
we paid for a bigger room but stay in a tiny! We couldn't sleep beacause of the noise: continously someone was opening the door (private- think it's for the staff!)turning the keys.

Hostal Tijcal II, Madrid - Reviews & Ratings"Our short was excellent! We enjoyed our break from the day we arrived till the last day. Good............." (108458727)
My wife and I had a lovely holiday in madrid. The hotel attendants were very helpful and always cheerful and at all times prepared to assist us. The language different not a problem.
The double room were not as big as we expected but the cleaners did fantastic job.

Hostal Tijcal II, Madrid - Reviews & Ratings"I guess this place was worth the 39 Euros per night that we spent, but it did not feel at all like a 3-star place. More spacious rooms and a bed that didn't feel like a brick would have helped. " (108236492)
Check-in was easy, the staff all spoke good English. Location was also great, close to Metro and many fun places to eat and drink.
Our double room was teeny tiny, with hardly enough room to open up our two suitcases on the floor. Bathroom was also teeny tiny, when you opened the door, it hit the sink and you had to squeeze yourself in. Also, the WiFi only worked sporadically, and the direct Ethernet connection did not work at all.

Clean room, welcoming staff, ++/ location of the hôtel, very good ++/price
the bed sheets haven't been changed during our stay, and breakfast wasn't so good. Moreover, the fact that the climatization isn't included in the price of the room seems a bad surprise to us...

I was surprised at how great this hotel was at the price we paid. The rooms and bathrooms were clean and they cleaned it every day. It was also a grate location close to everything and lots of restaurants and bars near by.
The only bad thing was that the internet did not work in our room and had to go out to the reception desk to use it.

Was staying on the 2nd floor, i could not access wireless internet as the connection was not strong for me to receive the signal in the room. The wired connection in my room was not possible as there was no signal even when i wire up my laptop to the port.

Hostal Tijcal II, Madrid - Reviews & Ratings"Although the location was great, I would not stay at this hotel again nor would I ever recommend it. This review was based mostly on the poor performance of the staff." (108012638)
The location was great.
In the hospitality industry, you should, at the very least, be nice to your guests. The staff were unpleasant and, at times, very rude. I don't think they would have bothered me as much if I didn't have to see them to give or get my room key. The room was almost claustrophobic but clean.

central location, very clean
Thin internal walls. Not all rooms are as spacious as the one we had with bath and shower ensuite.

Hostal Tijcal II, Madrid - Reviews & Ratings"The hostal was in a very central location, about a 2 minute walk from Sol metro. The hotel staff were all very friendly and helpful. The safety deposit box in the room was only 1.50 per day. The power shower was excellent but a shame that you could not alter the position of shower head and the cubicle itself was on the small side. A kettle and a couple of cups and maybe a list of extras and their charges (ie. air conditioning; phone charges etc) would have been useful. Overall impression - fantastic!" (99335345)
The twin room (114) was excellent value for money and a very welcome suprise. It was of adequate size and very modern and clean.
The view from the window was of the window opposite (about 4 metres away) so we kept the curtain closed whilst in the room.

Hostal Tijcal II, Madrid - Reviews & Ratings"Overall the Hostal was a good choice. Some of the guests were a bit noisy late into the evening which I realise is out of the Hostals control. Coffee making facility in the rooms would be good. I was given the wrong room when I arrived(I had asked for a twin and was given a double). The member of staff who was on duty was very prompt in sorting out the problem." (99911943)
Clean, friendly staff and good value for money. Excellent central location.
Was noisy at night and the room was too warm

Hostal Tijcal II, Madrid - Reviews & Ratings"All in all we are very happy with our stay, and we sure would like to come back! The disappointment of not feeling very welcome at first, soon became a very small problem as we talked to the persons at the front desk in the next few days of our three nights' stay. And we were wished welcome back! This we will do. We loved the area the hostal was in, and found it easy to get around, walking and by metro." (99035625)
We liked the central place of the hostal. Good value for money. A very nice, cosy and clean room, with lovely colours and good heating, which we did not need caused to the unusual lovely weather of january. We had like a luxury feeling of breakfast served in the room; a very good idea for us, and timesaving.
When we arrived, past ten at night, as we had informed about,we were both tired and a bit anxcious, as we had never been in Madrid before. However, we did not feel very welcome; the receptionist did not even look up as we said hello. And the following morning, as we were told to call on the phone for breakfast, at my 'buenos dias', the greeting back was 'si?' Maybe a little course in smiling would do for this staff?

Hostal Tijcal II, Madrid - Reviews & Ratings"Siempre que viajo a Madrid me hospedo en hostales de esta zona y nunca había dicho al marcharme "aquí no vuelvo"; al salir de éste sí lo dije. Creo que la relación calidad-precio deja mucho que desear. Sé que estoy pagando la zona y la fecha claro, pero por el mismo precio y más barato incluso, habían otros en la misma zona y de más calidad donde me había alojado anteriormente. ¡Por algo se habían ocupado antes! Mínimo creo que deberían garantizar un buen descanso que a fin de cuentas, es para lo que uno lo quiere pues vamos al hotel sólo a dormir.." (108379150)
Su localización.
Habitación excesivamente calurosa por lo que debes pagar como extra, quieras o no, el aire acondicionado aparte de increíblemente pequeña. Excesivos ruidos procedentes tanto del pasillo como de las habitaciones contiguas. Se oye todo lo que se habla en el alrededor.En las noches también ruidos del piso de abajo que parece que a diario tenían reuniones, fiesta... porque hasta con guitarras y cantos nos amenizaron más de una vez. Mi habitación concretamente daba a un minúsculo patio luz que a la vez debía servir de trastero pues estaba lleno de trastos; aparte es por donde bajan las cañerías y se oía continuamente caer el agua desde que alguien de arriba abría grifos o tiraban de cisterna. Un día que llovió encima tuve que soportar el ruido de la lluvia cayendo sobre los aparatos del aire acondicionado que estaban justo debajo de mi ventana y sobre los trastos metálicos que habían en el bajo con lo cual fue imposible pegar ojo en toda la noche.

Stanza piccola ma pulita. Praticamente in centro a due passi da tutto e nonostante questo la camera nn era rumorosa. Reception 24 ore su 24 e i ragazzi ke ci lavorano sono molto gentili e disponibili. Ho prenotato dopo aver letto tutti i messaggi positivi lasciati su questo e altri siti e sono stata molto soddisfatta!

Bonito diseño, buena ubicación, muy buena atención en recepción, buena calefacción, se oían pocos ruidos de la calle.
Higiene cuestionable: habían un par de pelos en las sábanas y moho en la ducha. El baño tenía un extraño olor.

Hostal Tijcal II, Madrid - Reviews & Ratings"Una estancia tranquila." (108563349)
La habitación ofrece todo lo necesario y esperado (en poco espacio).
Es necesario incluir en el precio final el aire acondicionado. No es posible abrir la ventana, pues el ruido que hay en el patio interior es insoportable. Las charlas de los turistas, cierre y abertura de puertas se oyen desde la habitación a partir de medianoche.

Hostal Tijcal II, Madrid - Reviews & Ratings"Buena localización, buen trato, formales, precio adecuado, muy limpio, mobiliario nuevo... a ese precio volvería a ir sin dudarlo." (108478418)
Todo muy limpio, nuevo, muy buen precio, buena localización, nada de ruido...
La habitación era algo pequeña, aunque nada molesto. EL aire acondicionado no iba en el precio (6€ más), pero la habitación doble era de por sí barata (33€), así que por 39€ todo me pareció un muy buen precio.

"A great choice for the urban traveller, for a short break or weekend." (108610299)
In general the staff were both attentive and helpful, often going out of their way to help. The location was excellent as well.
The sound-proofing between rooms was quite poor and while well signposted, it was difficult intially to tell if we were at the right place.
