#負評#對鄰近店舖，梳洗用品，走廊隔音，房間大小，防治蚊蟲措施，隔音失望；空间狭小，闹市吵闹，交通不便，没办法接送住店客人，感受极差

Ubicación excelente. Buen desayuno y buen trato del personal.

We stayed as a couple three nights in Vitium Urban Suites. Check-in and service was a breeze... Location PERFECT on Gran VIA Broadway of Spain. A really nice corner suite with views to the Gran Via street. It was spacious and bright, with a nice flat tv and private bathroom and spa. Everything was 15 minutes max walking distance to visit. Would defo recommend to family and friends.

Located a little further up on busy Gran Vía near Plaza de España. Not my favorite part of Madrid, but convenient Metro access and the ability to walk to Plaza Mayor, the Royal Palace or Puerta del Sol in ~15 minutes makes it a good home base. Our room on the back side of the hotel was basic, clean and reasonably comfortable, small but not cramped. Windows did an excellent job of blocking out sound in this noisy neighborhood. They do have A/C, but you may find opening the window works better. Just bring ear plugs if you plan to sleep that way. Note that from the street, you take stairs or the small elevator up to the office on the 5th floor (what we’d call 6th floor in the US). I believe rooms are either on that floor and the 4th. The staff was friendly and helpful and spoke much better English than my horrible Spanish. I believe they do offer breakfast, but we chose to save a little and just grab something from one of several coffee/pastry places nearby. Overall a fine option for simple, non-luxury accomodations in a convenient, relatively central location.

the pros: The hostal's (not a hotel, not a hostel) online photos do not do it justice. It is even better looking in person and you really get good value for your money especially because of its PRIME location. The room I stayed in was the right size for a solo traveler. The bathroom is VERY small. It is hard to maneuver in there even to get in the shower. This is not a big deal but something I think travelers should know ahead of time. Again, the best thing about this place besides the price is the location. The Cons: The front desk staff are very short with you and have snippy attitudes. The hospitality industry is one where it is 100% guaranteed that you will encounter tourists from all walks of life, countries, and backgrounds. So if this is something that bothered them I do not understand why they chose this profession. They seem annoyed even if you say good morning or hello to them in Spanish. You can't seem to win with these folks and I'm not a sensitive person, coming from NYC, but it is universal in the hospitality world that it is bad business to treat your customers like you don't want them there. If this is a deal-breaker for you, then this might not be the right place to stay. But for the affordability of the room, I dealt with it. Secondly, not too long after my first day, a smell that resembled raw sewage seeped through the hallway and persisted throughout the entirety of my stay. It was only in the hallway and front desk area but not in my room thank goodness. Overall, I still liked my stay enough to not be turned off by the negative side and I think it would be much improved once you hire more personable staff.
