Hostal Viky

It was very close to the airport The bed was very, very hard, and there is no elevator -- in addition, I chose this hotel because of its proximity to the airport and the fact that it had a free shuttle...i called for the shuttle and was told it would be right there...30 Minutes later, still waiting alone outside in the dark, I called again and was told that the driver hadn't left yet but would leave soon...all told I waited over 45 minutes...not a selling feature...

quite nice, but very far from the city centre. Anyway I've choosen it because of the free transfer to the airport - the lady who drove us there (at 5 am) wasn't the kindest person on earth.

Free Airport shuttle service It was cold with no heating

I travel extensively globally and I have never encountered a ruder check- in member of staff. Would not issue a receipt, would not help with luggage (room not in main part of hotel and up some extremely ill-lit stairs). The bedroom in the eaves was cold (the heating did not work), there was no plug for the sink, the empty fridge was noisy and, when one did eventually get a trip to the airport, we had to wait ages (after the "on the hour" departure for non-existent passengers. The location of the hostel (and note it is not an hotel) may be near the airport but, in order to eat / drink, one has to go through some seriously dodgy streets to get to a piazza with some very down-market cafes. This was the worst place I have stayed for years.

location; near airport 1. the heater is not in our control;

great location to the airport. great free transportation shuttle. cheap wifi. kinda boring area if youre just there for the night, but you could go into madrid.
