Guesthouse Pensión Apolo XI (Madrid, Spain)

The location is the biggest draw of this hotel for most guests - with its position just off Puerta del Sol, you can't get any more central than this, and you'll be within walking distance of Madrid's central attractions. The metro station is just around the corner for exploring more of the city.

Guests say that the hotel offers good value for money, providing a reasonable room at a low price in the heart of Madrid. Rooms are simple, but provide most of the amenities you'll need, so if you're looking for a basic, no-frills stay, Apolo XI does the job and saves you money.

Most guests seem happy with the housekeeping at this hotel, saying that the rooms are kept clean, including the shared bathrooms, which helps to make staying here a pleasant and straightforward experience, and provides a room in which you can just relax.

The service doesn't impress some guests, who say that the staff at the front desk can be quite abrupt and not always very friendly. It's also worth noting that there's no luggage storage available, so you may have to make alternative arrangements after check-out.

There's no air conditioning at Apolo XI, which can make the rooms uncomfortably hot during the summer. There don't seem to be many fans available either, so you may want to consider packing your own if you're going when the weather's hot.

The Wi-Fi seems to be spotty at this hotel, with some guests finding it works only sporadically in their rooms. You may get a better signal in the main reception area, but it can be a pain to traipse down there every time you want to get online.
