Many shops walking distance and steps away from the metro. It could be a loud neighborhood at night. Staff were great with a 24/7 night watch.

It was clean and the staff were very friendly - if it wasn't for that there would be no stars. That is where it ends. If you want to get a good nights sleep do not stay here. The first room I was given had a terrible cigarette smell - i was moved and the next room was better. Both rooms were on ground level and the noise from the street was very loud all night long. The second night the gentleman working must have had a serious disturbance as there was yelling and crying - but being scared for my safety I stayed in my room until morning. Definitely overpriced and I will not return.

OK value for money
Location-wise, it was great, with the metro station just there, and using the metro system super easy access from the airport, and it was easy to get around the city from there.
The motel itself was a bit dirty, had obvious signs of age and could benefit from a proper deep clean. That being said, I didn't see anything alarming - no bed bugs, no insects, nothing that would be a problem. So, it's a rundown place, but at the price point of 50 euros a night, I feel it'll be as good as one can expect in the middle of the city.
FYI: bring earplugs as it's a kinda noisy area.

The hotel is very dirty. The shower was broken when I arrived and I had to change rooms because once the shower was fixed and I could take a shower, doing so caused the water to leak into the room. The surrounding area is quite dangerous, which is not the fault of the hotel of course, but something to consider. The staff are nice and friendly and the location is close to Atocha Train Station and Puerta del Sol.

The property is conveniently located near shopping (Carrefour), metro Lavapies and not too far from Calle de Atocha from which is fairly easy to get to Museo Reina Sofia, El Rastro, Mercado de San Fernando and multiple restaurants in between.
The shared bathroom (aseos) was new to me and the room assigned to me (#14) faced the street which at street level made it noisy throughout the night.
The staff was friendly and helpful with questions and suggestions.
The property is a modest motel, so there should be no expectations on anything but the basic for a one night stay: the bathroom was clean for it being a shared amenity and the room and linen were impeccably clean.

It was very low on conveniences and very rudimentary. 1 thin towel, cold room, hair dryer with little to no heat, BUT the price was minimal and the staff was kind and gave me a space heater, the price was right, in a neighborhood with everything one needs. No one would confuse it with a five star hotel but worth the cost and I would not hesitate to recommend it.

We stayed at Motel Lavapiés for two nights. Here’s my review:
Location:
The location is convenient, close to many shops and restaurants, and within a 15-20 minute walk to more vibrant areas.
Facilities:
We booked two rooms with the expectation of a shared bathroom between them, but it turned out the bathroom was shared by all the rooms on the floor. If you’re particular about hygiene, this might not be the best option. The rooms themselves are average, and there is a shared fridge and microwave available for all guests.
Noise:
The most frustrating part of the stay was the noise. Both nights were filled with loud noises and shouting, which made it difficult to sleep.

The hotel could have done better to make the stay more comfortable and enjoyable. I was first given a room where the wifi was non-existent. They did move me to a room where the wifi was better so that was appreciated. However, the bed was so large that you couldn't enter it from the sides. This was manageable but just odd. The main complaint was that the hotel is located in a busy area with a lot of car noise and nightlife. This meant a lot of light. The window shades were so thin that they didn't block any light at all and you could practically read without the lights on. I brought this to their attention and the man went to look and said that there were curtains. I agreed and said that they were so thin that they were totally ineffective. It was very difficult to get a night of sleep. The staff was friendly and all that, but a bit more concern for these little things would have gone a long way.

Very noisy at night—everything from the street can be heard clearly from the room. The hotel feels quite old, and the bathroom is outdated as well.

Actually we took one look and smell and left. The sheets looked clean but on the whole VERY rundown and of course the smell I think it was attempted to being masked by strongly scented cleaners which only compounded the issue I simply couldn’t breathe in the room. The staff were good about it why not they had our money. This accommodation should NOT BE DISPLAYED ON ANY BOOKING PLATFORM!!!!!

The area was ok and close to the metro. The basement room was very poor. Very noisy from passing pedestrians. It wasn't easy to move around the room. The shower leaked into the bathroom. Couldn't open the wardrobe as was too close to the bed. No signal on the TV. Bed tipped up when sitting on one side. Found a cockroach in the bathroom. Unpleasant smell. Nice bedding on the bed. Staff were nice.

Paid for four nights, left after three. Rented a room at a hotel across town, actually paying for two hotel rooms on our last night in Spain because they were so bad. I've been in at least 30 countries on four continents in the last 40 years, I've switched hotels many times but I've never been so disgusted with a place that I just left. A screaming argument just outside our window at 5:00 am that went on for half an hour, the hotel manager couldn't be bothered to open the front door and tell them to shut up or move. They acted like they played the part of running a hotel, once, years ago, in a high school play. It is a building with beds, toilets, and doors with keys. Not card keys. Real keys. On cheap plastic rings. My wife and I didn't feel secure enough to leave our passports or anything of value in the room. Oh, and did I mention the stink? Bad enough to knock a buzzard off a dead cow at 50 meters. Won't be staying there again.

There was no heat in the room and it was 3 degrees celcius. I was freezing all night. The motel area is full of homeless drug addicts and is not safe. I did not feel safe in the room and put the dresser and chair against the door.

Room 14 was awful and priced at least 3 times more than it should have been. In the basement, dingy, musty, so cramped you could not open the cabinet as it was 6 inches from bed, which had a Shakey leg. Tiny sink, no soap or shampoo as pictured, pitiful bath towel, none for hands. So noisy all night long and into the early morning, no sleep.
