I have been at Arc before but it was in another location, at Sol which wasn't that bad. Unfortunately, Arc Argumosa seems to be a homeless hotel, although the women bedroom is just acceptable. The €5 fee for keeping bags literally on the floor while the customer is out is ridiculous.

My biggest issue is with the locks; the women's bathroom was missing locks in the stalls and the locks on the rooms would glitch and not open. Then there was the lack of communication with the establishment, I was going to be late and communicated it multiple times, did the early check-in, etc. I was told they would send me the codes but they did not. I had to ring for entrance at least seven times.

LISTEN TO THE BAD REVIEWS. This place is a borderline homeless shelter with people that seem to live there. People were in and out of the room all night, sketchy people hanging out near the front door. Lockers don’t lock, even once you’ve put your lock through it? Plus the room door only closed half the time. Hallway smelt like urine. Bunks are also unusually small, like they are meant for children. Do not recommend this place at all but especially for young females.

Just don’t book this hostel. Especially as a female traveller, stay away. The area around the hostel is very shady at night, with drug addicts and homeless people. In the day time it seems ok. Someone said their card suddenly stopped working, so I didn’t trust the system to open the door when there’s no one in the reception. Bad atmosphere, mostly men, some people live here.. I didn’t know before now that 2* is the lowest rating, but it is. I have nothing positive to say. Stay away!

I do not recommend at all. this hostel looks and feels cheap. The only good thing is the dorm had a lot of space. But there was no privacy, no curtain, creaky bed, there was no sheet on bed to cover yourself only an old unwashed blanket. The bathroom and toilets were awful. So small you could barely turn in the shower. It was very dirty. There is no atmosphere and reception is not accessible 10pm-10am. They charge for bag storage Much better hostels elsewhere for similar price

wenn die andere Option die Straße wäre empfehle ich diese seelenlose Unterkunft. glaube aber dass es auch schlimmer gehen könnte. für das verstauen von Taschen zahlt man extra ca5/7€

If the other option was the road, I would recommend this soulless accommodation. but I think it could be worse. for storing bags, you pay extra about €5/7€

Didn’t feel safe at all in this place. Maybe it was my problem but it was full of grown men and i didn’t like the atmosphere in this place. The facilities and rooms were really clean tho, there is also ac which is great. I was supposed to stay for 2 nights but i changed hostel for the 2nd night cause i couldn’t feel safe here. Maybe don’t come here alone if you are a solo female traveller. Idk if it is always like this but i wouldnt recommend to anyone tbh.

La chica de la recepción es bastante borde al atender, no tiene paciencia. Me dijo que tenia que hacer yo mi Check-in a través de un correo que supuestamente me habían mandado, pero que al final NUNCA llegó y tuve que alzar un poco la voz para hacerla entender que NO ME HABÍA LLEGADO NINGÚN CORREO. Posterior a eso me reenvía el correo y procedo a llenarla. La plataforma no respondía bien, a tal punto que no podía registrarme. No te brindan toallas, en la habitación solo tienes una colc...

The girl at the reception is quite rude, she has no patience. she said that i had to check in through a mail that supposedly had been sent to me, but that in the end it never came and i had to raise my voice a little to make her understand that no mail had come to me. after that i forward the mail and proceed to fill it. the platform did not respond well, to such an extent that i could not register. they do not give you towels, in the room you only have a quilt.

De todos los hostales en los que estuve de lejos el peor, baños sucios todo el tiempo, regaderas de menos de 1x1, check in y check out muy ventajosos…. Las camas suenan demasiado no hay ventilación en las habitaciones decoración fea, no recomiendo para nadie, en la cocina no se puede cocinar, el wifi no sirve, vale totalmente la pena pagar otro aunque sea más costoso

Vertaald naar het Engels

Of all the hostels I've been to by far the worst, dirty bathrooms all the time, showers less than 1x1, check in and check out very advantageous.... The beds sound too loud no ventilation in the rooms ugly decoration, not recommended to anyone, in the kitchen you can't cook, wifi doesn't work, totally worth paying even if it's more expensive elsewhere

At first you can't find this place because no any signs, writings, then you should stay and by yourself the booking and they don't care that you want sleep They don't give lockers for your luggage Also if wanna leave your luggage, you should pay for each bag Also you should live at 10.00- 10.30 They don't give towel, but the price as for hotel Don't have any teapot Showers separately from room Don't recommend

Odiei os banheiros desse lugar. São chuveiros de cortina no meio do corredor, tomei banhos muito rápidos e só em horários de pouco movimento, pois não me senti muito segura. Mas fica bem próximo de vários museus.

Vertaald naar het Engels

I hate the bathrooms in this place. there are curtain showers in the middle of the hallway, I took very quick baths and only during times of little movement, because I didn't feel very safe. but it's very close to several museums.

Habitación mixta que no me parece mal, entrada hasta las 23 horas, por motivos de trabajo y advirtiendo en recepción que llegaría casi a las 1 e intentaría no hacer nada de ruido, ha sido toda la noche un trasiego de gente escandalosa en la habitación hasta las 7 de la mañana

Vertaald naar het Engels

Mixed room that doesn't look bad to me, entry until 11 pm, for work reasons and warning at the reception that I would arrive almost at 1 am and try not to make any noise, it has been a whole night of a move of scandalous people in the room until 7 am

OK, well located (near to the atocha train station) and also downtown, very affordable, however, sometimes lack of cleanliness, showers for men were not working, they closed them because there was a problem with some leaking in the pipes or something like that, and couldnt shower the last day, bc they closed the shower section for men only, and out of the 2 receptionist, the male one (I think his name was Erick) sometimes was a bit with attitude when you were asking about things, but ok overall

If it wasn't because it's in the center and because I want people to know about this hostel I wouldn't waste a minute of my time scoring it. 7 and for leaving the suitcase when checking out!!! But if you leave it with a top review on Google, free! Just visit the reviews. Check in at 3pm and check out at 10pm! Of the 4 boys toilets 2 out of service 60x60 showers, inconveniences. No kitchen A list of unnecessary penalties. Up to 350€! They don't allow drinking alcohol but they sell it to you!!!

Door to room wouldn't close properly. Mold in showers. No staff available for much of the visit. Missing linens from some of the beds. The room alternated from being so cold that it was difficult to sleep and then so hot that you would wake up sweating. I found a bed bug on my pillow in the middle of the night and took photos. However, since there was no staff on site during the night, I had no one to ask to change rooms. Staff were then unapologetic about the situation the following morning.
