I've read plenty of comments on the Hostal Massachusetts but most of them appear to complain about the area without making comment on the actual accommodation. Could anyone provide information on the cleanliness etc. of the rooms? I don't hava a problem with a "dodgy area" but need to sleep in a clean bed.

Many thanks.

Which Hostal Massachusetts are we talking about? The one in Barcelona, Sevilla, La Coruña, Madrid, or Valencia? Please include the city location in your subject line to help others help you. Thank, Blademan!

Saludos, MadridMan

Sorry Madridman. It's the Hostal Massachusetts in Madrid.

Cheers,

I spent one night at the Hostal Massachusetts in September, before staying at the much nicer Hostal Chelo. I can say that in all honsesty the rooms at Hostal Massachusetts are moderatley clean, and that you can pass a reasonably comfortable night in thier beds. The area is centrely loctaed for tourists- wich attracts "professional ladies" in search of new prospects. In total you will not suffer in the Hostal Massachusetts if you set your expectations(regarding the room, not the ladies seeking companionship) at a reasonable level.

Enjoy Madrid!

You sound like a typical pasty faced little Englander. I think for the price, you've got a bared faced cheek asking for a clean room. I suppose you'll be wanting bone china cups at breakfast. I think you're living in the past. Are you from Chesterfield???
Your kind make me sick. I suppose a "tin a tuna, week a tuuesdi" isn't good enough for you.

I can't beleive what I'm reading. The price you're paying, and you want a clean bed. A regular little Lord Fauntelroy aren't we? When I were a lad, we use to sleep in a sceptic tank. I had to get up at 10 o'clock at night, half an hour before I went to bed, and lick road clean wit' tongue; then our dad would thrash us to sleep wi his belt.

Anyway, enjoy your stay in Madrid

All the best

Badger, I hope you "sleep it off" before returning.

Don't worry, MadridMan! The Anchovy has rumbled this dynamic duo and deduced that the Badger is pulling his friend the Blade's leg, because their names, coupled with the kindly reference to a neighbouring town in England gives them away as nothing more sinister than friendly Sheffield United football supporters. Remember "The Full Monty"?

THAT'S a relief! Thanks for the tip-off, Anchovy Front!

Well spotted Anchovy Front. Throw that man a fish
I just happen to be the poor soul who booked Hostal Massachusetts before any negative feedback came in. However, in my defence, it was the only place that would accept a booking for a party of 33 on a stag do.

I look forward to updating the board on our return.

Cheers
