I like the location of this hostel. It is close to the airport, but in a quiet neighborhood. There are some good restaurants around the area, and it was fun to walk around a different part of greater Madrid. The property is very clean. The bed was comfortable and linens were fine. Some have complained about having to walk up stairs, but not an issue for us. The ride to the airport at 3:30 am was great.

The rooms are small, but not a big issue for us. The only drawback is that the hotel is not well soundproofed. People stay here because it is so close to the airport and come in late and leave early. My husband is not a light sleeper and it wasn’t a big issue for him. I am more distracted by noise outside in the hallway.

I was a little hesitant booking here with some of the views I read; however, I was very pleased with my experience at the Hostal Viky. It lived up to its description. It was clean, quiet, well kept, easy to get to, and it was nice to have a new location to explore in Madrid. I stayed in a room with a single bed. It was tiny, but all that I needed for a one-night stay. I took a bus there that dropped me off with a 1-minute walk from Hostal Viky. It is situated within a couple of minutes walking to restaurants, bars, and markets. The bonus was the free shuttle. It was very comfortable and modern. I read reviews complaining about the staff, but I was very happy with the reception staff. Check-in was a little slower than other properties I've been to, but Ramon was very good to answer questions. I'm giving Hostal Viky a high score because it is as described. It is what's expected, but in my mind exceeded expectations. If you're looking for accommodation close to the airport with a shuttle service, I recommend Hostal Viky.

I have nothing negative to say about Hostal Viky, but a couple of comments that some travellers might like to know. First of all, there is no elevator. Be sure to be able to handle your luggage up relatively narrow stairs. I can speak only of my experience in a single room. The shower is modern, but small. I'm an average sized person and could just turn in the shower.

First time in a hostel type environment. Place was clean, and neat. Although NO FRILLS, the bed was comfortable enough. Good shower /plenty of hot water. Warm and cozy. We've paid more and gotten less! Walking distance to town with everything we needed. No funky smells & quiet.

We could have used an elevator. We had to keep our bags locked downstairs and walk up. It was akin to having to pack for the night and carry it up two flights of stairs. If we were backpacking that would not have been an issue ten years ago We are older and walking up a few flights of stairs was an issue it would not have been ten years ago.

The place is really good for a stay between flights, as it is very close to the airport - and even better, pick-up from the airport was included. That was a great help late at night. Close to the airport, but there was no flight noise whatsoever. I have slept very well, though the bed was just a little bit shorter for my height - but not really a problem. The thing I liked most is Barajas is not simply "the area around the airport", but a place with its own character and soul - while I walked through to the Metro station to get into town, I could experience the quiet but very characteristic vibe of it.

There weren't any problems, really. Maybe could have liked to get a breakfast, but that was not an issue at all. The place is mainly for connecting air passengers, and does really well in providing opportunity for a good sleep.

Hostal Viky is a suitable option for a simple stay near the airport. Beds are comfortable, accommodating guests up to 6ft/185cm. A transfer service, daily housekeeping, and AC are included. The area offers a pharmacy, restaurants, a small 24hr. laundromat with a hot food vending machine, and a minimarket. No elevator, but reception offers suitcase storage. Barajas metro station (Line 8) is within walking distance, 500m away. The Barajas Park and the Jubilados Plaza are good sites to relax. Look for the stork nest at the top of a tree in the park.

The staff that drive us from the airport to the hotel and back to the airport was really helpful, hardworking and respectful

Walking distance to metro, stores and places to eat. Excellent with airport shuttle. Staff is very good. Stayed there few times. Arrive on metro from train station in Madrid. Leave via free airport shuttle. Great for first late night arrivals to Madrid/spain onwards. Fly in. Get free shuttle pick up. Rest. We walked to metro in the morning. Also within walking distance is laundromat.

Walls in room are very thin. So can hear talking in adjacent rooms.otherwise, a good deal. But was quite at night. Since it is mainly a transient one night stay hotel there may be noise from people coming and going 24/7. But can get good nights rest.

This is highly practical as a stop-over between planes on different days. The pick-up service is reliable and efficient. The town is actually rather fun, despite being next to an airport, and an attractive square with cafés and restaurants is only 200 metres away from the hotel. It certainly beats staying in some form of soul-less airport chain. The facilities are suitable for their purpose, though not spacious.

Nothing, though it wouldn’t be suitable for people who are physically incapable of walking up a flight of stairs.

Love the ZEN monastic single rooms. No clutter, extremely clean(!!!). If you take METRO to Baranjas there is a taxi stand just opposite the Metro exit. It costs about 5.25 euros to Hostal Viky (April 2025) and it is worth the expense, because walking to HV from METRO is complicated through industrial estates. 3 minutes away from HV is the historic PLAZA Mayor. There are at least 4 restaurants where you can have a lovely lunch or dinner. The transport service to airport terminals is excellent.

Close to the airport and offer shuttle to it.

Racist shuttle driver. A young man dropped off 5 Spaniards at a terminal before us and downloaded their big suitcases, he was not tipped. I felt bad and increases the tip I had planned. When we got to our terminal, we had to download our 2 small suitcases and backpacks, when we finished, he downloaded the small suitcase for the spaniard that was also dropped at our terminal. Of course he did not receive any tip from me, or anybody else.
