“Ruben & Cristina were very helpful to me, particularly in introducing me to the major attractions in Madrid and helping me learn Spanish. They spoke slowly and gently corrected my mistakes. There are very patient and considerate people.”
“I don’t have any suggestion on how you could improve your service… except I would be happy to pay much more for the accommodation as I was better than staying in a hotel!”
“Ana & Cristina are very nice and helpful. They went out of their way to take care of me and help me with everything from travel plans to laundry. They are very flexible and said that whatever I wanted to do was fine with them. They are good at communicating even with low-level Spanish speakers.”

"In my case, I can only thank Alojamientos en Madrid for this nice accommodation and all the information supplied in advance."
“My host family has been very nice with me. Javier was happy to prepare very nice meals! Teresa, a good cook too (!), often took time to talk to me to make me improve my Spanish speaking. I was also able to meet their children who have already got a job; I felt part of the family! They are vey generous people and their flat was always very clean. I really enjoyed my stay in Madrid thanks to them! I do recommend Ail Madrid for the friendly family atmosphere I have felt inside the offices!
“Thank you again very much for this family and cheers to the staff!”
