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.

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.

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.

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.

I would not recommend this place to anyone who is older and travelling alone. What is shown in the photos does not represent the reality. I had booked a double room with an attached bathroom and paid 150 euros. I was shocked to see the size of the room. There was no ventilation. It was below the level of the road and you could hear cars and people walking past. I had no option but to check out and look for another place as there was no way I could sleep in an airless room in a noisy neighbourhood. As I said, perhaps for the young, rooms like this are fine. But they are not a good choice for an older person. And the charges are too high for a room like that.

I have stayed in hotels much better for half the price of this hotel. The room smells like a sewer. They don't include shampoo, the neighborhood is not safe at night. Many hostile illegal migrants and drunks. At night I can hear on the street, fighting and bottles being broken. Trust me when i tell you to spend a little more, and get yourself a better hotel. The sewer smell in the room coming from the bathroom gave me headaches and terrible sleep. I will never return to this hotel.
