This place was great, we were in Madrid during a heat wave and we were very thankful for a a/c that worked. This place is also in a great location of the city center. Easy to get to by subway or public transportation. Staff was extremely helpful!!

Absolutely loved this hostel! The receptionist let us in our room early so we didn't have to carry our luggage around and the room was super clean, the beds were comfy, and decent size room for me, my husband and my son. Highly recommend

This is a hostel so it is a bit different from a full service hotel. The location is great, very safe. We switched to a room with a bathroom shower, which made all the difference. But others may be fine with a shared bathroom. The rooms are very small worth it for the right price.

Pungent smells. Air conditioning is torturously loud, if on. Seems lots of local down and outs stay here. This is surprising considering the price markup, at least for tourists.

The check-in staff were lovely. The beds were firm and comfortable which is important to me as I have had back pain staying at other places. The AC worked well. The bathroom was fine with two small showers. There was an unpleasant sewer odor in the bathroom but not enough for me to ruin my stay. The street noise was pretty loud, but that was to be expected given the location. They held onto my luggage for free until 4PM, which was really nice. I would definitely stay again.

Excellent location and good value for the price. Very walkable to the main attractions of the city, Sol, Plaza Mayor, Buen Retiro etc, and also close to many eateries. Getting to MAD airport on public transit was a breathe - some 8 minutes walk to Sol station and a train ride with a transfer. We had a private room, but other than the provided towels, basically no in-room amenities. It was a bit strange that two private rooms shared one common balcony, which seemingly meant that the occupants of the other room could have entered our room (?) but we may have missed something. While we appreciated the few outlets we had, it was on the top bunk and there wasn't a convenient way for the lower bunk sleeper to share the outlets. Rooms were clean, but the cleanliness of the common area (kitchen, bathrooms) I suppose is somewhat at the grace of fellow travelers. How the communal fridge was shared showed some respect from fellow travelers, though, which speaks well about the clientele. Staff explained everything to us upfront (e.g bag storage, although we didn't utilize it).

Again, for the location and the value for the price, I would stay again.

The room was small but confortable. There was a large shared kitchen that was very nice, plus indoor and outdoor shared spaces. Our room had a mini-split, which cooled the room very quickly. The location was amazing, it was in a really cool neighborhood, and within walking distance to just about everything (it was also close to the metro, but we ended up just walking everywhere).

I wasn’t aware I booked a hostel as I never do that, however…I have a new appreciation for these modernized hostel ideas! Our private room was small but adequate. Mainly there for sleeping and charging devices. We loved the common area! It’s fully stocked and lovely place to chill. Someone sat down and gave us a free piano performance the first day! It’s walkable to a lot of things and attractions. HOLD ONTO YOUR PURSES while out! The staff during the stay was great, however was not so accommodating when we returned the following week to ask for some assistance.

Pros: Location, Price
Cons: Homeless people staying in the hostel who didn’t shower and smell really really bad.

Thankfully had a private room but was in the loft and corridor with the homeless people and the smell was really really bad. Also made it look less safe as they seemed fairly drunk coming out of their bedroom. Didn’t go to the toilets at night as I was afraid to see them.

Private twin was pretty tight but tidy. WC could have been cleaned more often. And people were drinking and smoking in the men’s which was not good for my 14 year old son. On the booking site it said breakfast included but there was no breakfast ant the time we stayed. Overall I would recommend. The daily piano concerts by travelers in the common room was a bonus.

If you are staying this hotel or hostel then which is the centro of everything - 2 nights a way more than enough... Spain towns usually are small - specifically things you want to visit such as key cathedrals or buildings etc - we could walk the entire town in a day so felt that last night was a bit of overdone - also it was the last stop of our 15 days in spain so we are over saturated with building and small gulleys, cars, roads and tiny things around - we wanted to go back to America - I was missing home! A great hostel overall - enjoyed it.

The room in which we only could sleep, was very small, about 9 square meters; two seperate beds, a tv set and airconditioning. Bathrooms and toilets were outside the room and based on shared use. This aspect I missed in the offer, maybe my fault, but We were not prepared for this. We used breakfast two times and this was simple but nice.
