Overall clean and modern hostel that’s a great value. Located in a very central location that’s close to the train station and walkable to the city. The rooms are slightly smaller but that’s to be expected given it’s a hostel. I’d stay again when visiting Madrid.

Area is ok for a short stay, but I would choose elsewhere as a base to actually explore Madrid. However it is very convenient to the Principe Pio train station/metro, which is why I chose it. The entrance is a little odd - check in is downstairs at the bar & the self check in machines weren't working. I slept well here, not too noisy & the beds are comfortable. The cleanliness leaves something to be desired though- while the sheets looked ok, my curtain had what appeared to be blood stains & there was a peice of used chewing gum on the shelf. As other reviews mentioned, the shower leaking onto the floor is still an issue, but there's a mop to clean up. There is also nowhere private to change after showering unless you go back into the wet shower (I was in an all female dorm thankfully!). Overall I'd still stay there again if needed for my travels though.

Nice location, not too far from the station. Hostel itself is clean, nice rooms as well. Only negative is the fact I was on the ground floor right next to the seating area so you could hear everyone and it’s not pleasant at 1am when there’s a big group just laughing away non stop. You can also hear everyone getting ready for breakfast and just chatting away as which is frustrating and breaks your sleep.

This is property is ok . Just not my style . The place is extremely small and claustrophobic. The beds are so close together that it's overwhelming for me. I also did not like the way the lockers are set up on the floor under the bed. I hated having to get down on my knees to get into the locker . The shower and bathroom was an extreme no no for me. I ended up going to another hostel that had a real bathroom . The most annoying thing was the window directly on my bed and while I was sleeping the housekeeper just opens it and freezing cold air comes in. This was very bizarre to me. Ohh and something to note is that the water doesn't have a hot of cold valve. So if you want to wake up and wash your face it will be with freezing cold water . I would not recommend this place at all.

I chose Petite Hostel for its excellent location, just seconds from Príncipe Pío station and about 7 minutes from Plaza de España and Gran Vía. The staff was friendly, and Fiorella was very courteous in helping me with my check-in. The surrounding area was very clean, and the breakfast was good. For my travel dates, only an 8-bed dorm was available, even though I wanted the 4-bed female dorm. The room was very small and cramped, making it quite uncomfortable. The storage is under the lower bunkbeds. The bed was comfortable, but I barely slept well because the lack of space amplified the noises. In all my travels, this is the first time I've had such inconsiderate roommates, constantly interrupting during the night. They also left the shower area soaking wet and brushed hair everywhere—very inconsiderate. Besides the room situation, I have no complaints.

I did not go. Never intended to go back there. I don't eat food that I threw up. Racists, biaised, classless, ill-mannered people like these should not have any business dealing with other races. I reported them and nothing was checked for my safety when you thought I will return there?
Except for the front entrance pee smelling odor, the waiting area seemed alright. I did not see the roms. This review is for the staff. Especially the heavy set rude one that was stuffing her face in a whole in the back; I am glad you can do more with my money.

Too \"petit\" for comfort

I wouldn't recommend this place. The sleeping space was uncomfortable to begin with. I had to sleep sideways on my bed because I couldn't fit properly, and I'm not even that tall! Also, a lot of the light bled through the curtains which, when you add all the noise and bad smells, made it kind of unbearable. The room floor, the shower and toilet spaces were also pretty confined; there is barely any space to move in there or to put your belongings. I kid you not, this place made me wish I was sleeping on the streets of Madrid, or on the bench of a nearby park. Please, do yourself a favor and don't sacrifice your comfort for location or convenience, it's just not worth it, especially with so many options nearby.

Cada vez que vengo a Madrid, hace 4 años. Me quedo en este Hostal; cualquiera de sus 2 ubicaciones en Madrid. Es un lugar, muy seguro y limpio. Su staff es amigable y siempre listo para ayudar. Quiero resaltar el servicio de Pau, volvi despues de un año, siempre esta atenta a a cada detalle para que todo tu estadía sea excelente.
La mejor!!!

Best Hostal

Best hostal in Madrid, great location like 4 min away from Plaza de España and Palacio Real, a lot of supermarkets around it and coffee shops, for the price is one of the best hostels there is and it’s super comfortable, has a kitchen and fridge so you can save your food

Not the worst experience but it was very different from all the hostels i’ve been to before. The rooms were very tiny and cramped with no natural daylight which I wasn’t a big fan of. The floor space of a 12 bed dorm could barely fit an open suitcase. The lockers were a good size but having to lock and unlock them with a key was a bit of an unnecessary hassle. The lights are on a sensor and the light in the room never went out so I barely slept the whole time I was there. Unfortunately the vibe was very unsociable which was a bit sad so it felt more like a pod hotel than a hostel. I wouldn’t recommend if you’re a super social person but it would’ve been nice if i actually got some sleep.

The staff is great, no issues with them. Uvia is awesome and very helpful. However the facilities themselves were BAD. Like terrible. When they say petit, they really mean petit. I've stayed at many hostels and have never experienced such a small space before. There cannot be more than two people standing. You are literally cramped with five other people. It was such a bad experience.

It's a good small/quiet and convenient hostel. Location is really good, metro/train station is just literally out side the hostel. From the station, easy conection to airport. Super store and shops are just around the corner. Royal Palace/gardens are just 10 minutes. Gran via is 15 and temple of debod & plaza de espana is also 10/15 minutes walk. Rooms and Wash rooms were clean. Staff was very helpful. Overall, good hostel with good location.

Good for the price!

Good location and good all round hostel. The pods were a good size with good curtains. Only down side was the rooms are quite hot when the curtains are closed. There is a toilet and shower in the room so you don’t need to keep using the communal ones. The location is great, close to Gran Via and a nice strole to El Retiro.

This property was certainly an experience. I personally found the staff to be nice, however on several other measures the property fell short. For one, the bathrooms were not particularly clean, and at many times I found myself having to search for alternative facilities as a result. Second, for the summer time in Spain, my particular dorm was rather hot and not very well air conditioned. Perhaps worst of all were the other guests that I encountered. Three men in particular traveling together had all gotten sick and days later now I am sick. Another guest snored so loud that I couldn’t sleep. I have given hostels many different chances but this is the last time I will be making that mistake.

Ideal location, friendly staff

Perfect location near major attractions and metro connections. Common areas were very small but always clean and staff very friendly. My only problem with the hostel was that because it’s small and my room was near the common area it could be quite noisy with inconsiderate guests making loud noise in the middle of the night (not the fault of the hostel obviously but just something to bear in mind)

overall stellar PERFECT LOCATION that is near Madrid’s perfect public transit system — one of the other guests meowed like a cat repeatedly during the night which was a little weird but more of a reflection of her than the place. Great accommodations and easy to lock stuff up. Cannot recommend more highly!

First time hostel traveler and it wasn't a bad experience, just a few irritating things.
Staff was really friendly.
Bathroom area could be better; the shower wasn't that great and kind of a hazard since I almost slipped and killed myself on the small mat that was outside the shower and you had to mop up after yourself because water leaked out. Its not a huge deal but it could be better and remember to bring a towel.
Breakfast was alright, nothing special.
Daily cleanings which is nice.
card activated lockers so you can keep your valuables safe.
Walkable to a metro station and pretty close to Gran Via area.
Relatively quiet and people were respectful. I did get a little warm in my bunk when I closed the curtain so maybe bring a small fall with you if you get warm at night.
Also, someone stole my sneakers. Like, they were just Fila sneakers, nothing expensive but it was like, really? And there is an assumption about check out times, not good to assume so I was late and didn't even realize it but the staff but nice enough about it so I could gather my things and get myself checked out. It wasn't on my email, so for future reference, check out is at 11am.
I'd stay again, but will be more careful about my shoes.

There were limited food options near the property, we ended up ordering in twice during our stay. Also, where there wasanair conditioner in the room it was not very effective, leading to a hot stuffy room at night.
On the upside it is very close to a metro station (approx 5-7 minute walk away) andthe breakfast options are good.

It was absolutely lovely, great location with lime scooters close by and easy access to the city. Amazing value for money. Only two down sides. The first being the size of the pod was a bit too small for me but granted I’m 6”4 anyone smaller than that will be nice and cosy. The other downside was the shower was Luke warm, I just prefer a scalding hot shower but it was still pleasant.
